Product details

Dr.Melaxin Cactox Exfoliating Peel Shot Serum is a gentle, dual-action exfoliating ampoule that combines AHA, BHA and PHA with cactus extract, peptides and rice-derived hydrators to clear pores, smooth texture and boost radiance.

This lightweight serum is formulated to dissolve dead skin cells and loosen blackheads while delivering hydration from rice bran water and PENTAVITIN. By pairing chemical exfoliants with niacinamide and skin-conditioning rice extracts, it aims to refine pores, improve surface texture and leave skin soft and luminous without aggressive scrubbing.

How does this serum remove blackheads and unclog pores?

The formula uses a layered exfoliation approach: BHA penetrates into pores to dissolve excess sebum, while AHA and PHA work on the skin surface to lift away dead cells. This combination helps clear the plug material that forms blackheads and reduces the appearance of congested pores over continued use.

  • BHA targets oil inside pores for deeper cleansing
  • AHA sloughs surface dead skin to reveal fresher cells
  • PHA provides gentle exfoliation suited for sensitive skin
  • Peptides support skin texture for smoother-looking skin

Will it dry out or hydrate my skin while exfoliating?

Hydration is built into the ampoule: rice bran water supplies nutrients and humectant PENTAVITIN holds moisture within the skin barrier. Niacinamide and rice extracts further soothe and maintain balanced hydration so the skin feels plump rather than stripped.

  • Rice bran water gives long-lasting moisture and nutrients
  • PENTAVITIN attracts and retains skin moisture all day
  • Niacinamide supports barrier function and smoothness
  • Formulation avoids harsh surfactants that can over-dry

How should I use the Cactox Peel Shot Serum in my routine?

Apply after cleansing and toning, once or twice weekly to start, then adjust frequency according to tolerance and skin response. Follow with a lightweight moisturizer; on daytime use, always finish with broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect newly revealed skin.

  • Use on clean, dry skin for best penetration
  • Begin with 1x per week, increase gradually as tolerated
  • Layer moisturizer after serum to lock in hydration
  • Apply SPF during the day to protect renewed skin

What skin concerns does this serum target most effectively?

This ampoule focuses on pore refinement, surface texture, and mild discoloration from congestion, using exfoliants and brightening actives to improve overall clarity. It is balanced to support hydration so it can be used by a wide range of skin types seeking clearer, smoother skin.

  • Reduces blackheads and clogged pores
  • Improves rough texture and uneven surface
  • Brightens and refines tone with niacinamide and rice extract
  • Provides hydration while exfoliating

Who is this for: Dr.Melaxin Cactox Exfoliating Peel Shot Serum is suited for people with combination to oily skin, anyone dealing with blackheads or congested pores, and those who want a gentle but effective chemical exfoliant that also hydrates. If you have very sensitive or actively compromised skin, patch-test first or consult a skincare professional before incorporating stronger exfoliants into your routine.
