This video is part of a series in which I trial a brand or theme's skincare products for a minimum of two weeks; afterward, I give a review of each product based on my experience, the ingredients, and the cost. I film these bare faced (with the skincare discussed applied) for transparency. These videos are made to share my own experience and general thoughts. For YOUR routine, I always recommend visiting your dermatologist!

I love that you're so honest about the complexities of ingredients. There really are so many different variables!

[nickylapiel]

I find the sweater and headband really becoming on you. ❤ You're one of the Youtuber influencers I watch that really bring in-depth and well-thought-out reviews and I truly enjoy listening and watching your vids. Very refreshing cause you don't "always" LOVE ALL products and neither are they all "life-changing" 😂

[celiareed]

I would definitely try the Kaine because it doesn’t have fragrance. Haven’t used toners in a while but this one intrigues me. ❤

[estellawong]

Hi Alice, thanks for the Kaine toner recommendation. I was tempted to buy but after the ingredients which excludes fragrance, I am sold... 😂

[rhondabeaux]

This was so great. I love how you did the test! As always your deep dive into formulation/ingredients is educational/outstanding!. I have been using the Kaine Kombucha for about 9 months or so. (I pronounce it Cane also..like the Cane River in La!) I now know how to pronounce it. The reason I even tried it was an affordable alternative to the Dr, Ceuracle Kombucha. I love both!

Another great video. Have you ever considered doing a full review on Kaine? But also secretly hoping for a ranking video on specialized ingredients (like every product with galactomyces or kombucha). Guess you can tell I will be a forever subscriber 😉

I love my Kaine Kombucha Ampule Toner, I have recently opened my third bottle. I feel like my mature skin/rosacea has tolerated the Kaine well and it feels soothing when my skin is inflamed. I have noticed an improved luminosity, but I use the Kaine with other products, so I cannot say it is the only reason. I have recently begun to use it as a sheet mask and this makes me want to continue.

First of all, you're absolutely beautiful. I was a huge fan of the fresh kombucha, but I started buying and trying a lot of other toners and ampoules after finding your channel! Love watching your videos!! ❤

I DO agree that the source of the tea and specific processes used in brewing are just as important as a favorite brand of root beer. You can taste the difference. I want to try some reusable silicone masks and get creative with the areas in the face. I am always trying to subtract extra waste that goes in the garbage. This was an interesting comparison and bonus discovery of masks. ✨

Okay, I was not ready for a Bush's beans reference in this video.😂 I had to pause to laugh when you said "roll that beautiful yeast footage."😆

[vanessadionne]

Is it just me or is the Kaine side brighter?!😮 #gokoreanskincare

[reesea]

Just got that kaine toner and can’t wait to try it !!

[damariesblondonville]

Excellent video. Thanks . I am a long time user of the Fresh product but you gave me great perspective.

[Omg_sade]

Was waiting for this since your last video😆😆😆

[Nanoscot]

Been using Kaine with haru haru rice toner it's been a game changer my skin is great love it

[JessieLee_]

Wow I love the results and the hard work you put into this video. I already have the Kaine and I honestly would’ve pronounced it same if I didn’t fine this video…so thank you :) I haven’t started using it yet, but I’m so excited to start using ❤

[melindagenitempo]

This was cool Alice live the comparisons and the product challenges

[tzoe]

Great comparison video! I searched all of your videos to see if you have the same dupe or something similar for the AMOREPACIFIC essence. My skin loves the stuff!

[angelashaked]

Am I the only one who thinks the Kaine side looks better?😮

[elacampusano]

Another very exciting video. I was thinking in terms of results which kombucha is better, Kaine's or Dr. Ceuracle's? Thank you Alice. Many kisses from Chile ❤
