About Cactox Pore Relief Jelly Serum Mist

Overview

Cactox Pore Relief Jelly Serum Mist is a lightweight mist from Dr.Melaxin. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 90 ingredients, each broken down in full below.

Texture and finish

By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. The oils in it point to a dewy, emollient finish rather than a matte one. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Methylpropanediol and Butylene Glycol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.

What the formula does

Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Propanediol, Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin.

Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Niacinamide, Adenosine and Lactobacillus Ferment.

Firmness signalling: Moderate. Peptides and growth factors that signal for collagen support, and here that comes from Adenosine, Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate.

Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Squalane and Panthenol.

Who it suits

On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.

What is not in it

Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.

Where it fits in a routine

Use it in the morning. In a routine it goes taken with food. Follow the dose on the pack and check interactions with anything you already take.

This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.

Safety and suitability

Flags to check, not verdicts. None of this is medical advice — if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or treating a skin condition, ask a doctor.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Contains Retinol, usually reviewed with a doctor during pregnancy.
Fungal acne (malassezia)
6 ingredients could feed malassezia: Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate, Lactobacillus Ferment, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Aluminum/magnesium Hydroxide Stearate, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Polysorbate 80. That is about the yeast's food supply, not a prediction that you will break out.
Sensitive and reactive skin
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
Recorded ingredient risks
