I've tried so many K-beauty cleansers and this one has genuinely changed my evening routine. It melts off my sunscreen and light foundation in one go, and my skin feels cushioned rather than stripped afterwards. Absolutely keeping this on repeat.

The cleanser that melts away the day without stripping your skin
Dr. Melaxin's Deep Clean Melting Bubble Cleanser starts as a lightweight gel and bursts into a dense, cushiony foam the moment it meets water — drawing out makeup, oil, and daily grime in seconds. You're left with skin that's genuinely clean, not squeaky or uncomfortable.
Pore-deep clean, every single day
Four reasons this cleanser earns its place in your daily routine.
Not your average foam cleanser
Most foam cleansers do one job passably. This one does all of them well — and your skin actually feels good afterwards.

Thirty seconds to genuinely clean skin
Wet your face, then dispense a small amount of cleanser into damp palms and work it into a foam before massaging gently over your face in circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water — morning and evening for best results, or whenever your skin needs a reset.
Your questions, answered
Building confidence with clear answers to your concerns.
How often should I use this cleanser?
It's designed for daily use — morning and evening. The formula is gentle enough to use twice a day without disrupting your skin barrier, so you can make it a permanent fixture in your routine.
Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes — the formula is gentle and free from harsh actives that tend to irritate reactive skin. That said, if your skin is particularly sensitised or you have a diagnosed condition, it's always a good idea to patch-test any new product on a small area first.
Will it completely remove a full face of makeup?
It handles light to medium makeup well in a single cleanse. If you've worn heavy or waterproof makeup, we'd recommend using a dedicated oil cleanser or micellar water first, then following up with this as your second cleanse for a thorough finish.
What does the foam texture feel like on skin?
The gel transforms into a dense, pillowy foam that feels cushioning rather than harsh — almost like washing your face with a soft cloud. It rinses clean without any residue and leaves skin feeling comfortable, not squeaky or tight.
Can I layer my usual toner and serum straight after?
Absolutely — that's exactly how it's meant to be used. Rinse, pat dry, and go straight into your toner or essence. Because it doesn't strip the skin, your next products absorb well without any barrier interference.
How quickly can I expect to see a difference in my skin?
Most people notice their skin looks cleaner and feels softer from the very first use. With consistent twice-daily cleansing, pores tend to look less congested and the complexion generally looks more even within a fortnight.
What skin concerns does this cleanser target?
It's particularly effective for oily or combination skin prone to congestion, enlarged pores, and dullness from daily buildup. It's also a great fit for anyone who wears makeup regularly and wants a single step that handles cleansing properly.
How much product do I need per use?
A small amount — roughly the size of a five-rand coin — is plenty. Work it into your damp palms first to build the foam before applying it to your face. This gets the most out of every pump and ensures an even, thorough lather.
Loved by our customers
Real feedback from real customers.
The gel-to-foam action is so satisfying — it lathers up into this dense, soft cloud and rinses completely clean. My pores look noticeably less congested after a fortnight of using it morning and evening. 😍
Really lovely texture and my skin feels comfortable straight after rinsing. I still use a separate micellar water for my mascara beforehand, but as a second cleanse it's genuinely one of the best I've tried.
My combination skin is so hard to balance — most cleansers either leave me feeling oily or tight. This one somehow manages both: properly clean but with moisture still intact. I'm impressed.
It's become my favourite step in my whole skincare routine, which I didn't expect from a cleanser. The foam is so luxurious, and my skin glows a little after rinsing — none of that grey dullness I used to wake up with.
Good, thorough clean without any irritation on my fairly reactive skin. The foam is light but effective, and I like that a small amount goes a long way. Would prefer a pump dispenser but the product itself is excellent.
I was sceptical about a bubble cleanser actually doing anything for my clogged pores, but after two weeks my skin looks noticeably smoother and the congestion on my nose has reduced. Really glad I gave it a shot.
Squeaky-clean skin without that tightness I used to dread — this cleanser finally solved a problem I didn't think had a solution. My skin barrier feels intact and I go straight into my actives without any stinging.
The scent is subtle and clean, nothing overpowering, which I really appreciate. It removes a full day of SPF and light coverage in one gentle massage, and my face feels genuinely fresh when I'm done.
Solid everyday cleanser that does exactly what it promises. My skin is less congested than it was and the foam texture makes it feel more premium than the price suggests. Would recommend to anyone with oily skin.
This cleanser is the unsung hero of my K-beauty shelf. Consistent use means my complexion looks more even and my makeup sits better — I think it's because my pores are actually clean for once.
I've repurchased this twice already, which tells you everything. The foam is dense and creamy, it clears everything off my face, and I wake up the next morning with genuinely clearer-looking skin.
Good value for the quality. The lather is thick and rinses off completely — no filmy residue left behind. My skin feels balanced rather than over-cleansed, which is a win in my books.
I switched to this as my morning cleanser and the difference in how my skin looks by midday is remarkable. Less shine, fewer clogged pores, and my toner absorbs faster than it used to. Properly impressed.
My skin is sensitive and prone to redness, and this is one of the gentlest foam cleansers I've found that still actually cleanses. No flare-ups, no tightness — just clean, calm skin.
The bubble texture is so fun to use that I actually look forward to washing my face now. More importantly, my skin looks brighter and feels softer than it did with my old drugstore cleanser.
Really nice everyday cleanser — the foam is soft and smells fresh without being perfumed. I'd love it if it was slightly better at removing heavy SPF in one pass, but as part of a double cleanse it's perfect.
I started using this as my PM cleanser and within a fortnight the texture of my skin improved noticeably. Smoother to the touch, and the congestion along my jawline has calmed down significantly.
This is the cleanser I recommend to everyone who asks about starting K-beauty. It's approachable, effective, and gentle — exactly what a daily cleanser should be. My mum is now using it too.
Beautifully clean skin every single time with zero irritation. The foam is rich enough to feel thorough but dissolves so quickly in water that rinsing takes seconds. My evening routine has genuinely never felt this good.
