Fit by skin type
General, ingredient-based — not your personalized match.
See how this fits your skin
Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testReveal luminous, even-toned skin with Dr. Melaxin TX Ampoule RX, a multifunctional serum crafted to target freckles, dark spots, and dullness. Infused with 43,000 ppm of niacinamide and the clinically renowned Tranexamic Acid, this ampoule reduces melanin production to visibly brighten and smooth your complexion. Packed with hydrating ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid, it restores moisture, enhances elasticity, and promotes skin regeneration. The lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, leaving your skin refreshed, radiant, and rejuvenated.
TX Ampoule RX is a lightweight ampoule from Dr.Melaxin. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 40 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. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Glycerin, 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 Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Glycerin and Betaine.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Acetyl Glucosamine.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Allantoin, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Panthenol and Ectoin.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Panthenol, Lecithin and Butyrospermum Parkii Butter.
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.
The formula contributes little or nothing on cell renewal. 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 fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
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.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
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.
