What the gurus are saying

The exfoliating blend of PHA, BHA, and cellulose beads does work as a gentle dual-action exfoliant, but gurus flag a significant concern: the brand's marketing claims it can draw impurities from pores, which no topical product actually can do. That disconnect, paired with identical promotional claims appearing across multiple platforms, raises questions about whether the messaging is authentic. It's a functional exfoliant if you need one, but the hype around what it delivers may outpace reality.

"This Peel Shot is all over TikTok and it's overhyped. It's just a gum exfoliator, when it rolls that's mostly the product clumping with your dead skin. Yes, your skin feels smoother, but for dry skin it can strip your barrier. It was too harsh for me, I tried it and my skin ended up stinking so bad. Between this and the other peeling product I don't want to pick either one, I'll pass on this."

"This product is perfectly fine as an exfoliant. It has mild chemical exfoliants in it like PHA and BHA. And those little balls act as a gentle physical exfoliant, but it cannot draw anything out of your pores. No topical product can. I originally wanted to give Dr. Melaxin the benefit of the doubt here. [...] But given the fact that so many of these videos say pretty much the exact same thing about this product, making the exact same claims, it seems likely that it's all part of the script given to creators by the brand. [...] The brand's own promotional material shows one of those cellulose balls and says real skin or something like that when it's not. And this is all over Amazon, all over TikTok shop and what I presume is their official website."
