A cult-favorite seen in K-dramas, this versatile balm stick delivers targeted hydration, helps improve the look of fine lines, and creates an instant dewy glow.

Seeing the first signs of fine lines or feeling like your skin lacks that luminous bounce can be frustrating. This multi-balm is designed as a simple, targeted solution.

• Who it's for: Best suited for normal, dry, and mature skin types, or anyone seeking a luminous, "glass skin" finish.
• What it does: Provides an immediate dewy glow while delivering wrinkle-smoothing ingredients to areas like the neck, under-eyes, and smile lines.
• Texture & Scent: A solid balm that glides on smoothly and melts into the skin with a soft, pleasant floral fragrance.
• Heads-Up: Can feel oily or heavy on very oily skin types. Best used as a targeted treatment rather than an all-over moisturizer for those prone to congestion.

1. Cleanser — Start with a clean base.
2. [THIS PRODUCT] — After your serum/moisturizer, gently swipe the balm over areas needing extra care or glow (e.g., under eyes, neck, cheekbones).
3. Sunscreen (AM) — Always finish your morning routine by protecting your skin.

Note: If you already use a rich facial oil or occlusive cream, this can substitute that step on targeted areas. Use what you have first to prevent waste.

• Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Moisturizer → 3) [THIS PRODUCT] on high points/lines → 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: For a "glass skin" look, apply after sunscreen to cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and forehead for a dewy highlight.
• Wait times: Allow your main skincare layers to absorb for 1-2 minutes before applying the balm to reduce pilling.

• Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Double-Cleanse (to remove makeup/SPF) → 2) Moisturizer → 3) [THIS PRODUCT] as a final, targeted occlusive layer on dry areas or fine lines.
• For Intensive Care: After your full routine, apply a generous layer to the neck and around the lips before bed.
• Texture rule: This balm is an occlusive, oil-based product. Always apply it after your water-based serums and lotions.

Daily Use — AM/PM:

• Amount: A single swipe is enough for targeted areas. For a highlighting effect, dab gently with your finger after swiping onto the stick.
• Apply to: Neck lines, forehead, smile lines, under-eye area, or cheekbones. Can also be used on dry lips or cuticles.
• Method: Gently glide the stick directly onto the skin. Pat gently with fingertips to blend and aid absorption.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both morning and night, or as needed for moisture touch-ups.

If-This / Then-That:

• Very oily T-zone? Avoid applying the balm to this area; use it only on drier zones like cheeks and neck.
• Very dry/AC? Use it as the final step in your PM routine to seal in all your other skincare products.
• Under makeup? Apply a very thin layer and pat it in. Wait 2-3 minutes before applying foundation. Some users find it works best as a highlighter tapped on *over* makeup.

Makeup Tips (No Pilling): To prevent pilling, ensure your underlying skincare (serums, moisturizer) is fully absorbed. Apply the balm by patting instead of rubbing, especially when layering with or over makeup.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.

• Immediate: Skin appears instantly hydrated, dewy, and luminous. Dry patches feel soothed and moisturized.
• 2–4 weeks: Skin texture may feel smoother and more supple with daily use. The appearance of fine dehydration lines is often reduced.
• 4–8+ weeks: With consistent application, the functional ingredients like Adenosine and Salmon Collagen work to improve skin elasticity. The appearance of deeper lines on the neck and face may be visibly softened. (Brand test)

• Works Well With: Hydrating serums (Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin), Retinoids (can be applied over retinol creams at night to buffer and moisturize), and most moisturizers. It serves as an excellent final occlusive step.
• Use Carefully With: Mattifying primers or foundations. The balm's dewy finish can counteract their effect. Apply makeup strategically around or lightly over the balm.
• Avoid On: Do not apply before water-based serums, as its oily nature will block their absorption.

• Excellent for: Dry, Mature, Dehydrated skin.
• Good for: Normal skin seeking a dewy glow.
• Use with Caution: Combination skin (use only on dry areas). Oily and Acne-Prone skin (the rich, oily texture may feel heavy and could potentially clog pores; patch testing is highly recommended).

• Fine lines and wrinkles (especially on the neck, forehead, and around the eyes)
• Dry, chapped, or flaky skin
• Dullness and lack of radiance
• Loss of skin elasticity and firmness

• EU Allergens Declared: Benzyl Salicylate, Benzyl Benzoate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Hexyl Cinnamal, Hydroxycitronellal, Citronellol, Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone.

This product contains multiple fragrance allergens. A patch test is strongly advised for those with sensitive skin or fragrance allergies.

• Who should use with caution: Individuals with very oily, acne-prone, or congested skin should use this balm sparingly and only on targeted dry areas. Those with known allergies to fragrance components should avoid this product.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the balm to a discreet area, such as behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or breakouts. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use.
• For Teenagers: While gentle, this product is formulated for anti-aging concerns. Teens should focus on a basic routine of cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. This balm is not necessary unless advised for specific dry patches.

• Texture & Finish: A solid, silky balm in a twist-up stick. It glides smoothly onto the skin and leaves a visible dewy, luminous, and moisturizing film. It can feel oily and takes time to fully absorb.
• Scent: A light and pleasant floral fragrance.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Not FA-safe. Contains multiple oils and esters, such as Sunflower Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil, which can be triggers for Malassezia folliculitis.
• Comedogenicity: Contains ingredients like Shea Butter and Candelilla Wax which have low comedogenic ratings, but the overall formula is highly occlusive and oily. Individual responses will vary, and it may clog pores in susceptible individuals.

