FAQ

What is the Dr.Melaxin Cactox line and how does it shrink pores?

The Cactox line is built around prickly pear cactus essence (Opuntia ficus-indica), naturally rich in mucilage, polysaccharides and antioxidants that hydrate, balance sebum and visibly refine enlarged pores. Pores look bigger when they're stretched by excess sebum, dead skin and dehydration — Cactox addresses all three: cactus essence and amino acids deliver lightweight hydration, BHA-style actives gently clear pore congestion, and niacinamide regulates oil production. Used as a full routine (toner pad → serum → cream) over 4–8 weeks, pores visibly tighten and skin looks smoother.

How does the Calcium Bonding line firm skin?

Calcium is an essential mineral for skin barrier function and elasticity — it regulates keratinocyte differentiation and supports the structural proteins that keep skin firm. The Cemenrete Calcium Bonding line (Serum, Facial Cream, Eye Cream) delivers bioavailable calcium alongside peptides and elasticity-boosting actives. Used twice daily for 4–8 weeks, the line visibly tightens slackness, smooths fine lines and supports overall skin firmness. Especially useful for mature skin and skin showing first signs of loss of elasticity.

What is the Peel Shot Serum and how is it different from AHA/BHA serums?

The Peel Shot Exfoliating TX Serum and Cactox Exfoliating Peel Shot Serum are 'at-home peel' serums that combine multiple gentle exfoliating actives (AHA, BHA, PHA, tranexamic acid) in a single product. The multi-acid approach targets several concerns simultaneously — dullness, uneven texture, post-acne marks, congested pores — while the calming actives in the formula buffer irritation. Use 2–3 evenings per week initially, building up tolerance. Always pair with daily SPF50+ and a hydrating cream to support the barrier.

Can I use the Cactox Toner Pad and Peel Shot Serum on the same evening?

Yes — but layer carefully and watch for irritation. The Cactox Pore Relief Jelly Toner Pad is gentler and can be used daily; the Peel Shot Serum is a stronger treatment for 2–3 evenings per week. On peel nights: cleanse → Cactox toner pad (smooth side only, skip the exfoliating side) → wait 1 minute → Peel Shot Serum → hydrating cream. On non-peel nights: full toner pad routine (exfoliating + smooth side) → serum → cream. If skin gets red or tight, drop back to gentler steps.

Is Dr.Melaxin Rice Peel Set safe for sensitive skin?

The Rice Peel Ampoule Set uses fermented rice extracts and gentle exfoliating enzymes rather than harsh acids — designed to be safer for sensitive skin compared to standard glycolic or salicylic peels. The set typically includes a multi-step routine that delivers gradual brightening, smoothing and glass-skin-style glow over 1–2 weeks. As with any peel-style treatment, patch-test before use and avoid stacking with other strong actives (retinol, AHA, BHA) on the same evening. Skin should look smoother and brighter, not red or peeling.
