Cactox Jelly Cream Booster & Pore Relief Hydrogel Mask Set (4 Sheets)

Dr.Melaxin Cactox Jelly Cream Booster & Pore Relief Hydrogel Mask Set (4 Sheets) is a two-step intensive skincare treatment designed to cool, hydrate and visibly refine skin affected by dehydration, puffiness and enlarged-looking pores. Step 1 uses a lightweight Jelly Cream Booster with Niacinamide, Panthenol, Zinc PCA, nine forms of Hyaluronic Acid and a 12-peptide complex, while Step 2 seals in moisture with a long-wear hydrogel mask enriched with Collagen Extract, Beta-Glucan, cactus extracts and the same multi-Hyaluronic Acid and peptide complex. Together, the two steps help leave the complexion looking smoother, fresher, plumper and more refined.

Benefits:

• Provides intensive two-step hydration: The Jelly Cream Booster prepares the skin with humectants before the Hydrogel Mask helps maintain moisture over an extended wear period.
• Helps reduce the appearance of puffiness: Cooling ingredients and prolonged hydrogel contact help tired, puffy-looking skin appear fresher and more defined.
• Helps pores appear more refined: Niacinamide, Zinc PCA in the booster, hydration and cooling care can help enlarged-looking pores appear smoother and less noticeable.
• Delivers multi-Hyaluronic Acid hydration: Both steps contain nine clearly named forms of Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate to support moisture retention and a temporarily plumper appearance.
• Supports firmer-looking skin: Adenosine and a 12-peptide complex help improve the appearance of elasticity, fine lines and skin smoothness.
• Supports skin comfort: Panthenol, Aloe-derived ingredients, Allantoin and Beta-Glucan provide moisturizing and soothing support across the two-step treatment.
• Helps improve dull-looking skin: Niacinamide supports a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
• Provides cactus-based conditioning care: Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower, Fruit and Stem Extracts are included in both steps to provide botanical conditioning and antioxidant support.
• Temporarily plumps and softens: Collagen Extract in the Hydrogel Mask and multiple humectants help condition the skin’s surface for a softer, fuller-looking finish.
• Offers long-wear hydrogel care: The second-step hydrogel gradually becomes more transparent during wear as the treatment progresses, making it suitable for intensive at-home skincare sessions.

Skin Types: Normal • Dry • Dehydrated • Combination • Oily • Mature skin • Sensitive skin that tolerates fragrance and cooling ingredients
Skin Concerns: Enlarged-looking pores • Dehydration • Facial puffiness • Loss of firmness • Fine lines • Dullness • Rough texture • Uneven-looking skin

Formula Notes:

• Two-step format: Each treatment consists of a 2g Jelly Cream Booster followed by a 34g Pore Relief Hydrogel Mask. The set contains four complete treatments.
• COOLIF™ claim: The supplied product information states that the Jelly Cream Booster contains COOLIF™. No ingredient named COOLIF appears in the supplied INCI, so the exact composition of this proprietary cooling complex cannot be independently confirmed from the ingredient list alone.
• Cactox Elixir: The supplied description refers to Cactox Elixir and cactus-derived mucilage. Both formulas contain Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower, Fruit and Stem Extracts as well as Lactobacillus Ferment, but “Cactox Elixir” and “cactus mucilage” are not separately identified INCI ingredients.
• Pore tightening: The product may help enlarged-looking pores appear temporarily more refined through hydration, cooling and Niacinamide-based care, but it cannot permanently shrink pore size.
• Puffiness: Cooling and hydration may temporarily reduce the appearance of facial puffiness, but this is not a permanent change to facial structure or fat distribution.
• Hyaluronic Acid complex: Both Step 1 and Step 2 contain nine clearly named forms of Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate.
• Peptide complex: Both steps contain 12 clearly named peptides.
• Collagen: Collagen Extract is present in the Hydrogel Mask but is not listed in the Jelly Cream Booster. Topical Collagen primarily conditions and hydrates the skin’s surface and does not replace the skin’s natural dermal collagen.
• Vegan status: Vegan status cannot be confirmed from the supplied INCI because the biological source of Collagen Extract is not specified.
• Fragrance: Fragrance is listed in both the Jelly Cream Booster and the Pore Relief Hydrogel Mask, so the treatment is not fragrance-free.
• Essential oils: No clearly identified aromatic essential oils are listed. Cymbopogon Citratus Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract and Mentha Arvensis Extract in the booster are listed as extracts rather than essential oils.

