Overview
Dr.Melaxin's Cactox Pore Relief Gel Cleanser is a gel-to-foam facial cleanser made by Cosmecca for pore cleansing on enlarged-looking pores, in a 4.06 fl oz (120ml) bottle with an aquatic scent. It's built for daily use across all skin types.
The formula shifts from a gel texture into a light foam on contact with water, positioning it as a step aimed specifically at pore appearance rather than a general-purpose wash. It carries a soothing benefit claim, and Cosmecca is listed as the manufacturer behind the Dr.Melaxin brand.
