FAQ:

Q: What does Dr.Melaxin Aqua Ion Plasma Hydrating Gel Cream do?
A: It provides intensive hydration, helps reduce dryness and moisture loss, and supports softer, smoother and plumper-looking skin without the feel of a traditional heavy cream.

Q: Is this a moisturizer?
A: Yes. It is a lightweight gel-cream moisturizer designed to be used as the moisturizing step after toner and serum.

Q: Is it suitable for dehydrated skin?
A: Yes. Hydration is the main focus of the formula, with Glycerin, Diglycerin, Betaine and eight forms of Hyaluronic Acid providing extensive humectant support.

Q: Does it really moisturize for 100 hours?
A: According to the supplied clinical information, moisturizing benefits were measured for up to 100 hours. Individual results will vary, and this does not mean that cleansing the skin or other environmental factors cannot affect hydration during that period.

Q: What does the 235.5% result mean?
A: The supplied clinical information reports an immediate moisturizing improvement of up to 235.5%. No complete test protocol or measurement methodology was supplied, so the result is reproduced as manufacturer-provided clinical information.

Q: What does the 147.7% result mean?
A: According to the supplied product information, skin moisturization after 100 hours improved by up to 147.7% under the conditions of the manufacturer’s test.

Q: What does the 123.93% moisture-loss result mean?
A: The supplied information reports an improvement in moisture loss of up to 123.93%. Because the exact measurement method and terminology were not provided, it should not be interpreted more specifically than the manufacturer’s supplied claim.

Q: Was the cream tested for irritation?
A: The supplied information reports a skin irritation test result of 0.00. However, the testing institution, participant number and complete methodology were not provided.

Q: Does a 0.00 irritation result mean nobody can react to it?
A: No. A low-irritation test result does not guarantee that every person will tolerate a cosmetic product. Individual sensitivities and allergies can still occur.

Q: What is L22?
A: L22 is described in the supplied product information as a patented moisturizing ingredient associated with barrier care. “L22” does not appear as a standardized INCI name, so its exact composition cannot be identified from the supplied ingredient list alone.

Q: Does L22 repair the stratum corneum?
A: The marketing information describes L22 as restoring the stratum corneum. For a cosmetic moisturizer, it is more appropriate to say the formula helps support moisture retention, surface softness and barrier comfort rather than claiming medical structural repair.

Q: What is Aqua Ion Plasma technology?
A: Aqua Ion Plasma is the technology name used in the supplied product description. It is not an INCI ingredient, so its exact technical composition or delivery mechanism cannot be determined from the ingredient list alone.

Q: How many types of Hyaluronic Acid does the cream contain?
A: The supplied INCI contains eight clearly named forms of Hyaluronic Acid or hyaluronate.

Q: Which eight forms of Hyaluronic Acid are included?
A: They are Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer and Potassium Hyaluronate.

Q: What do the different Hyaluronic Acid forms do?
A: They act primarily as humectants and conditioning ingredients that help attract and retain moisture at the skin’s surface, supporting a softer and temporarily plumper appearance.

Q: Does it contain Niacinamide?
A: Yes. Niacinamide is listed relatively high in the formula and supports barrier function, brightness and a more even-looking complexion.

Q: Does it contain marine minerals?
A: The supplied marketing information refers to Marine Minerals. The ingredient list contains Pearl Powder, Calcium Lactate, Magnesium Carbonate and mineral salts, but there is no standardized INCI ingredient specifically named “Marine Minerals,” so the exact marketed complex cannot be confirmed.

Q: Does it contain Pearl Powder?
A: Yes. Pearl Powder is clearly listed in the supplied INCI.

Q: Does it contain Ceramides?
A: No clearly named ceramide appears in the supplied INCI.

Q: Does it contain Squalane?
A: Squalane is not listed. The formula instead contains Squalene, which is a related but distinct emollient ingredient.

Q: Is Dr.Melaxin Aqua Ion Plasma Hydrating Gel Cream fragrance-free?
A: No Fragrance or Parfum is listed in the supplied INCI.