• Issue: It feels too greasy or sticky.
  Quick Fix: You may be applying too much. Use a single, light swipe. You can also dab the stick with a clean finger and then pat the product onto your skin for a more controlled application. Reserve for nighttime use if it's too heavy for the day.
• Issue: My makeup is pilling or sliding off.
  Quick Fix: Ensure all previous skincare layers are fully absorbed (wait 2-3 minutes). Try applying the balm *over* your makeup as a final highlighter touch, patting gently instead of swiping.
• Issue: It's causing small bumps or breakouts.
  Quick Fix: The rich, occlusive formula may be too heavy for your skin type. Discontinue use on breakout-prone areas. Limit its application to very dry zones like the neck, lips, or cuticles.

• Humid Summer: The balm's rich texture can feel heavy in Mauritius's high humidity. During summer, it's best used at night, especially in air-conditioned rooms, or as a targeted highlighter on cheekbones for a glowy look, rather than on large areas.
• Drier Winter/AC Environments: This balm is excellent for the cooler, drier winter months or for anyone who spends significant time in air conditioning, which can dehydrate the skin. It provides a protective barrier against moisture loss.

• Our Sourcing: At Adilsons, we source all our products directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
• Packaging Cues: Look for the official Kahi branding, high-quality twist-up stick mechanism, and a mix of Korean and English text. Ensure the batch code and expiration date are clearly printed.
• Need Help? If you have any doubts about your product's authenticity, contact us on WhatsApp with photos, and we'll be happy to assist.

• Wrinkle Improvement: KAHI states the balm is proven to improve wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, lips, and neck through clinical tests. The functional ingredient is Adenosine, which is recognized by the MFDS for its anti-wrinkle properties. (Brand test)
• Ingredient Rationale: The formula's benefits are primarily based on the known properties of its ingredients. Salmon-derived collagen and PDRN are known to support skin elasticity, Jeju Fermented Oil is a potent moisturizer, and Filmexel provides a protective film. These are based on ingredient-level research and brand-specific technology claims.

*Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.

This product is not suitable for vegans as it contains ingredients derived from salmon. The brand has indicated that the PDRN (Sodium DNA) is sourced from salmon as a byproduct of the food industry, which aims to minimize waste.

• Size: 9g
• Estimated Uses: A little goes a long way. If used daily on targeted areas (e.g., neck and under-eyes), the balm can last approximately 2-4 months. If used more frequently as a highlighter or lip balm, expect a reorder cadence of 1-2 months.
• Reorder Cue: When the stick is nearly flat and difficult to apply, it's time to reorder.

• [THIS PRODUCT] Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm — For a targeted moisture boost and a healthy glow.

• Beauty of Joseon REVIVE EYE SERUM : GINSENG + RETINAL 30ML — A potent yet gentle retinal treatment to apply to wrinkle-prone areas before the balm.
• [THIS PRODUCT] Kahi Wrinkle Bounce Multi Balm — Applied as the final step to seal in moisture and provide extra nourishment overnight.

This balm is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are dryness, fine lines, and achieving a dewy, "glass skin" glow with a convenient, on-the-go product.

• FOR A MORE POTENT WRINKLE TREATMENT: SOME BY MI RETINOL INTENSE ADVANCED TRIPLE ACTION EYE CREAM 30ML
  Choose this if: Your main goal is targeting established fine lines and wrinkles.
  Why: It contains Retinol and Retinal, powerful ingredients proven to boost collagen and improve wrinkles, offering a stronger treatment focus than the balm.

• FOR A LIGHTER, ALL-OVER TEXTURE: COSRX ADVANCED SNAIL 92 ALL IN ONE CREAM 100G
  Choose this if: You love the idea of repair and hydration but prefer a non-oily, gel-cream texture for your entire face.
  Why: Snail mucin provides excellent repair and hydration benefits in a unique, lightweight formula that's more suitable for combination or less dry skin types.

• FOR SENSITIVE, IRRITATED SKIN: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA SOOTHING CREAM 75ML
  Choose this if: Your skin is easily irritated or prone to redness.
  Why: It focuses on calming and soothing with a high concentration of Centella Asiatica, making it ideal for strengthening a compromised skin barrier without the heavy, occlusive feel of a balm.

Mindful-use: If you already have a facial oil or a rich cream that you enjoy, finish it first. This balm is a unique format, but its core function of providing occlusive moisture can be filled by other products you may already own.

• Format: A 9g solid balm in a retractable plastic stick. Very hygienic as the product is not exposed to air or fingers.
• Travel: Exceptionally travel-friendly. Its solid format means no risk of leaks, and its compact size is perfect for carrying in a purse for touch-ups.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In the Mauritian heat, avoid leaving it in a hot car, as the balm may soften or melt.
• Recycling: The outer tube is plastic. Please check with local Mauritian recycling guidelines for proper disposal.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle.

• Great for Dry Under-Eyes: A user on Reddit with sensitive, combination skin praised it for use under the eyes, noting, "concealer goes on top smoothly, even better than with my previous eye cream... And the best part IT DOESN'T STING MY EYES." — Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024)

Can I use the Kahi balm all over my face?

If you have dry or mature skin, you can. However, for most skin types, it's best used as a targeted treatment for specific areas like the neck, under-eyes, or as a highlighter on cheekbones to avoid a heavy, greasy feeling.

Is this product sanitary?

Yes, the stick format is very hygienic. To maintain cleanliness, you can wipe the top of the balm with a clean, dry tissue after use, especially if you've applied it over makeup.

Why does it contain salmon ingredients?

Salmon-derived PDRN and collagen are rich in components that are beneficial for skin elasticity and repair. They are popular in Korean "dermocosmetics" for their anti-aging properties.

Will this replace my eye cream?

It can. Many users find it's an excellent, moisturizing alternative to traditional eye cream and appreciate the convenient application. If you use a specific active-heavy eye cream (like one with retinol), you can apply the balm over it at night for extra moisture.
