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 testInspired by the centuries-old wisdom of Korean monks, the Melixir Vegan Relief Facial Moisturizer is a lightweight, plant-based cream that brings balance and nourishment to skin. Infused with organic green tea extract and black cumin seed oil, this moisturizer hydrates, replenishes, and soothes the skin, helping to smooth and refine texture. Patented Aczero, an anti-acne agent, reduces excess sebum, while centella asiatica leaf extract calms irritation and promotes even skin tone. It provides rich hydration without feeling greasy, leaving your complexion refreshed, balanced, and glowing.
Vegan Relief Facial Moisturizer is a lightweight cream from Melixir. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 38 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. It contains both silicones and oils, a combination that usually finishes smooth and slightly satin and sits well under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Propanediol and Diglycerin, 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, Propanediol, Diglycerin and Ethylhexylglycerin.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Tocopherol.
Antioxidant support: Moderate. Ingredients that mop up free radicals from UV and pollution, and here that comes from Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Tocopherol.
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 barrier support, oil control, brightening and tone and 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 no drying alcohol, paraben-free, sulfate-free, dye-free and no animal-derived ingredients. 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.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
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.
