Kaine Cafetinal Cream

A slow-aging cream powered by the synergy of caffeine and retinal

This anti-aging cream combines 2% caffeine with 300 ppm retinal in an optimized ratio. Retinal is a form of vitamin A that sits close to the active end of the retinoid spectrum, allowing it to penetrate efficiently and support wrinkle improvement and firmness. Paired with caffeine, known for boosting circulation and delivering potent antioxidant benefits, this dual-functional formula targets both wrinkles and brightening to revitalize the complexion. 1% panthenol delivers moisture deep into the dermal layer, addressing hydration and barrier reinforcement in one step.

Anti-aging efficacy confirmed through 4-week clinical testing

In a human application test conducted on 22 participants after 4 weeks of use, the following results were observed.

• 7.78% reduction in wrinkles
• 40.88% improvement in surface hydration
• 10.43% improvement in skin density
• 7.11% improvement in lifting
• 21.28% reduction in pore area, 23.13% reduction in pore volume, 17.32% reduction in pore count, 12.12% reduction in pore depth

The formula scored 0.00 in a primary skin irritation test, confirming its gentle nature, and has completed non-comedogenic testing, making it safe for acne-prone skin.

A smart choice for retinal newcomers and skin in need of firming support

If you're new to retinal, we recommend starting with a small amount every other evening and allowing a 2-week adjustment period. The specialized airless pump packaging shields retinal from light and oxygen, preserving formula stability. Ideal for those noticing the first signs of fine lines, anyone looking to address firmness and pores simultaneously, or those seeking a gentle retinal cream. Certified vegan by the Korea Agency of Vegan Certification and Services, this cream is best used in your evening routine. If applying in the morning, always follow with sunscreen.

Final step in your evening routine: seal it all in with cream

Cafetinal Cream is a moisturizer designed to be used as the last step in your routine, after toner, essence, and serum have fully absorbed. Formulated with retinal, it locks in all the skincare you've layered underneath while targeting firmness and elasticity.

Best used in the evening

Retinal is sensitive to light and heat, so it's most effective when used at night. If you do apply it in the morning, always follow with sunscreen.

Start slow if you're new to retinal

If this is your first time using retinal, your skin will need time to adjust. For the first two weeks, use only a small amount — about 2mm — and apply it every other night to areas of concern. Once your skin has adapted, you can use it daily all over your face. The cream has a bouncy, cushiony texture that pumps out firm and spreads easily, so a little goes a long way.

Pair with serums based on your skin goals

If you're focused on firmness and fine lines, layer a collagen serum underneath before finishing with this cream. For dehydration and barrier support, combine it with a hydrating ampoule for added synergy. You can also mix a drop or two of serum directly into the cream before applying.

Important notes when using retinal

During the adjustment period, you may experience temporary redness, flaking, or tingling — this is a natural part of the skin's renewal process. If this happens, layer a soothing or hydrating cream on top. Avoid using the following products at the same time:
- Scrubs, peels, or other exfoliating treatments
- High-concentration AHA, BHA, or vitamin C products
- LED masks or other devices that may irritate the skin

Retinal has a naturally yellow tint that may transfer onto fabrics, so use with care. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a healthcare professional before use. The airless pump packaging protects the formula from oxidation, so you can use every last drop with confidence.
