How it works
The formula is built around Niacinamide, which sits high enough on the ingredient list to carry real weight rather than trace amounts. Xanthan Gum works alongside it, and together they are what Dr Melaxin is pointing at when the line is marketed for this routine step. Adenosine rounds out the supporting cast, filling in texture and feel rather than acting as a headline ingredient. As an eye 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.
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
How to use
- Take a very small amount for both eyes, since this area needs far less than the rest of the face.
- Tap it along the orbital bone with the ring finger, which applies less pressure than the index finger does.
- Let it settle for a minute before any concealer goes on, so it does not lift the makeup.
- Do not apply it right up to the lash line or on the lid, because product migrates upward and will end up in the eye.
What does Niacinamide do in this formula?
Niacinamide sits near the top of this formula's ingredient list, and at that position it is doing real work on tone and the look of pore size rather than riding along as an afterthought. 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 eye cream its particular feel and finish.
Where does this fit in a routine?
As an eye cream, this is meant to be used at the point in a layered Korean routine where that step normally sits, applied by patting a small amount around the orbital bone morning and night. 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 an eye 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?
Niacinamide 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.

27 of 27 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.
- Magnesium Aluminum Silicate thickener
- A refined clay mineral used to thicken water and hold powders and pigments suspended so a formula does not separate.
- 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.
- 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.
- Sodium Silicate pH adjuster
- Sodium Silicate is water glass, an alkaline mineral salt. It raises pH, thickens, and helps set a mask as it dries.
- Citric Acid pH adjuster
- Citric Acid is used in tiny amounts to bring a formula to the pH its actives need, not as an exfoliant at that level. It is an AHA, so at much higher concentrations it can also exfoliate.
- Xanthan Gum thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
- 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.
- Arbutin active
- Arbutin is the naturally occurring form of the same compound, from bearberry and related plants, used for the look of uneven tone. The alpha isomer is the more stable of the two.
- Glutathione antioxidant
- Glutathione is a small peptide the body uses as one of its main antioxidants. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant and for the look of dullness; it is unstable in water, so formulas that carry it are usually built around protecting it.
- Hydrolyzed Sponge active
- Hydrolyzed Sponge is processed freshwater sponge, which carries fine silica spicules. In a formula it works as a mild physical exfoliant.
15 more explained
- 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.
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient
- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
- Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil emollient
- Baobab seed oil, balanced between oleic and linoleic acid so it absorbs at a middling speed, and unusually stable against oxidation.
- Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- Ceramide NP barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
- Tocopherol antioxidant
- Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
- 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.
- Ceramide AS barrier lipid
- Ceramide AS is a further member of the same lipid family. Its presence usually signals a formula built around a full ceramide profile rather than a single headline one.
- Ceramide NS barrier lipid
- Ceramide NS is another of the ceramides skin makes for itself. It is used alongside NP and AP so a formula supplies a mixture rather than a single lipid.
- Tranexamoyl dipeptide-23 peptide
- A two amino acid peptide with a tranexamic acid group attached, so it carries both a peptide and the tranexamoyl fragment. It is used in formulas aimed at the look of even tone.
- Ceramide AP barrier lipid
- Ceramide AP is a second cosmetic ceramide, distinguished by an extra hydroxyl group. Formulas that name several ceramides are copying the mix skin actually holds rather than relying on one.
- Ceramide EOP barrier lipid
- Ceramide EOP is the ceramide with the longest tail, and in skin it acts as the rivet holding the lipid layers together. It is the third member of the standard cosmetic ceramide trio.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- rh-Oligopeptide-1 peptide
- A short peptide produced in a recombinant human sequence, which is what the rh prefix records. It is used in formulas built around the look of firmness and recovery.
