I wash my skin twice a day, but had to cut back to once a day because we have hard water and despite having an expensive shower head with equally expensive filter replacements dryness always persisted. I would use gentle scrub sponges both in and out of the shower along with an oil based cleanser first and a water based cleanser second.
Every time I would think I am really getting that upper level or two of dead skin cells off my face. I had even tried a moisturizing glycolic peel pad before I applied a very moisturizing face oil or moisturizer. Everything always felt right and soft and supple until I went to apply makeup. I don't wear makeup all of the time but when I do it is minimal and the evidence of dead skin was still on my face. The little dry patches I would have bet a million dollars were gone every time were always there making my sking look blotchy and like I just had no idea how to apply foundation or tinted moisturizer or a mineral powder. Nothing freaking helped!
Enter Dr. Melaxin...
I don't watch tick tock, I am not a die hard try all the new stuff cause everybody says it works type of woman. I did however know that my Korean body scrub mitt was pretty awesome and I saw a review that described this product the same way but WITHOUT the harshness on your face so why not give it a go? I was already so frustrated and this wasn't to expensive so why the hell not.
RESULT:
As my skin ages I will adapt my products to what my skin needs always because its a vital organ. I can say however that Peel Shot is now a permanent part of my routine. I would use this even if I had no other cleansers for my face. It is gentle and it works like nothing else I have ever used. The resurfacing I get is mind blowing to me. I wish I could give this 20 stars. I really do. I can't even describe how amazing it feels and how well moisturizer, primer, face oil, etc. absorb after using this stuff.
Peel Shot is gentle enough to use everyday on face and body, but I use it for my face mostly. TIP: Make sure to get a good amount, like a quarter size in your hand and really rub it in. You will know you are doing it correctly when you see white peels of dead skin cells roll up under your fingers on your face. It may sound odd, like you are scrubbing too much off but I promise you that your are not! Your face always has waaaayyy more dead skin than you think and this is so gentle it is phenomenal!!!
UPDATE
I wanted to come back and give an update on my review because this product honestly deserves it.
I'm about to turn 36 this year, and for the past few years I’ve been trying everything to deal with the dry, flaky layer on my face—without feeling like I needed a literal sandblaster to get results.
I’ve always taken care of my skin. I was washing twice a day, but had to cut back to once daily because of hard water issues. Even with an expensive filtered shower head, the dryness never fully went away. I tried gentle exfoliating sponges, double cleansing (oil-based first, then water-based), and even glycolic peel pads followed by rich moisturizers and face oils.
Every single time, my skin would feel soft and smooth… until I applied makeup.
That’s when reality hit. Those stubborn dry patches were STILL there. My makeup would look uneven and blotchy, like I didn’t know what I was doing—even though I kept my routine minimal and careful. It was honestly frustrating beyond words.
Then I found this.
I’m not someone who jumps on trends or buys products just because they’re hyped online. But I had used a Korean exfoliating mitt before and loved the concept, so when I saw something similar designed for the face—but gentler—I figured, why not? At that point, I had nothing to lose.
And wow… I’m so glad I tried it.
This has completely changed my skincare routine. The difference in how my skin feels—and more importantly, how it looks—is unbelievable. It gently removes that top layer of dead skin in a way nothing else ever has for me. My skin feels smooth, refreshed, and actually prepped to absorb everything I put on afterward.
Moisturizer, primer, face oil—everything goes on better. Makeup finally looks the way it’s supposed to.
This is now a permanent staple for me. No question.
Tip: Use a generous amount (about a quarter-sized) and really work it into your skin. You’ll start to see the dead skin roll up under your fingers. It might feel strange at first, but don’t worry—it’s incredibly gentle, and your skin will feel amazing afterward.
If I could give this more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. This is hands down one of the best skincare products I’ve ever used.
