Dr.Melaxin TX Peeling Tranexamic Acid Toner 150mL

Dark spots that concealers can't hide. Uneven patches that foundation only makes more obvious. Rough texture that tells your age before your face does.

Korean derma-cosmetic science has a direct answer — and it begins at the cellular turnover level.

Dr.MELAXIN TX Peeling Toner

A dual-layer exfoliating toner built on patented Tranexamic Acid — for skin that refuses to stay dull.

Most brightening toners pick one exfoliant and hope for the best. The TX Peeling Toner stacks four — AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA — in a mildly acidic (pH ~5) base with patented Tranexamic Acid (TX) to interrupt melanin overproduction at the source, not just on the surface. The result is exfoliation that resurfaces, brightens, and soothes in a single step.

Our Licensed Korean Pharmacist & Certified Cosmetic Formulation Manager personally reviewed the TX Peeling Toner's multi-acid matrix and confirmed its safety-to-efficacy profile. "Four acids in one formula sounds aggressive — the science here is that LHA and PHA do the heavy lifting on sensitive skin before AHA and BHA reach deeper layers. The pH is controlled so the acids activate without over-stripping."

What You Notice First

"I've tried brightening toners before. They either burned, or did nothing. I don't understand why nothing works on my pigmentation."

The answer isn't strength — it's mechanism. Most AHA toners exfoliate the surface but leave melanin-signaling pathways untouched. Tranexamic Acid works upstream: it blocks UV-induced activation of plasmin, which triggers melanocytes to overproduce pigment. The result is that new dark spots form more slowly even as existing ones fade.

Our cosmetic formulation manager and pharmacist specifically highlighted this dual mechanism: "Tranexamic Acid doesn't just brighten — it interrupts the melanin cascade. Combined with Glutathione and Niacinamide in this formula, you're addressing pigmentation from three different angles simultaneously."

Who It's For

Unexpected Use

The TX Peeling Toner doubles as a pre-mask prep step.

Applied on a cotton pad and swept across the face 2 minutes before a sheet mask, the multi-acid complex clears cellular debris that prevents active ingredients from penetrating efficiently. The mask's brightening or hydrating actives deliver significantly better results when the surface is freshly swept. Esthetics professionals use this two-step approach to maximize treatment outcomes.

This is why professional esthetic studios stock it — not just skincare enthusiasts.

Why Our Pharmacist Chose This

Licensed Korean Pharmacist & Certified Cosmetic Formulation Manager — The multi-acid formulation is technically precise: by combining AHA, BHA, PHA, and LHA at approximately pH 5, each acid activates without competing. Tranexamic Acid functions synergistically with Niacinamide and Glutathione to address pigmentation via three distinct biochemical pathways, making this one of the most mechanistically comprehensive brightening toners in the Korean cosmetic market. The six-form Hyaluronic Acid complex ensures hydration is not compromised during the exfoliation cycle.
