# Dr. Melaxin Cactox Pore Relief Dual Capsule Cream 65g Dr Melaxin Cactox Pore Relief Dual Capsule Cream 65g, an authentic Korean-market cream sourced for the Korean market. - Brand: Dr. Melaxin - Product: Cactox Pore Relief Dual Capsule Cream 65g - Price: $75.00 - Availability: In stock - Size: 65 g - Market: Korean market, the version sold in Korea - Made in: Republic of Korea - Category: Moisturizers ## Key benefits - Built around Glycerin and Niacinamide - Carries Butylene Glycol for supporting texture and feel - Formulated as a cream for its specific place in a layered routine - Sourced as the authentic Korean-market formula, not a US reformulation - Intact Korean-market barcode and batch code on every unit ## How it works The formula is built around Glycerin, which sits high enough on the ingredient list to carry real weight rather than trace amounts. Niacinamide works alongside it, and together they are what Dr Melaxin is pointing at when the line is marketed for this routine step. Butylene Glycol rounds out the supporting cast, filling in texture and feel rather than acting as a headline ingredient. As a cream, it is meant to sit at its specific point in a layered Korean routine rather than replace the steps around it. Dr Melaxin sources this as the same Korean-market formula sold in Korea, not a separate US-facing version. ## How to use 1. Use it by smoothing it over the face as the last step of the routine, working it into the skin in the position this cream occupies in a full routine, and following up with the next step once it has settled. ## Ingredients Water (Aqua), Glycerin, Propanediol, Niacinamide, 1,2-Hexanediol, Butylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Glycereth-26, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Hydrogenated Poly(C6-14 Olefin), Diisostearyl Malate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Olivate, Vinyl Dimethicone, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, C12-14 Alketh-12, Sorbitan Olivate, Fragrance, Glyceryl Stearate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Ethylhexylglycerin, Polyacrylate-13, Adenosine, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Disodium EDTA, Lactobacillus Ferment, Chromium Oxide Greens (CI 77288), Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Tocopherol, Sorbitan Isostearate, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Fruit Extract (30ppm), Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower Extract (30ppm), Iron Oxides (CI 77492), Iron Oxides (CI 77491), Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract (5ppm), Panthenol, Betaine, Allantoin, Actinidia Chinensis (Kiwi) Fruit Water, Sodium DNA, Malus Domestica Fruit Extract, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Brassica Oleracea Acephala Leaf Extract, Beta Vulgaris (Beet) Root Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Soluble Collagen, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate ## FAQ ### What does Glycerin do in this formula? Glycerin is one of the best-studied humectants in cosmetic chemistry, drawing moisture to the skin's surface and helping the formula feel comfortable rather than tight after it sets. It sits toward the front of the ingredient list on this product, which is a reasonable signal of how central it is to the formula. Pairing it with the rest of the ingredient list is what gives this cream its particular feel and finish. ### Where does this fit in a routine? As a cream, this is meant to be used at the point in a layered Korean routine where that step normally sits, applied by smoothing it over the face as the last step of the routine. Using it out of order will not make it harmful, but it may change how well the following step absorbs. Consistency in where it sits in the routine matters more than the exact minute-by-minute order. ### Is this the same formula sold in Korea? Yes. Dr Melaxin products sold through Korean Pharmacy are sourced as the authentic Korean-market formula, the same version stocked on shelf in Korea, rather than a separate US-facing reformulation many US retailers carry instead. Packaging carries the intact Korean-market barcode and batch code as part of that sourcing. This is the specific gap Dr Melaxin shoppers in the US have been left with since Korean import channels tightened. ### How long will one unit last? How long a cream lasts depends entirely on how much is used per application and how often it is applied, so there is no single number that fits every routine. A smaller, daily-use amount will stretch the unit further than a heavier, occasional application. Checking the fill amount against your own usual per-use amount is the most reliable way to estimate it for your own routine. ### Can this be layered with other actives? Glycerin on this ingredient list is not flagged as one that requires special spacing from common actives, so it generally layers into a routine without extra precautions. As with any new product, introducing it on its own for the first few uses is the sensible way to see how your skin responds before adding it alongside other actives. If you use a prescription-strength active elsewhere in your routine, following your own provider's layering guidance takes priority over general routine advice. --- Page: https://korean-pharmacy.com/products/dr-melaxin-cactox-pore-relief-dual-capsule-cream-65g
