Key actives
Bisabololactive
Bisabolol is the main active fraction of chamomile oil, usually supplied from candeia wood. It is used for the look of redness in formulas for reactive skin, and it helps other ingredients absorb. On this balm's own ingredient list it is named ninth.
Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamideactive
A synthetic cooling agent that gives the cool feeling of menthol without the mint smell. It is used where a formula wants the sensation but not the scent. The panel names it fourteenth on this balm's list, beside Bisabolol.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it eighteenth on this balm's list, beside Bisabolol.
Zinc PCAactive
Zinc PCA pairs zinc with the humectant PCA. It is used in oily and blemish-prone formulas for the look of shine and visible pores, and it hydrates at the same time. It is named thirty-second on this balm's list, alongside Bisabolol.
Caffeineactive
Caffeine constricts small blood vessels near the surface, which is why eye products use it for the look of puffiness and shadow. It is water soluble and works only while it is on the skin. The panel names it thirty-seventh on this balm's list, beside Bisabolol.
Where does this balm go in my routine?
As the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. Anything thinner than a balm goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Bisabolol and not three changes at once.
Does this balm contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this balm is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Bisabolol?
Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Adenosine and Zinc PCA. The order they are printed in on this balm's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Bisabolol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Caffeine, Lactobacillus Ferment and BHT.

How it works
The Cactox Pore Relief Multi Balm Stick is a balm, used as the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. The active it is built around is Bisabolol, named ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Adenosine and Zinc PCA, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Bisabolol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the balm format rather than by the list alone. Dr. Melaxin sells this Bisabolol balm in Korea, and this is that version.
How to use
- Use it by warming a small amount between fingertips and pressing it onto the targeted area, working it into the skin in the position this multi-balm occupies in a full routine, and following up with the next step once it has settled.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this balm on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Bisabolol on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

It has also been proven that caffeine stimulates lipolysis, which Lupo et al postulated may contribute to improvements in lower eyelid sagging and puffiness.
