Hey KAINEES!
As we wrap up the year, we’re celebrating the skincare heroes that earned your loyalty, your praise, and most importantly, your trust. These aren’t just top-sellers, they’re the products that consistently delivered calm, visible results and real comfort to real skin, through every season of 2025.
Let’s take a look at your favorite 3 KAINE products of the year, plus a few kind words from our KAINE community we’ll never forget.
1. Kombu Balancing Ampoule Toner
Your skin’s reset button
More than just a toner, this multitasking prep step became a holy grail for sensitive, acne-prone, and rosacea-prone skin. With its ampoule-like texture and ultra-gentle formula, it’s praised for:
- Balancing pH after cleansing
- Helping prescription creams absorb better and faster
- Healing hormonal breakouts and reducing irritation
- Providing a cooling, dewy finish without any scent
💬 What you said:
"My forever toner."
"More viscous but extremely thin and spreadable."
"Faded my hyperpigmentation fast!"
"I can use less prescription cream when I use this first."
2. Kombu Hydrating Daily Cleanser
Cleanse + hydrate = your skin’s happy place
A gentle gel-to-foam cleanser that does more than just clean. Loved for its hydrating feel and luxurious jelly texture, this product was a daily must-have for dry, aging, and sensitive skin types.
You loved that it:
- Cleanses without tightness or dryness
- Feels like a spa facial in your own bathroom
- Travels well and never irritates your skin, even during long trips
- Performs like a luxury cleanser at a surprising price point
💬 What you said:
"Cleans and hydrates, most cleansers only do one."
"A little goes a long way."
"For someone who spent $88 on a cleanser… this is amazing."
3. Caffetinal Cream
For skincare veterans who want results, without the harshness
With 300ppm retinal + 2% caffeine, this high-performance night cream impressed those who understand their actives. You trusted Caffetinal not for instant miracles, but for the way it helped your skin progress gently and visibly.
Fans reported:
- Initial purging that led to smoother, more even skin
- Help with melasma, dark spots, and texture
- Ideal for mature, dry, or retinal-experienced skin
- Creamy, night-appropriate texture that feels nourishing, not greasy
💬 What you said:
"Please follow the instructions. Purging is normal and worth it."
"Too heavy for daytime, perfect at night."
"Luxury-level performance at a great price."
"You can actually tell there are actives in this."
What You Taught Us in 2025
What stood out most this year wasn’t just what products you loved, but how you used them.
You reached for KAINE when your skin was tired, sensitive, or overwhelmed. You appreciated formulas that were gentle yet effective, especially during vulnerable skin moments. And you spoke honestly, about purging, about learning to use retinal, and about the value of slow, steady progress.
💬 What you told us:
"KAINE doesn’t rush your skin. It supports it—gently, consistently, and in a way that truly lasts."
"This feels like something my skin can actually live with long-term."
Where We’re Headed Next
As we move into 2026, our purpose evolves — our principles do not.
We began with vegan cosmetics.
We continue with a vegan way of living.
Because beauty is not a product — it’s a mindset.
No trends.
Only ingredients that work in harmony with your skin.
Actives that are effective, never excessive.
Choices that support a conscious, plant-forward life.
This is more than skincare.
It’s a lifestyle.
A shift in attitude.
A quieter, more intentional way to live.
💛 Thank You, KAINEES!

With love,
KAINE
