Dr. Melaxin - Peel Shot Exfoliating Kojic Acid Turmeric Body Spray (200ml)

Dr.Melaxin Peel Shot Exfoliating Kojic Acid Turmeric Spray is a targeted body exfoliating spray designed to smooth rough, bumpy-looking skin while helping improve the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone. Its gommage-style formula combines Kojic Acid, Turmeric Root Extract, Niacinamide, Gluconolactone (PHA), Citric Acid, Retinol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and a multi-vitamin blend for exfoliating and brightening care. Spray onto dry skin, massage gently to roll away product and surface buildup, then rinse for softer, more refined-looking skin.

Benefits:

• Helps smooth bumpy skin: Gluconolactone and Citric Acid provide exfoliating care that helps remove accumulated dead surface cells and improve rough-looking texture.
• Targets uneven-looking tone: Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, Turmeric Root Extract, Retinol and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate support a brighter, more even-looking complexion.
• Helps improve visible dark spots: Consistent use of the formula’s tone-evening ingredients can help areas of discoloration appear less noticeable over time.
• Provides gentle PHA exfoliation: Gluconolactone helps loosen dead surface cells while also offering humectant properties.
• Supports smoother-looking skin with Retinol: Retinol helps improve the appearance of rough texture and uneven tone with appropriately introduced use.
• Provides antioxidant care: Turmeric, Tocopherol, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Beta-Carotene and botanical ingredients help provide antioxidant support.
• Supports skin hydration: Glycerin, Propanediol, Sorbitol and Saccharide Isomerate help attract moisture to reduce a dry or tight feeling after exfoliation.
• Helps maintain skin comfort: Panthenol provides moisturizing and conditioning support within the exfoliating formula.
• Offers a gommage-style exfoliating experience: Gentle rubbing causes the formula to roll on the skin, helping lift surface residue without requiring a coarse physical scrub.
• Designed for targeted body care: The spray format makes it easy to apply to rough or uneven-looking areas such as the arms, legs, elbows or other body zones.

Skin Types: Normal • Combination • Oily • Dry skin with appropriate frequency • Retinoid-tolerant skin • Sensitive skin with caution
Body Skin Concerns: Bumpy texture • Roughness • Dead skin cell buildup • Dullness • Uneven-looking tone • Dark spots • Post-blemish marks • Uneven body texture

Clinical Results:

• The supplied product information states that the formula has been proven to be non-irritating.
• No testing institution, participant number, test duration, irritation score or methodology was supplied, so the extent of this claim cannot be independently evaluated from the provided information.
• Individual tolerance may vary, particularly because the formula contains Retinol, exfoliating acids and multiple aromatic essential oils.
• Individual results may vary.

Formula Notes:

• Keratin discrepancy: The supplied marketing information states that the product contains Keratin, but no Keratin or Hydrolyzed Keratin appears in the supplied INCI. Keratin is therefore not presented as a confirmed ingredient.
• PHA: Gluconolactone is clearly present and provides PHA-based exfoliating care.
• AHA: Citric Acid is present and is chemically an AHA, although in cosmetic formulas it may also be used to adjust pH. No Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid or Mandelic Acid is listed.
• Kojic Acid: Kojic Acid is clearly present, but no percentage is supplied, so its concentration cannot be determined from the INCI alone.
• Retinol: Retinol is clearly present. Its percentage is not supplied and cannot be determined from ingredient order alone.
• Turmeric: Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract is confirmed in the supplied INCI.
• Vitamin complex: The formula contains several vitamin or vitamin-related ingredients, including Niacinamide, Cyanocobalamin, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Retinol, Biotin, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine, Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene, Riboflavin and Thiamine Hcl.
• Gommage effect: The visible material that rolls away during rubbing should not be assumed to consist entirely of dead skin cells. Gommage products also form visible rolls from the formula itself as it interacts with friction and the skin surface.
• Fragrance and essential oils: No Fragrance or Parfum is listed, but the formula contains several aromatic essential oils, including Lavender Oil, Lemon Peel Oil, Mandarin Orange Peel Oil, Cedarwood Oil, Orange Peel Oil and Rosemary Leaf Oil. The product should therefore not be described as fragrance-free.
• Citrus oils: Several citrus peel oils are present. Exposed treated areas should be protected from excessive sun exposure, particularly as the formula also contains exfoliating ingredients and Retinol.

