# Dr. Melaxin TX Cream Dr Melaxin TX Cream, the authentic Korean-market cream sourced for the Korean market. - Brand: Dr. Melaxin - Product: TX Cream - Price: $35.29 - Availability: In stock - Size: 50 ml - Market: Korean market, the version sold in Korea - Made in: Republic of Korea - EAN (barcode): 8809886481413 - Category: Moisturizers ## Key benefits - Built around Glycerin and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride - Carries Butylene Glycol for supporting texture and feel - Formulated as a 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. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride 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 a 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. Apply it last, after toner and serum, while the layers underneath are still slightly damp. 2. Warm a small amount between the fingertips so it spreads in one pass instead of dragging. 3. Press it over the face and down the neck rather than rubbing in circles, which is what leaves a shine. 4. Do not skip the morning sunscreen, since a cream doing tone work assumes that last layer is going on. ## Ingredients Water, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Butylene Glycol, Methylpropanediol, Tranexamic Acid, Niacinamide, Dipropylene Glycol, Phenyl Trimethicone, 1,2-Hexanediol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dicaprylyl Carbonate, Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate, Polysorbate 60, Sodium Polyacrylate, Glyceryl Stearate, Sorbitan Sesquioleate, Stearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Palmitic Acid, Betaine, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Adenosine, Sodium Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Tocopherol, Polyisobutene, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Disodium EDTA, Panthenol, Trehalose, Ectoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract, Myrciaria Dubia Fruit Extract, Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Extract, Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract, Castanea Crenata (Chestnut) Shell Extract, Dextrin, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Polylysine, Arachidic Acid, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, Sorbitan Oleate, Ceramide NP, Myristic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Oleic Acid, Glutathione, Lecithin, Acetyl Glucosamine, Caprylyl Glycol, Tranexamoyl dipeptide-23, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Decapeptide-40 ## 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 cream its particular feel and finish. ### Where does this fit in a routine? As a cream, this is meant to be used at the point in a layered Korean routine where that step normally sits, applied by smoothing it over the face as the last step of the routine. 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 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-tx-cream
