Products with vitamins A, C, and E must be in dark containers (though many products don't even follow this rule), but this one comes in a completely opaque container. This made me think, 'Ah, the concentration must be quite high. Nice!' I have a lot of uneven skin tone and marks, so I'm very interested in pigmentation and blemish care. I applied this product to areas with marks for about 5-6 days, and they really did fade! I started by using it every other day (to let my skin adapt to retinal and caffeine, which I've never used before), then gradually increased to daily use. The results are truly impressive. I deeply regret not taking before and after photos because the improvement is so noticeable.
ConsThe downside is that it might sting a bit for those with sensitive skin (including myself) when first using it. So you need to go through an adjustment period. But this isn't really a drawback, it's just that the usage method differs depending on skin type. It's not quite reached 'holy grail' status for me yet, so I'll keep using it and update my review later.
TipInstead of applying it all over your face, it's better to pat it onto specific areas that need treatment as the last step of your skincare routine! I squeezed out a bit and applied it with a cotton swab after finishing all my other steps, including moisturizer (I focused on acne scars and areas with large pores). Also, don't use this product with vitamin C! It can irritate the skin and cause dryness. Avoid using it with AHA/BHA products as well. When using this, make sure to apply a cream containing ceramides to help with skin regeneration and protection.

However, this product caused no blemishes at all. It truly felt like it was formulated with gentle, high-quality ingredients. ✓ Smooth application in cream form - I've only used serums before, but this cream definitely applies more smoothly and thinly. ✓ Hygienic packaging - The pump bottle is incredibly hygienic. Retinol products need protection from sunlight, and this product has thoughtfully addressed that concern. ✓ Fresh texture - I appreciated that the texture wasn't heavy or sticky, but rather light with good hydration.
Cons✗ Initial tingling sensation - As expected with retinol products, there's a slight tingling sensation when first applied. It wasn't severe; in fact, it was so mild that the brief 2-second tingle was the only indication that this was indeed a retinol product.
TipI recommend starting with a tiny amount around the eyes, then gradually increasing to a small amount all over the face, and finally to the full recommended amount. While this product works well for me and I plan to repurchase, I believe an initial adjustment period is always necessary!

The pump design allows you to use every last drop - it really feels like you're getting your money's worth. Plus, the controlled dispensing lets me adjust the amount precisely with each pump, which is a huge plus! ✔️Application: It glides on with a light, refreshing feel that's moisturizing without being heavy at all. Yet it still packs a punch in the hydration department! ✔️Size: The generous amount means you can use it liberally without worrying about running out quickly. One purchase should last quite a while, making it great value for money! This single cream tackles wrinkles, firmness, and hydration all at once... Everyone should get on board with Kyne!
Cons✔️Skin Adaptation: Initially, you might experience temporary redness, itching, burning sensation, tingling, or skin flaking as your skin adjusts. This is a natural part of your skin's renewal cycle! Your skin just needs some time to get used to it. ✔️Not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
TipHow to use Kyne Cafetinal Cream: 1️⃣Apply a small amount to problem areas morning and night! Start by using it every other day for the first two weeks, then gradually increase usage. If using in the morning, sunscreen is an absolute must! 2️⃣Avoid using simultaneously with exfoliating scrubs or other potentially irritating skincare products. 3️⃣For even better results, layer a soothing cream or moisturizer on top to boost hydration!