How to Use:

1. Use on clean, completely dry body skin.
2. Spray an appropriate amount directly onto the area you want to exfoliate.
3. Massage gently with your fingertips until the gommage formula begins to roll across the skin.
4. Do not scrub aggressively; light, controlled rubbing is sufficient.
5. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
6. Follow with a body moisturizer if needed.
7. Because the formula contains Retinol and exfoliating acids, evening use is preferable when first introducing the product.
8. Begin approximately 1–2 times per week and increase only if your skin tolerates it comfortably.
9. Avoid applying to broken, irritated, sunburned or freshly shaved, waxed or epilated skin.
10. Avoid combining on the same area with another Retinol, strong AHA/BHA exfoliant or abrasive body scrub if irritation develops easily.
11. Mild temporary tingling may occur, but persistent burning, pronounced redness or irritation is a reason to rinse immediately and discontinue use.
12. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed treated areas every morning.
13. Avoid Retinol-containing products during pregnancy. During breastfeeding, discuss Retinol use with your doctor.

A: No Retinol percentage is provided, so its exact concentration cannot be determined from the INCI alone.

Q: Why combine Retinol with exfoliating acids?
A: Retinol supports smoother-looking texture and more even-looking tone over time, while PHA helps remove accumulated dead surface cells. Because both can increase sensitivity, the product should be introduced gradually.

Q: Does this spray contain Keratin?
A: No Keratin or Hydrolyzed Keratin appears in the supplied INCI, despite Keratin being mentioned in the supplied marketing information.

Q: Does it contain Niacinamide?
A: Yes. Niacinamide is listed and helps support a brighter, more even-looking complexion and skin barrier function.

A: Yes. Kojic Acid, Niacinamide, Retinol, Turmeric and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate can support a more even-looking complexion with consistent use.

A: It may help improve the appearance of post-blemish discoloration once the skin has healed. Avoid applying it directly to broken, picked or actively inflamed lesions.

Q: Can I use it for dark elbows and knees?
A: Yes. Rough, uneven-looking areas such as elbows and knees are appropriate target areas, provided the skin is intact and the product is introduced gradually.

Q: Can I use it for strawberry legs?
A: It may help improve rough texture and visible buildup associated with strawberry-leg appearance through exfoliation. It is not a medical treatment for folliculitis or other skin conditions.

Q: Can I use it for keratosis pilaris?
A: Its exfoliating ingredients may help rough, bumpy-looking skin feel smoother, but keratosis pilaris is a skin condition and this product should not be described as a medical treatment for it.

Q: What is the gommage effect?
A: As you massage the formula, it forms small visible rolls that help lift surface residue. These rolls consist partly of the formula itself and should not be assumed to be entirely dead skin.

Q: Should I scrub hard to remove more dead skin?
A: No. Gentle massage is sufficient. Aggressive rubbing can irritate the skin and may worsen discoloration rather than improve it.

Q: Do I need to rinse the spray off?
A: Yes. Massage until the gommage effect occurs, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water according to the supplied directions.

Q: Do I apply it to wet or dry skin?
A: Apply it to dry skin as directed so the gommage formula can work properly.

Q: How often should I use it?
A: Because it contains PHA, Kojic Acid and Retinol, begin around 1–2 times per week and increase only if your skin remains comfortable.

Q: Can I use it every day?
A: Daily use is not necessary and may be too irritating for some skin because Retinol and exfoliating ingredients are present.

Q: Should I use it in the morning or evening?
A: Evening use is preferable, particularly when first introducing the product, because the formula contains Retinol and exfoliating ingredients.

Q: Do I need sunscreen while using it?
A: Yes. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to exposed treated areas every morning, especially because the formula contains Retinol, exfoliating ingredients and several citrus peel oils.

Q: Can I use it immediately after shaving?
A: No. Avoid using it immediately after shaving because freshly shaved skin may be more prone to burning and irritation.

Q: Can I use it after waxing or epilating?
A: Avoid applying the spray immediately after waxing or epilation. Wait until the skin has returned to its normal, comfortable condition.

Q: Can I use it with another body Retinol?
A: Avoid layering multiple Retinol products on the same area in the same routine unless you already know your skin tolerates them well.

Q: Can I use it with AHA or BHA body lotions?
A: Because this spray already provides exfoliating care, using additional acids on the same area may increase dryness and irritation. Alternating them is a safer approach for sensitive skin.

Q: Can I use it with Vitamin C?
A: Yes, but the spray already contains Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate. If you use another strong brightening or exfoliating body treatment, alternate products if irritation develops.

Q: Is the spray fragrance-free?
A: No Fragrance or Parfum is listed, but the product contains multiple aromatic essential oils, so it should not be described as fragrance-free.

Q: Which essential oils are present?
A: The formula contains Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Citrus Nobilis (Mandarin Orange) Peel Oil, Cedrus Atlantica Wood Oil, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: Sensitive skin should use caution. Although the supplied information describes the formula as non-irritating, it contains Retinol, PHA, Kojic Acid and several aromatic essential oils. Patch testing and gradual introduction are advisable.

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

Q: What should I apply after rinsing it off?
A: Follow with a simple moisturizing body lotion or cream to help maintain comfort and hydration. Avoid immediately layering another strong exfoliating or Retinol product.