Q: Does it contain essential oils?
A: No clearly identified aromatic essential oils are listed in the supplied INCI.

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

Q: Does it contain silicones?
A: Yes. Vinyl Dimethicone is present and contributes to a smoother, more silky skin feel.

Q: Is it suitable for dry skin?
A: Yes. Its combination of humectants, emollients, lipid-based ingredients and Hyaluronic Acid derivatives makes it well suited to dry and dehydrated skin.

Q: Is it suitable for oily skin?
A: It can be suitable for oily skin that needs hydration, particularly because of its gel-cream format. However, the formula also contains richer emollients, so very oily skin may prefer a thin layer.

Q: Is it suitable for combination skin?
A: Yes. Combination skin can apply a light layer overall and add slightly more to areas that feel dehydrated or dry.

Q: Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
A: The supplied information describes it as suitable for sensitive skin and reports a 0.00 irritation-test result. It also contains no listed Fragrance or aromatic essential oils, although individual tolerance can still vary.

Q: Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
A: Acne-prone skin may use the cream if it is well tolerated, but the formula contains Isopropyl Palmitate and other emollients that may feel rich for some congestion-prone users. Patch testing or beginning with a small amount can be useful.

Q: Is Isopropyl Palmitate present?
A: Yes. Isopropyl Palmitate is listed in the supplied INCI and functions mainly as an emollient that improves softness and spreadability.

Q: Does Isopropyl Palmitate automatically make the cream comedogenic?
A: No. The presence of one ingredient cannot reliably predict whether a finished formula will clog pores for a particular person. Individual skin response and the complete formulation matter more than a single ingredient rating.

Q: Is the cream suitable for mature skin?
A: Yes. Its intensive hydration, Niacinamide and Adenosine can be particularly useful for mature skin concerned with dryness, fine dehydration lines and reduced suppleness.

Q: Can it help fine lines?
A: Hydration can temporarily soften the appearance of dehydration lines, while Adenosine supports smoother-looking skin. It should not be expected to permanently remove wrinkles.

Q: Can I use it every day?
A: Yes. It can generally be used daily in both morning and evening routines if your skin tolerates it well.

Q: Can I use it morning and night?
A: Yes. Apply a lighter layer in the morning if you are layering sunscreen and makeup, and adjust the amount in the evening according to your skin’s hydration needs.

Q: Can I use it under makeup?
A: Yes. Its lightweight gel-cream format is well suited to use under makeup. Allow it to absorb before applying sunscreen and complexion products.

Q: Can I use it with Retinol or Retinal?
A: Yes. The cream contains no listed retinoid and can be useful as a hydrating moisturizer in a Retinol or Retinal routine.

Q: Can I use it with Vitamin C?
A: Yes. It can generally be layered after a Vitamin C serum to provide hydration and help seal in moisture.

Q: Can I use it with AHA, BHA or PHA exfoliants?
A: Yes. The cream itself is not a dedicated exfoliating treatment and can help provide hydration after exfoliating products, provided your skin tolerates the overall routine.

Q: Can I use it with Niacinamide serum?
A: Yes, although the cream already contains Niacinamide, so an additional Niacinamide serum may not be necessary unless it serves another purpose in your routine.

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

Q: Do I need sunscreen when using this cream?
A: The formula does not contain a retinoid or strong exfoliating active that specifically increases the need for sun protection, but broad-spectrum sunscreen is still recommended every morning as part of a complete skincare routine.

Q: Is this cream heavy or greasy?
A: It is marketed as a lightweight gel cream designed to absorb easily without a greasy finish. Skin feel can still vary depending on skin type and how much product is applied.

Q: Can I use it instead of a sleeping mask?
A: Yes. For many skin types, a slightly more generous layer in the evening can provide sufficient overnight hydration without needing a separate sleeping mask.

Q: Where can I buy Dr.Melaxin skincare in Cyprus?
