Dr. Melaxen TX Astaxanthin Encapsulated 3X Overnight Mask for Pigmentation Reduction and Radiance Enhancement is a Korean gel-textured sleeping mask that forms a thin, peel-off film over the skin, designed to work overnight to hydrate the skin, improve the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, even out skin tone, and enhance softness and radiance. The encapsulating film helps to seal in moisture and ingredients used at the end of the routine, so the skin appears softer, plumper, and more vibrant in the morning.
Its triple 3X formula relies on Tranexamic Acid, Astaxanthin, and Niacinamide to address dullness, uneven tone, and the appearance of melasma and recurrent spots, along with Glutathione, Resveratrol, Vitamin E, and Sea Lily extract to support radiance and antioxidant care. It also contains Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Collagen Extract to help hydrate the skin and improve its softness and elasticity.

How to Use:
- Cleanse skin and complete your nightly routine with toner, serum, and cream.
- Use the mask as the last step and spread an even layer over the entire face.
- Avoid the eye area, lips, eyebrows, and hairline.
- Leave the mask for approximately 20 minutes until it is completely dry and forms a coherent layer.
- Leave the layer on the skin overnight without washing it off.
- In the morning, gently peel off the film from the edges without pulling the skin strongly.
- Rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove any residue, then follow with your morning routine.
Max Beauty Usage Tips:
- It is recommended to apply the mask as the last step after the cream has absorbed slightly, so that the layer forms evenly.
- Use a medium layer; a very thin layer may tear during removal, while a thick layer takes longer to dry.
- Keep the product away from eyebrows and hairline so it does not stick to hair when removing the film.
- Do not sleep before the mask is completely dry to help prevent it from transferring to the pillow.
- If the layer does not peel off easily in the morning, dampen it with lukewarm water and wash it off instead of pulling the skin.
- Start by using it twice a week, then adjust the frequency according to skin tolerance and needs.
- For sensitive skin, avoid using it on the same night as retinol or strong exfoliants.
- Use sunscreen daily, as sun protection is essential to prevent exacerbation of pigmentation.
- Test a small amount before full use due to the presence of fragrance and the peel-off film formula.