How to Use:

1. After cleansing, open Step 1 and apply the Jelly Cream Booster evenly over the face.
2. Gently pat until the booster is mostly absorbed.
3. Remove the Step 2 Hydrogel Mask from its packaging and position it carefully over the face.
4. Smooth the mask gently so it adheres closely to the contours of the skin.
5. Leave on for approximately 3–4 hours according to the supplied directions, or until the hydrogel has become noticeably more transparent.
6. Remove the mask if it becomes uncomfortable, excessively tight or irritating rather than continuing until it is completely dried out.
7. After removal, gently pat any remaining essence into the skin. Do not rinse.
8. Follow with moisturizer if additional comfort is needed, especially for dry skin.
9. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen during the daytime as the final step of your routine.
10. Avoid applying the treatment to broken or significantly irritated skin.

FAQ:

Q: What is Dr.Melaxin Cactox Jelly Cream Booster & Pore Relief Hydrogel Mask Set?
A: It is a two-step treatment consisting of a Jelly Cream Booster followed by a long-wear Hydrogel Mask, designed to provide intensive hydration, cooling, de-puffing care and a more refined-looking complexion.

Q: What is included in the set?
A: The set contains four treatments. Each treatment includes a 2g Jelly Cream Booster and one 34g Pore Relief Hydrogel Mask.

Q: What does Step 1 do?
A: The Jelly Cream Booster prepares the skin with Niacinamide, Panthenol, Zinc PCA, nine forms of Hyaluronic Acid, cactus extracts and a 12-peptide complex to support hydration, skin comfort and smoother-looking pores.

Q: What does Step 2 do?
A: The Hydrogel Mask provides prolonged moisture contact and contains Niacinamide, Panthenol, Collagen Extract, Beta-Glucan, cactus extracts, nine forms of Hyaluronic Acid and 12 peptides to help skin look plumper, smoother and less puffy.

Q: Do I need to use both steps together?
A: The product is designed as a two-step treatment, with the Jelly Cream Booster applied first and the Hydrogel Mask placed over it afterwards.

Q: How long should I leave the hydrogel mask on?
A: The supplied directions recommend approximately 3–4 hours, during which the hydrogel gradually becomes more transparent.

Q: Should I wait until the mask is completely dry?
A: No. Although the supplied directions describe the mask becoming transparent and dry, it is better to remove it within the recommended 3–4 hour period or sooner if it becomes uncomfortably tight or irritating.

Q: Why does the hydrogel turn transparent?
A: The hydrogel gradually changes in appearance during extended wear as moisture and essence redistribute between the mask and skin. Transparency is part of the intended long-wear format and does not mean that every ingredient has literally been absorbed into the skin.

Q: Can I sleep with this mask overnight?
A: The supplied directions specify 3–4 hours rather than overnight use. Follow that recommended wear time unless the manufacturer’s packaging specifically provides different instructions.

Q: Does the mask shrink pores?
A: It cannot permanently shrink pores. Hydration, Niacinamide, cooling and temporary surface tightening can help enlarged-looking pores appear smoother and less noticeable.

Q: Does it unclog pores?
A: This is primarily a hydrating and pore-refining treatment rather than an exfoliating pore-clearing mask. It can improve the visible appearance of pores but should not replace appropriate cleansing or exfoliation for persistent congestion.

Q: Does it help with facial puffiness?
A: Yes. The cooling and long-wear hydrogel format may temporarily help puffy-looking skin appear fresher and more refined.

Q: Can it permanently reduce facial puffiness?
A: No. Any de-puffing effect is temporary and does not permanently alter facial structure or underlying fat.

Q: What is Cactox Elixir?
A: The supplied product information describes Cactox Elixir as a cactus-based complex. Both formulas contain Opuntia Ficus-Indica Flower, Fruit and Stem Extracts and Lactobacillus Ferment, but the exact proprietary Cactox Elixir composition is not identified separately in the INCI.

Q: Is cactus mucilage listed in the ingredients?
A: The marketing description refers to cactus-derived mucilage, but no ingredient specifically named cactus mucilage appears in the supplied INCI. Several Opuntia Ficus-Indica cactus extracts are present.

Q: What is COOLIF™?
A: COOLIF™ is mentioned in the supplied product information as part of the Jelly Cream Booster’s cooling concept. It is not listed as an INCI ingredient, so its exact proprietary composition cannot be independently confirmed from the ingredient list alone.

Q: Does the Jelly Cream Booster contain Panthenol?
A: Yes. Panthenol is clearly listed in the Step 1 formula.

Q: Does the Hydrogel Mask also contain Panthenol?
A: Yes. Panthenol is listed in Step 2 as well.

Q: How many forms of Hyaluronic Acid are in Step 1?
A: The Jelly Cream Booster contains nine clearly named forms of Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate.

Q: How many forms of Hyaluronic Acid are in Step 2?
A: The Hydrogel Mask also contains nine clearly named forms.

Q: Which nine Hyaluronic Acid forms are included?
A: The formulas contain Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Dimethylsilanol Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Dimethylsilanol and Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate.

Q: How many peptides does the treatment contain?
A: Both the Jelly Cream Booster and Hydrogel Mask contain 12 clearly named peptides.

