Applied to dry skin after cleansing and massaged, its cellulose and steartrimonium methosulfate gather into crumbs that lift away loose surface flakes, and then the whole layer rinses off. Niacinamide and rice extract sit in the second half of the list, with arbutin, gluconolactone and salicylic acid at the very end. Follow with toner and moisturizer as usual. ## How to use 1. After cleansing, pat the face dry; this gel is applied to dry skin. 2. Apply an even amount and massage over the whole face, keeping clear of the eye area. 3. Massage gently until it gathers; do not scrub, because pressure adds irritation rather than results. 4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, then follow with toner and moisturizer. ## Ingredients Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Water(640,000PPM), Dipropylene Glycol, Water, Tripropylene Glycol, Cellulose, Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Carbomer, Steartrimonium Methosulfate, Glycerin, Saccharide Isomerate, Isopropyl Alcohol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Squalane, Ethylhexylglycerin, Sucrose Distearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract, Hydrolyzed Malt Extract, Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract, Disodium EDTA, Fragrance, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Niacinamide, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Extract, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Coptis Japonica Root Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Extract, Dextrin, Arbutin, Gluconolactone, Salicylic Acid ## FAQ ### What does Dipropylene Glycol do in this formula? Dipropylene Glycol is a solvent and humectant that helps carry actives evenly through the formula and supports its overall moisture feel. 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 serum its particular feel and finish. ### Where does this fit in a routine? As a serum, this is meant to be used at the point in a layered Korean routine where that step normally sits, applied by pressing a few drops into skin after toner and before moisturizer. 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 serum 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? Dipropylene Glycol 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-peel-shot-exfoliant-rice-ampoule
