Dr.Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating Kojic Acid Turmeric Serum is a rinse-off facial exfoliator with a gommage-style peeling effect, designed to remove dead skin cells, smooth uneven texture, and improve the appearance of dull-looking skin. Its formula combines kojic acid, turmeric root extract, AHA and PHA exfoliating acids, niacinamide, and moisturizing ingredients to promote a softer, smoother, and more radiant-looking complexion.
The product features a distinctive texture that forms small particles during gentle massage, helping lift away surface impurities and buildup.
Despite being called a serum, it is a rinse-off exfoliating treatment, not a conventional leave-on facial serum.
The formula also contains squalane, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and glycerin to complement its exfoliating properties with moisturizing and skin-conditioning benefits.
What Makes Dr.Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating Kojic Acid Turmeric Serum Special?
AHA and PHA for Smoother Skin Texture
Glycolic acid and citric acid belong to the AHA family, while gluconolactone is a PHA.
These ingredients are used in skincare to help remove dead skin cells and improve the appearance of rough, uneven texture.
Kojic Acid for Uneven Skin Tone
Kojic acid is commonly found in cosmetic formulas targeting the appearance of dark spots and uneven pigmentation.
It complements the exfoliating properties of the formula and supports a more even-looking complexion. Results depend on ingredient concentration, formulation, and frequency of use.
Turmeric for Antioxidant Skincare
Turmeric Root Extract (Curcuma Longa Root Extract) contains botanical compounds with antioxidant properties and complements skincare for dull-looking skin.
Niacinamide for Radiance
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and dullness while supporting the skin’s natural protective barrier.
Gommage-Style Peeling Effect
Cellulose and the formula’s texturizing ingredients form visible particles during massage.
These help lift away surface buildup and impurities. The particles are partly formed by the product itself and should not be interpreted as exclusively dead skin cells.
