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 visibly smoother, brighter skin with the Dr.Melaxin TX Peeling Toner, a gentle yet effective exfoliating toner designed to refine texture, minimize the look of pores, and boost radiance. Formulated with a powerful blend of PHA (Polyhydroxy Acids) and TXA (Tranexamic Acid), this toner works to slough off dead skin cells while targeting dark spots, discoloration, and uneven skin tone. Unlike harsh peels, this mild formulation is suitable even for sensitive skin, delivering a radiant glow without irritation. Infused with hydrating and calming ingredients like Panthenol, Allantoin, and Glycerin, it keeps your skin comfortably moisturized and soothed throughout the exfoliation process.
TX Peeling Toner is a lightweight toner from Dr.Melaxin. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 43 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 Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Methylpropanediol, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Betaine.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Allantoin, Panthenol, Niacinamide and Adenosine.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Gluconolactone.
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 antioxidant protection and firmness signalling. 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, silicone-free and microplastic-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 cleansing, before serums. Apply to slightly damp skin so the humectants have water to hold on to.
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.
