Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testExperience the ultimate cleanse with Dr. Melaxin Melting Cleanser, a daily foam cleanser that effortlessly removes makeup and impurities in one step. Powered by an innovative Makeup Melting System, its micellar water bubbles burst on contact to dissolve stubborn impurities in the skin. This oil-free formula deeply cleanses pores while soothing and hydrating the skin with Calamine and Niacinamide, leaving your complexion balanced and refreshed. Perfect for all skin types, including sensitive skin, this gentle yet effective cleanser combines advanced skincare technology with soothing botanical extracts like Aloe, Centella, and Green Tea for a truly revitalizing cleansing experience.
Melting Cleanser is a lightweight foam cleanser from Dr.Melaxin. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 34 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Propanediol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily 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.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and brightening and tone. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes first step. Use on damp skin and rinse thoroughly. Follow with a toner or essence while skin is still slightly damp.
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.
