Dr. Melaxin
I just hit 35 this year. For the past 3 years I have been searching for something to help get the upper layers of dry skin off of my face without resorting to a freaking sandblaster.I wash my skin twice a day, but had to cut back to once a day because we have hard water and despite having an expensive shower head with equally expensive filter replacements dryness always persisted. I would use gentle scrub sponges both in and out of the shower along with an oil based cleanser first and a water based cleanser second.Every time I would think I am really getting that upper level or two of dead skin cells off my face. I had even tried a moisturizing glycolic peel pad before I applied a very moisturizing face oil or moisturizer. Everything always felt right and soft and supple until I went to apply makeup. I don’t wear makeup all of the time but when I do it is minimal and the evidence of dead skin was still on my face. The little dry patches I would have bet a million dollars were gone every time were always there making my sking look blotchy and like I just had no idea how to apply foundation or tinted moisturizer or a mineral powder. Nothing freaking helped!Enter Dr. Melaxin…I don’t watch tick tock, I am not a die hard try all the new stuff cause everybody says it works type of woman. I did however know that my Korean body scrub mitt was pretty awesome and I saw a review that described this product the same way but WITHOUT the harshness on your face so why not give it a go? I was already so frustrated and this wasn’t to expensive so why the hell not.RESULT:As my skin ages I will adapt my products to what my skin needs always because its a vital organ. I can say however that Peel Shot is now a permanent part of my routine. I would use this even if I had no other cleansers for my face. It is gentle and it works like nothing else I have ever used. The resurfacing I get is mind blowing to me. I wish I could give this 20 stars. I really do. I can’t even describe how amazing it feels and how well moisturizer, primer, face oil, etc. absorb after using this stuff.Peel Shot is gentle enough to use everyday on face and body, but I use it for my face mostly. TIP: Make sure to get a good amount, like a quarter size in your hand and really rub it in. You will know you are doing it correctly when you see white peels of dead skin cells roll up under your fingers on your face. It may sound odd, like you are scrubbing too much off but I promise you that your are not! Your face always has waaaayyy more dead skin than you think and this is so gentle it is phenomenal!!!UPDATEI wanted to come back and give an update on my review because this product honestly deserves it.I just turned 35 this year, and for the past 3 years I’ve been trying everything to deal with the dry, flaky layer on my face—without feeling like I needed a literal sandblaster to get results.I’ve always taken care of my skin. I was washing twice a day, but had to cut back to once daily because of hard water issues. Even with an expensive filtered shower head, the dryness never fully went away. I tried gentle exfoliating sponges, double cleansing (oil-based first, then water-based), and even glycolic peel pads followed by rich moisturizers and face oils.Every single time, my skin would feel soft and smooth… until I applied makeup.That’s when reality hit. Those stubborn dry patches were STILL there. My makeup would look uneven and blotchy, like I didn’t know what I was doing—even though I kept my routine minimal and careful. It was honestly frustrating beyond words.Then I found this.I’m not someone who jumps on trends or buys products just because they’re hyped online. But I had used a Korean exfoliating mitt before and loved the concept, so when I saw something similar designed for the face—but gentler—I figured, why not? At that point, I had nothing to lose.And wow… I’m so glad I tried it.This has completely changed my skincare routine. The difference in how my skin feels—and more importantly, how it looks—is unbelievable. It gently removes that top layer of dead skin in a way nothing else ever has for me. My skin feels smooth, refreshed, and actually prepped to absorb everything I put on afterward.Moisturizer, primer, face oil—everything goes on better. Makeup finally looks the way it’s supposed to.This is now a permanent staple for me. No question.Tip: Use a generous amount (about a quarter-sized) and really work it into your skin. You’ll start to see the dead skin roll up under your fingers. It might feel strange at first, but don’t worry—it’s incredibly gentle, and your skin will feel amazing afterward.If I could give this more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This is hands down one of the best skincare products I’ve ever used.

What is this magic?
What is this magic? Like most people, I wasn’t convinced that these little grey balls on my skin were purely dead skin. Well, I asked Gemini, and they aren’t, mostly. In reality, the little balls are a part of the exfoliating mechanism; the others are chemical exfoliators like BHA, which is oil-soluble and can very quickly release oil from pores. The PHA breaks down the bonds between dead skin cells. The little balls are cellulose that react with the air and then ball up. However, their job is to pick up the oil and dead skin that the BHA, AHA, and, mainly, PHA has just loosened. So maybe 90% of the ball is cellulose, and the other 10% is dead skin/sebum. Who knows? Regardless, they aren’t trying to trick you. The little balls serve a purpose much greater than your own personal satisfaction that comes from seeing dead skin come off your face. Oh, and if you see blue in the little balls, that is a pigment found in black rice that is similar to the pigment in blueberries; you don’t have blue dirt in your skin. If you still find it hard to believe, I’ve tested it several times on skin that naturally has closed pores and very little oil production, like the tops of my hands. I find that many more little dirt balls roll off in areas like my T-zone, and much less in places where I’m not producing as much oil, like my cheeks, and virtually none roll off on the tops of my hands. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, all I can say is WOW! After one use, there is a very noticeable difference in my skin texture. Freckles on my forehead all of a sudden faded, and my décolletage, where I have a lot of sun damage, evened out a bit. It’s wild because the substance is only on your skin for a short period of time. At first, it looks and feels like you are polishing your face, which is not the case. My skin is much smoother, and I can see that it’s cleaner. It reminded me of the texture of my skin when I was a kid, before pores or sebum were even a thing. Perhaps what I’m seeing there is the pore-tightening aspects of the formula at work. Anyway, this is well worth the money. Just don’t overdo it the first time! Remember, those little balls are mostly cellulose, not your skin. After using it, my active skin care penetrates much better. Over-the-counter skin care has advanced so much in the past five years, and this is a perfect example of that! An excellent product that actually does what it says it will!Update: I figured out that the freckles that were fading were actually solar lentigo (sun spots, age spots). Apparently, these acids can fade them. I had this happen with retinol once. I thought I had a retinol burn, but later realized it was actually a large solar lentigo peeling off my face over a few weeks’ time. Crazy!Update: I’ve been using this weekly all over my face, very carefully avoiding my eyes, and I am still blown away every time I use it. It is the most effective skincare product I’ve ever used. I had a facial scheduled and actually cancelled it because I didn’t see the point of going. This stuff makes my skin look better than any facial could. As we get older, I think we greatly underestimate how slowly our skin turns over, and we just get used to the way it looks. Underneath all the buildup, there is a new skin. It’s actually shocking when you see it for the first time. I will be forever in awe of this product. It’s magic, every time.

Amazing pores cleaner

I’ve been using this for about a week now, and I’m really impressed with how gentle yet effective it is.The texture is smooth and easy to apply, and it works well as a mild exfoliator without feeling harsh or abrasive on the skin. After using it, my skin feels softer, smoother, and looks noticeably brighter. It does a good job of lifting away dead skin, especially around areas where I tend to get dryness or clogged pores.I’ve also found it gentle enough to use regularly without any irritation, which is important as my skin can be sensitive to stronger scrubs. A little goes a long way, and it rinses off easily without leaving any residue.
