The Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Duo is a gentle yet effective Korean skincare product designed to exfoliate, brighten, and refresh your skin. The duo includes two ampoules: White Rice for daily gentle exfoliation and Black Rice for deeper, more intensive exfoliation. Using them correctly maximizes results and maintains healthy, glowing skin.
Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin
Begin with a thoroughly cleansed face. Remove all makeup, dirt, and impurities to allow the ampoules to penetrate and work effectively. Use a mild cleanser suitable for your skin type and pat your face dry with a clean towel.
Step 2: Apply the White Rice Ampoule
Dispense a few drops of the White Rice Ampoule onto your fingertips. Gently massage it onto your skin in circular motions. As you rub, you will notice the product forming small clumps—this is a characteristic of gommage-style exfoliators. These clumps help lift away dead skin cells and impurities from the surface of your skin without harsh scrubbing.
Step 3: Rinse Off
After massaging for about 30 seconds, rinse your face thoroughly with lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry gently. You should feel a smoother, refreshed texture immediately after use.
Step 4: Apply the Black Rice Ampoule (Optional)
For a deeper exfoliation or a more intensive skin treatment, use the Black Rice Ampoule. Apply a few drops and massage gently. This ampoule is more potent than the White Rice version, so it’s recommended to use it only once or twice a week, depending on your skin’s sensitivity.
Step 5: Moisturize and Protect
After exfoliating, your skin is more receptive to hydration. Apply a nourishing moisturizer or hydrating toner to restore your skin’s moisture barrier. If using the product during the day, always follow with sunscreen, as exfoliated skin is more sensitive to UV exposure.
Tips for Best Results
- Frequency of Use: The White Rice Ampoule can be used daily, while the Black Rice Ampoule is best used sparingly to prevent irritation.
- Patch Test: If you have sensitive skin or are using other active ingredients like retinoids, test the product on a small area first.
- Observe Your Skin: Stop or reduce usage if you experience redness, excessive dryness, or irritation.
- Consistency is Key: Regular use helps maintain smooth, bright, and healthy-looking skin.
By following these steps, the Dr. Melaxin Peel Shot Duo can help you achieve a radiant, smooth complexion while gently removing dead skin cells and impurities.
