Questions, answered
What does the KAHI Extin C Balm do?
It's a vitamin C balm stick that helps dull, uneven-looking skin look brighter and fresher. Salmon collagen and fermented Jeju botanicals keep skin feeling soft and moisturised at the same time.
What kind of vitamin C is in it?
Pure vitamin C, listed as ascorbic acid. It's the first ingredient on the list, so it's the largest single ingredient in the balm. Niacinamide (vitamin B3) is in there too.
Can I use it with retinol?
KAHI recommends not using the Extin C Balm alongside products that contain vitamin A, such as retinol or retinal. If retinol is part of your routine, ask your pharmacist or skin professional how to fit both in.
Do I need to wear sunscreen with it?
Yes. Apply sunscreen during the day when you use the Extin C Balm, as KAHI advises. The balm itself makes no sun-protection claim.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
Pure vitamin C and added fragrance can be too much for very reactive skin, so patch test on your inner wrist first. Keep it away from the eyes themselves.
Where can I use it?
On the face, neck and hands, all over or just on areas that look dull or uneven. Apply evenly for an even-looking result.
Is the KAHI Extin C Balm vegan?
No. It contains salmon-derived collagen, PDRN (sodium DNA) and proteoglycan, so it isn't vegan. KAHI doesn't test on animals and is cruelty-free.
Can I use it during pregnancy?
It hasn't been tested during pregnancy, so please ask your GP or midwife before using it while pregnant or breastfeeding. The full ingredient list is below.
