Melaxin
Set name: KOJIC, Set name: KOJIC
I’ve been using the Melaxin Body Keratin Care Kojic Acid Turmeric treatment, and I’m honestly impressed with how it has improved my skin texture and tone. This product combines kojic acid and turmeric, which are known for helping brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of dark spots. It also contains keratin and other nourishing ingredients that leave my skin feeling soft, smooth, and hydrated.  After a few uses, I noticed my skin looked more even and radiant, especially in areas like my arms and elbows. It gently exfoliates and helps remove dead skin without causing irritation, which is great for sensitive skin.  The formula feels lightweight and easy to apply, and I love that it can target hard-to-reach areas depending on the format (spray or serum).  Overall, this is a great body care product if you’re looking to brighten your skin, smooth texture, and get a healthy glow. Definitely worth trying!

Life saver for your skin
Set name: KOJIC
I was skeptical before buying this. my skin dries out so quickly and lotions is just a temporary fix for dry skin. I was amazed that the first time I used it all the dry skin was peeling off such a simple solution. I’ll never be without it now you have to try it to believe it.

Good product
Set name: KOJIC
I have used 1/2 bottle since December. Easy to use on dry skin, I use it before showering. I Probably don’t use it enough, simply because I forget. I have had dry peeling skin on my forehead recently and thought, oh I should use it there. I have to say, it made a big difference. One use and the dry skin came off and my forehead looks much better. I was having a hard time with makeup looking splotchy and now it goes on smooth.

Makes the skin smooth and soft
Set name: KOJIC
The product is wonderful. The first time I used it, it took off alot of the dead skin on my feet. Better than the "egg" or pumas stone. And bonus my hands are rough to and while rubbing on feet it rubbed off my hands as well and the hands are smoother too. NICE. Has a vick's vapor rub smell to it. Not overly strong. Im looking forward to having my feet smooth for the first time, ever!!! The only thing is the bottle it comes in. I could not get the sprayer to work. The off button worked beautifully but the on button did not work. When on it pumped but nothing came out. I even had my family and friends try to get it to work, but to no avail. So I put it in another spray bottle which worked and it was fine. Love the product!

Works great,smells like Noxema
Set name: KOJIC
This is a great exfoliater. I use it once a week from face to toes. The smell reminds me of Noxema wich I'm not fond of but it's dose rinse off well. Works on both wet and dry skin wich I like better than a different brand which only works on dry skin.
