Dr. Melaxin Kojic Acid Turmeric Serum Soap offers innovative Korean skincare that combines cleansing the skin of oil and impurities, enhancing radiance, improving the appearance of pigmentation and dark spots, and evening out skin tone in a single step. It features a flexible, highly viscous serum texture that helps adhere to the skin’s surface and uneven areas, enhancing the removal of dirt and fine buildup from pores. When water is added, it transforms into a gentle lather that leaves the skin feeling clean, soft, and refreshed, while supporting a clearer, more even appearance for the face and body.
Its formula features a blend of kojic acid, turmeric root extract, niacinamide, and a vitamin C derivative to support skin radiance and address the appearance of dullness and uneven tone, along with panthenol, bisabolol, and sodium hyaluronate to help moisturize and soothe the skin. It also contains four plant oils, including coconut, olive, sunflower, and castor oils, to help improve softness during cleansing. It is made using the Cold Process method and allowed to cure for approximately 4 to 5 weeks, giving it a distinctive texture that combines the flexibility of a serum with the properties of traditional soap, providing suitable care for dull skin prone to pigmentation and impurities.

- Panthenol: Helps moisturize the skin, support its natural barrier, and reduce feelings of dryness and tightness after washing.

- Dull body skin: Suitable for cleansing areas with uneven tone and surface roughness.
- Uneven skin texture: Helps remove surface buildup and improve the feeling of softness.
- Dry skin: Use with caution, as traditional soap may increase tightness; reduce frequency and moisturize after use.
- Sensitive skin: Use with caution after a tolerance test, especially because it contains fragrance, bitter orange peel oil, and fragrance components.
Guidelines and Precautions:
- For external use only: Use to cleanse the face and body, avoiding contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
- Avoid vigorous rubbing: Gently massaging the skin with the serum texture or lather is sufficient; do not apply pressure or use harsh exfoliating tools.
- Do not leave the soap on the skin for extended periods: It is a cleansing product designed to be rinsed off, not a mask or leave-on brightening serum.
- Contains fragrance, bitter orange peel oil, and fragrance components such as limonene and linalool; test for tolerance before use if you have known sensitivities to these ingredients.
- Do not use on broken, severely irritated, or cracked skin, and avoid applying it immediately after hair removal if the area is sensitive.
- Monitor hydration levels: If dryness, tightness, or peeling occurs, reduce the frequency of use or switch to a gentler cleanser.
- When using retinol, exfoliating acids, or drying acne treatments, avoid over-cleansing to reduce the likelihood of skin irritation.
- Use sunscreen daily: Protection from ultraviolet rays is essential for addressing the appearance of pigmentation and preventing dark spots from worsening.
- The soap does not reliably treat deep melasma or medical pigmentation, and results in improving color may vary depending on your skin type, the cause of the pigmentation, and the duration of use.
- Keep the soap dry between uses: Place it on a soap dish that allows water to drain to maintain its texture and quality, and keep it away from heat, direct sunlight, and children.
