Dr. Melaxin

Dr. Melaxin is a Korean skincare brand best known for its calcium-themed formulas and its playful, construction-inspired product names. It is also the brand that started Melaxin.ca: for years, readers came here looking for information on Peel Shot and the multi balm sticks, and those products remain at the heart of this guide. Today we cover Dr. Melaxin as an independent editor, alongside the wider world of K-Beauty. For a full introduction, read What is Dr. Melaxin?.

What Dr. Melaxin is known for

The brand builds its line-up around a few signature formats rather than a sprawling catalogue. Each one is designed for a specific step, which makes the range easy to slot into an existing routine.

• Peel Shot: exfoliating ampoules offered in two versions. The White Rice formula is positioned for smoothness and a brighter-looking finish, while the Black Rice formula is positioned as a revitalizing option.
• Cemenrete Calcium Multi Balm: a compact balm stick designed to be swiped over areas that feel dry or look tired, handy for touch-ups during the day.
• Calcium CX Volume Multi Balm: a second balm stick in the calcium family, focused on a plumper, more cushioned look and feel.
• Eyephalt: an eye cream made for the delicate under-eye area, designed to help it look smoother and more rested.
• TX Cream: a face cream in the brand line-up. Ingredient details can vary by batch and market, so check the current label before buying.

Key ingredients

• Calcium-based ingredients, the common thread across the Cemenrete and Calcium CX balms
• Rice-derived ingredients in the Peel Shot ampoules (white rice and black rice versions)
• Moisturizing and conditioning agents that give the balm sticks their slip and comfort
• Always confirm the full ingredient list on the packaging, as formulas can change over time

Who it suits

Dr. Melaxin tends to appeal to people who want a few targeted, easy-to-use products. The balm sticks suit skin that feels dry or lacks bounce, and they are popular with those who focus on the look of fine lines. Peel Shot is aimed at texture and dullness. If your skin is reactive, introduce an exfoliating product slowly and patch test first.

How to fit Dr. Melaxin into your routine

Use Peel Shot as an occasional exfoliating step after cleansing, following the directions on the box, then continue with your usual serum and moisturizer. Apply Eyephalt with a light tap around the eye area. The balm sticks work last, over moisturizer, or on their own during the day. In the morning, finish with sunscreen, especially on days after exfoliation. Our routine builder can help you place each step. Comparing the two peels? See Peel Shot White Rice vs Black Rice.

Melaxin.ca no longer sells products directly. We now point readers to retailers so they can compare current price and availability themselves. When shopping, buy from a reputable retailer, read the seller details carefully, and compare the packaging and ingredient list with what the brand publishes.
