Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this peeling gel's own ingredient list it is named twenty-first.
Kojic Acidactive
Kojic Acid comes from the fermentation of rice by Aspergillus, the mould used to make sake. It is used in formulas addressed to the look of uneven tone, and it darkens in air. It is named thirty-first on this peeling gel's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Retinolactive
Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A and the strongest retinoid available without a prescription. Skin converts it in two steps to retinoic acid, and it is used at night, at low percentages, for the look of fine lines and rough texture. The panel names it thirty-sixth on this peeling gel's list, beside Niacinamide.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. It is named thirtieth on this peeling gel's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Cyanocobalaminvitamin
Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this peeling gel's list, beside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Use it by applying to clean, dry skin and using as directed, then rinsing, working it into the skin in the position this exfoliating treatment occupies in a full routine, and following up with the next step once it has settled.
Where does this peeling gel go in my routine?
After cleansing, in place of the toner step, on two evenings a week. Anything thinner than a peeling gel 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 Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Kojic Acid, Retinol and Gluconolactone. The order they are printed in on this peeling gel's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Cyanocobalamin, Biotin and Folic Acid.

How it works
The Peel Shot Exfoliating TX Spray is a 200ml peeling gel, used after cleansing, in place of the toner step, on two evenings a week. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named twenty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Kojic Acid, Retinol and Gluconolactone, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the peeling gel format rather than by the list alone. Dr. Melaxin sells this Niacinamide peeling gel in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this peeling gel on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- Retinol is on this list, so keep this peeling gel to the evening and build the nights up slowly rather than starting nightly.
- Citric Acid and Gluconolactone on this list makes this peeling gel an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of your skin, where it finds and boosts collagen and elastin, which is a protein that strengthens your skin's flexibility.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.

This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
