Kojic Acid 100ppmAHA + BHA + PHA2-in-1 Exfoliate + Brighten

Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Kojic Acid Turmeric Serum 80ml

A 2-in-1 gommage peeling serum that exfoliates dead skin and fades dark spots in a single step - powered by kojic acid, turmeric, and a triple AHA/BHA/PHA exfoliant blend.

Exfoliation and brightening in one step. While the gommage formula rolls away dead skin cells, kojic acid and turmeric root extract penetrate to inhibit melanin production and reduce existing pigmentation - delivering smoother, more even-toned skin from the very first use.

What it does

Gommage peeling with AHA, BHA, and PHA
Cellulose physically bonds to dead skin cells and sebum during massage, rolling them off without abrasion. Glycolic acid (AHA) dissolves the surface bonds between dead cells, salicylic acid (BHA) clears congestion inside pores, and gluconolactone (PHA) provides the gentlest chemical exfoliation with added hydration - a three-layer system that covers every type of skin buildup.
Fades dark spots with Kojic Acid and Turmeric
Kojic acid inhibits tyrosinase - the enzyme responsible for melanin production - to visibly reduce existing dark spots and prevent new pigmentation from forming. Turmeric root extract (curcumin) adds potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity, accelerating the fading of post-acne marks and sun-triggered discoloration.
Brightens instantly with Niacinamide and Vitamin C
Niacinamide blocks melanin transfer between skin cells for a broad brightening effect, while Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) adds antioxidant protection and luminosity. Together they amplify the kojic acid brightening system and deliver a visible glow immediately after rinsing.
Hydrates and soothes during exfoliation
Triple hyaluronic acid (full weight, hydrolyzed, and sodium hyaluronate), panthenol (Vitamin B5), and centella asiatica extract keep skin comfortable and moisturized throughout the peeling process - so skin emerges softer and more nourished, not stripped or sensitized.

How to use

1. Apply an appropriate amount to dry, clean skin and avoid the eye area. 
2. Massage gently in circular motions for 1 to 2 minutes - dead skin cells and sebum will begin to roll off as small residue, which is the gommage peeling working. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
3. Follow with toner and moisturizer. Use 2 to 3 times per week depending on your skin's needs.

Important: Apply SPF the morning after use. Exfoliation increases UV sensitivity, so daily sun protection is essential to protect freshly brightened skin and prevent new pigmentation from forming.

Quick FAQs

How is this different from the White Rice Peel Shot?
Both use the same gommage peeling mechanism with AHA, BHA, and PHA. The White Rice version focuses on pore refinement, sebum control, and hydration using rice bran water. This Kojic Acid Turmeric version adds a dedicated brightening layer - targeting dark spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone with kojic acid and turmeric extract. Choose the Rice version for pore and texture concerns, and this one for active pigmentation correction.
Is kojic acid safe for sensitive skin?
At the 100ppm concentration in this formula, kojic acid is considered well-tolerated for most skin types. The inclusion of panthenol, centella asiatica, and soothing botanicals helps counterbalance any potential sensitivity. If you have very reactive skin, do a patch test before full application and start with once per week use.

When will I see brightening results?
The exfoliation delivers an immediate improvement in skin radiance after the first use, as fresh skin is revealed. Visible fading of dark spots and more even skin tone typically develops over 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use 2 to 3 times per week. Pairing with daily SPF significantly accelerates results by preventing new UV-triggered pigmentation.
