Dr.MELAXIN EXOSOME REPAIR TONER

What is this product?

A 300 ml watery toner from Dr.MELAXIN sold from the brand's own store as a one-day member deal. Its statutory block lists 51 entries led by water, methylpropanediol, dipropylene glycol and butylene glycol, with niacinamide at item 6 (the label prints 2 percent) and adenosine at item 20. The page says the product is a functional cosmetic for whitening and wrinkle improvement and sells a patented centella-derived exosome ingredient at a printed 10,000ppm, but no list entry carries an exosome name, no pH is printed, and no fragrance entry is on the list.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it. First, the page pairs a niacinamide entry at a printed 2 percent with an adenosine entry under a yes-answered functional notice, in a 300 ml watery toner with no exfoliating acid entry. Second, its headline ingredient, a patented centella-derived exosome at 10,000ppm on the label, cannot be located on the 51-entry printed list, and a 2023 irritation sheet shows an index of 0.00 without a subject count.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