Q: Which peptides are included?
A: The formulas contain Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate, Hexapeptide-9, Nonapeptide-1, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Pentapeptide-3 and Tripeptide-1.

Q: Does it contain Copper Peptide?
A: Yes. Copper Tripeptide-1 is listed in both steps.

Q: Is Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate Botox?
A: No. It is a cosmetic peptide ingredient and should not be confused with injectable botulinum toxin treatments. It does not freeze facial muscles like an injection.

Q: Does the treatment contain Collagen?
A: Yes, but only the Hydrogel Mask lists Collagen Extract. It is not listed in the Jelly Cream Booster.

Q: What does topical Collagen do?
A: Topical Collagen primarily conditions and hydrates the skin’s surface, helping it feel softer and appear temporarily plumper. It does not replace the skin’s natural collagen.

Q: Is the product vegan?
A: Vegan status cannot be confirmed from the supplied ingredient list because Step 2 contains Collagen Extract and its biological source is not specified.

Q: Does it contain Niacinamide?
A: Yes. Niacinamide is present in both the Jelly Cream Booster and Hydrogel Mask and helps support brightness, barrier function and a more refined-looking complexion.

Q: Does Step 1 contain Zinc PCA?
A: Yes. Zinc Pca is listed in the Jelly Cream Booster and can help support balanced-looking skin and visible pore care.

Q: Is the treatment fragrance-free?
A: No. Fragrance is listed in both Step 1 and Step 2.

Q: Does it contain essential oils?
A: No clearly identified aromatic essential oils are listed. The booster contains Cymbopogon Citratus Extract, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract and Mentha Arvensis Extract, which are listed as plant extracts rather than essential oils.

Q: Does it contain drying alcohol?
A: Ethanol and Alcohol Denat. are not listed in either supplied formula.

Q: Does it contain Retinol?
A: No Retinol, Retinal or other clearly identified retinoid is listed in the supplied INCI.

Q: Is it suitable for dry skin?
A: Yes. The extensive humectant system, Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid complex, Beta-Glucan and long-wear hydrogel format make it especially relevant for dehydrated and dry-feeling skin.

Q: Is it suitable for oily skin?
A: Yes. Oily skin can still be dehydrated, and the treatment includes Niacinamide and Zinc PCA alongside hydrating ingredients. The rich long-wear format may simply feel more intensive than a lightweight daily mask.

Q: Is it suitable for combination skin?
A: Yes. It is particularly useful when combination skin feels dehydrated while also showing visible pores or uneven texture.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Sensitive skin may tolerate it, but Fragrance is present in both steps and the booster contains several botanical extracts with a cooling positioning. Patch testing is advisable for highly reactive skin.

Q: Can acne-prone skin use it?
A: Acne-prone skin may use it if the formula is well tolerated. It can support hydration and skin comfort but is not a medical acne treatment.

Q: Can I use it with Retinol or Retinal?
A: Yes, because the mask itself does not list a retinoid. However, if your Retinol or Retinal product already causes dryness or irritation, avoid adding too many active products underneath the long-wear mask.

Q: Can I use it with Vitamin C?
A: Yes. A well-tolerated Vitamin C serum can generally be used in the same routine, although highly sensitive skin may prefer a simpler routine beneath a 3–4 hour mask.

Q: Can I use it with AHA or BHA exfoliants?
A: It is generally possible, but strong exfoliating acids immediately before a long-wear mask may increase sensitivity. If your skin is reactive, use exfoliants and this treatment on different days.

Q: Should I apply serum before Step 1?
A: You can use a lightweight toner or serum first, but it is not essential. Because Step 1 already acts as a booster, a simple routine may help the hydrogel adhere more comfortably.

Q: Do I need moisturizer after the mask?
A: Not necessarily. If your skin feels comfortable after removal, you may finish there. Dry skin can follow with moisturizer to help seal in hydration.

Q: How often can I use this treatment?
A: It can be used whenever intensive hydration, cooling and visible pore-refining care are desired. Frequency should be adjusted according to skin tolerance rather than assuming daily use is necessary.

Q: Is it good before makeup or an event?
A: Yes. Its hydrating, cooling and temporary de-puffing effects can help skin look smoother, fresher and more refined before a special occasion. Complete the full 3–4 hour treatment early enough for any remaining essence to absorb before makeup.

Q: Can I use it during pregnancy?
A: No commonly avoided retinoid ingredient is listed in the supplied INCI. Anyone with pregnancy-specific medical concerns about particular cosmetic ingredients should still discuss their routine with their doctor.

Q: Where can I buy Dr.Melaxin skincare in Cyprus?
A: You can find Dr.Melaxin Cactox Jelly Cream Booster & Pore Relief Hydrogel Mask Set at Just Cosmetics, together with a curated selection of Korean Cosmetics in Cyprus.
