# Dr. Melaxin Eyephalt Retinol Eyebag Cream Dr Melaxin Eyephalt Retinol Eyebag Cream: authentic Korean-market eye cream, sourced for the Korean market. - Brand: Dr. Melaxin - Product: Eyephalt Retinol Eyebag Cream - Price: $43.53 - Availability: In stock - Size: 10 ml - Market: Korean market, the version sold in Korea - Made in: Republic of Korea - Category: Eye Care ## Key benefits - Built around Glycerin and Niacinamide - Carries Butylene Glycol for supporting texture and feel - Formulated as an eye 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 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. ## How to use 1. Use the Eyephalt Retinol Eyebag Cream after serum and before moisturizer, morning and evening. 2. Allow your basic skincare products to fully absorb on skin before applying. Gently apply a half-pea-sized amount to the under-eye area. Use your fingertip to gently tap the product in. Remember, pat don't rub. You'll soon notice a smoother under-eye area. 3. Serum first, this second, moisturizer over the top and out to the edges of the eye area. 4. Twice a day. Do not apply it right up to the lash line; the product travels on its own as the day goes on. ## Ingredients Water, Trimethylpentanediol/Adipic Acid/Glycerin Crosspolymer, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, 1,2-Hexanediol, Vp/Va Copolymer, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Isohexadecane, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Amodimethicone, Polysorbate 80, Butylene Glycol, Canola Oil, Caprylyl Glycol, Sorbitan Oleate, Ethylhexylglycerin, C12-14 Sec-Alketh-7, Adenosine, Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extract, Pentylene Glycol, Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine, Retinol, Propylene Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Alcohol, Peg-5 Rapeseed Sterol, Brassica Campestris (Rapeseed) Sterols, Ceteth-5, Ceteth-3, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Bht, Cholesterol, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Lecithin, Sodium Phosphate, Sh-Oligopeptide-1, Hydrolyzed Sponge, Tocopheryl Acetate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract, Beta-Carotene, Collagen, Caffeine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Potassium Hyaluronate, Disodium Edta, Fragrance, Coumarin, Linalool ## 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 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? 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-eyephalt-retinol-eyebag-cream
