Dr Melaxin Cemenrete Calcium Volume Multi Balm Review – Fine Line Care

Dr Melaxin is a skincare brand famous for their anti-aging formulas and innovative ingredients. Specializing in fine line care, they create products that give an intense boost to moisture, promote collagen protection and give tighter and firmer skin. The heralded skincare line that they specialize in is their Cemenrete skincare line. These formulas are designed to revitalize your skin biome, firm and enhance structure for improved skin appearance. 

So how does this work? What makes Dr Melaxin is special is its use of calcium. This balm is infused with calcium carbonate, which helps strengthen the skin barrier, sealing in moisture and preventing water loss for softer and plumper skin appearance. This is boosted with radiant vitamin C, snow mushroom extract and boosting collagen and elastin. This is all condensed into this balm format, for careful line care and filling of under-eye for improved glow. 

Does it actually work? Let's put it to the test to see if Dr Melaxin has actually unlocked the secret to deep fine line care and improving your skin quality.

Capric Triglyceride: hydrating solvent extracted from coconut oil, forming the base of this rich balm. It helps seal in moisture, protect skin from external irritants and keeps skin hydrated for overnight care. 

Meadowfoam seed oil: revitalizing, hydrating agent rich in antioxidants that help protect against collagen damage and helps provide deep protection for your skin biome, for clearer and brighter skin. 

Macadamia seed oil: soothing hydration that helps improve skin cell function, cools redness and high in omega-7 for softer, firmer skin texture. 

Adenosine: restorative molecule that stimulates collagen production in skin cells, boosts cell proliferation to prevent thinning and helps smooth fine lines around the eyes and mouth. 

Sea buckthorn extract: radiant marine plant high in a variety of vitamins (especially vitamin C), which provides healing antioxidants, vanishes dark spots and reduces presence of photo-aging. 

Pau d’Arco tree bark extract: gently hydrating agent that helps reduce redness, irritation and flaking. A traditional medicine for healing damaged skin and improving texture. 

Snow mushroom extract: resilient, moisture-rich extract that provides in-depth hydration of your skin barrier, boosting fine lines and stimulating collagen production. 

Alkanet bark extract: soothing antibacterial extract that helps reduce skin injury and promote healing for softer, clearer skin texture. 

Vitamin E: nourishing and hydrating vitamin that helps soften and reduce UV damage to skin barrier for refreshed, smoother and relaxed skin.

Calcium Carbonate: helps restore skin barrier function, improve cell turnover and help prevent water loss for firmer, stronger and restored skin appearance.

Collagen extract: large, complex molecule that helps seal the outside skin barrier for deep moisture retention, creating a protective layer that infuses deep hydration and improves appearance of fine lines. 

Hydrolyzed elastin: improves skin hydration and firmness, by infusing healing peptides that help improve skin moisture and reduces sagging appearance of skin. 

This nourishing, hydrating balm is designed to perfectly enhance dry skin and deep fine lines and wrinkles.

This means it is not typically well suited to oily skin types or acne-spots, with a variety of ingredients likely to trigger an outbreak. This balm provides a enhanced, protective barrier that helps prevent moisture loss to reduce appearance of fine lines, thus is not well suited to skin that's already abundant in oils.

This balm is highly famous in South Korea and its spread to Australia has been slower. It's a rich, protective balm that provides targeted relief to fine lines around your face and is best used at the end of your routine to seal in your other skincare products. I have sensitive skin and fine lines and extra moisture is always welcome.

I added this balm to my evening (PM) routine, as the final step - to highlight and protect areas of fine lines (under eye, forehead and around my mouth). It's an incredibly lightweight, buttery balm that melts into the skin as you use it. Despite being so moisturizing, it's incredibly lightweight and once you apply it, you can't feel it. 

After just two weeks of use, you can see the improvement of skin hydration and firmness. It helped even skin and really reduced the puffiness around my eyes. It was a great tool to improve fine lines and helped prevent moisture loss overnight like a targeted barrier cream. Giving a spot treatment of fine lines helped give a new level of radiance and I loved using it in my routine.

I would really recommend it for users who are looking for a gentle format for improving fine lines (especially if you find harsher treatments too irritating - such as retinol or microneedling). The use of calcium, blended with soothing botanical oils gives a soft, but powerful protective barrier which elevates it for restorative, daily treatment.

This balm is a great, gentle and effective treatment to help boost fine lines and soothe skin irritation. It helps improve skin texture and heal skin over time, making it well suited for sensitive skin types and dry skin.
