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. Butylene Glycol works alongside it, and together they are what Dr Melaxin is pointing at when the line is marketed for this routine step. Niacinamide rounds out the supporting cast, filling in texture and feel rather than acting as a headline ingredient. As a hydrogel eye patch, 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.
Key benefits
- Built around Glycerin and Butylene Glycol
- Carries Niacinamide for supporting texture and feel
- Formulated as a hydrogel eye patch 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
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
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 hydrogel eye patch its particular feel and finish.
Where does this fit in a routine?
As a hydrogel eye patch, this is meant to be used at the point in a layered Korean routine where that step normally sits, applied by pressing it onto clean under-eye skin and leaving it in place for the stated time. 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 hydrogel eye patch 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.

Ingredient list read from jolse.com on 10 September 2026.
40 of 45 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Niacinamide active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- Carrageenan thickener
- Carrageenan is a red-seaweed polysaccharide that thickens and forms a moisture-holding film. It gives a formula a slippery, cushioned body.
- Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum thickener
- Carob Gum is a seed polysaccharide from the carob tree. It thickens a formula and gives a soft, cushioned body.
- Pentylene Glycol humectant
- Pentylene Glycol hydrates and, like the other longer-chain glycols, makes a formula less hospitable to microbes so the preservative system can be lighter. It also improves how evenly a product spreads.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier
- Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser, mild enough to be a standard choice in Korean essences. It dissolves small amounts of oil into water without any tightening feel.
- Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum thickener
- Guar Gum is a seed polysaccharide that thickens and stabilises. It also leaves a conditioning film that makes skin feel smooth.
- Cellulose Gum thickener
- Cellulose Gum is plant cellulose modified to dissolve in water. It thickens, holds particles in suspension and gives a smooth, slippery body.
- Pinus Sylvestris Leaf Extract plant extract
- Scots pine needle extract. It carries pine terpenes and polyphenols and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract.
28 more explained
- Ethyl Hexanediol humectant
- Ethyl Hexanediol is a glycol that hydrates and makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, the same double role 1,2-hexanediol plays.
- Hexylene Glycol solvent
- Hexylene Glycol is a solvent and light humectant. It keeps ingredients that resist water in solution and thins a formula so it spreads evenly.
- Potassium Chloride mineral
- Potassium Chloride is a mineral salt used to bring a formula closer to the salt balance of skin, most often as part of a sea-water or mineral-water blend.
- Allantoin active
- Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
- Sucrose humectant
- Sucrose is table sugar, used here as a humectant. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and, in a scrub, doubles as the physical grain.
- Chlorphenesin preservative
- A preservative effective against bacteria, yeast and mould across a wide pH range, which is why it appears where a single milder preservative cannot cover the formula.
- Calcium Lactate mineral
- The calcium salt of lactic acid. It supplies calcium, buffers the pH of a formula, and sets alginate and gum gels into a firmer mass.
- Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster
- Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
- Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract plant extract
- Star Anise Fruit Extract carries aromatic plant compounds. It is used as a conditioning extract and contributes scent.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Calcium Chloride mineral
- Calcium Chloride is a mineral salt used in traces to balance a formula and to firm up gels made with alginate or gellan gum.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Adenosine active
- 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.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Arginine amino acid
- Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
- Mica colorant
- Mica is a mineral ground into fine flakes. It scatters light, so it lightens a shade and gives the soft glow of a tinted or illuminating product.
- Fragrance fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
- Caprylyl Glycol preservative booster
- Caprylyl Glycol is a glycol that conditions skin and, more importantly, strengthens a preservative system so less of the traditional preservative is needed. It appears in most modern formulas built without parabens.
- Hydrolyzed Elastin protein
- Hydrolyzed Elastin is fragments of elastin, the protein that gives skin its snap back. Like collagen it cannot rebuild the real thing from the outside; it holds water and leaves a smooth film.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen protein
- Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film.
- Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract plant extract
- Tremella Fuciformis is snow mushroom. Its polysaccharide holds even more water than hyaluronic acid for its weight, which is why it appears in hydrating Korean formulas as a plant alternative.
- Collagen Extract protein
- Collagen Extract is a collagen-bearing extract, usually from fish skin or scales. In a formula it works as a humectant and a smoothing film rather than as a source of new collagen.
- Gluconolactone exfoliant
- Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. Its molecule is too large to penetrate quickly, so it smooths the surface without the sting of an AHA, and it is a humectant at the same time.
- CI 77491 colorant
- Iron Oxides are mineral pigments in red, yellow and black, and the three are blended to make every skin-tone shade in a tinted product. They are inert and sit on the surface.
- Sodium Benzoate preservative
- Sodium Benzoate is a mild preservative that works only in acidic formulas. It is usually paired with potassium sorbate, and the pair is the standard choice where a brand wants no phenoxyethanol.
- Tin Oxide colorant
- A white mineral used in small amounts alongside pearl pigments, where it helps them disperse and brightens the effect.
- Calcium Gluconate mineral
- The calcium salt of gluconic acid, a readily water soluble way to bring calcium into a formula. It is used as a mineral source and a mild buffering salt.

How to use
- Use the Calcium Cemenrete Calcium Volume Eye Patch in the evening, after toner, on clean skin under each eye.
- Attach the patch to the concerned areas and leave for 10 to 30 minutes. Remove and gently tap to aid absorption of the remaining essence, follow with a moisturizer.
- Toner first so the skin is clean and slightly damp. Take the patches off at the time the pack gives, pat in what is left, then carry on to your cream.
- Two or three evenings a week. Do not reuse a patch or leave one on overnight; once the essence has gone the sheet works against the skin it is sitting on.
Worth knowing
- Avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves; apply only to the surrounding skin.
- Remove promptly if any stinging or discomfort develops.
