The Cemenrete Calcium Intense Ampoule Plus delivers a high dose of calcium directly where skin needs structural support most — targeting deep wrinkles and the loss of firmness that creeps in over time. Thirty millilitres of concentrated formula, nothing diluted, nothing wasted.
Four targeted reasons this ampoule earns a permanent spot in your routine.
Plenty of anti-ageing serums promise firmness but rely on superficial plumping agents. This ampoule uses a high-concentration calcium complex to address structural lifting at the source — no watered-down formula, no vague claims.
Based on user trials of the Dr. Melaxin Cemenrete Calcium Intense Ampoule Plus.
After cleansing and toning, dispense 2–3 drops onto your fingertips and press gently into areas of concern — focusing on cheeks, jawline, and forehead. Follow with your moisturiser to seal in the calcium actives. Use morning and evening for best results.
Building confidence with clear answers to your concerns.
For best results, apply the Cemenrete Calcium Intense Ampoule Plus twice daily — once in the morning and once in the evening as part of your regular skincare routine. Consistent use is key to seeing the firming and wrinkle-smoothing benefits build over time.
The formula is designed to be gentle while remaining highly effective. That said, if your skin is particularly reactive, we recommend doing a patch test on your inner arm for a few days before applying it to your face. If any irritation occurs, discontinue use.
It has a lightweight, watery-serum consistency that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. Skin feels smooth and slightly firmer immediately after application, making it comfortable to wear under other products.
Yes — apply it after your toner and before heavier serums or moisturisers, following the general rule of thinnest to thickest. It layers cleanly without pilling, so it works well within a multi-step routine.
Many users notice improved skin texture and a subtle tightening effect within the first week. More significant improvements in wrinkle depth and overall firmness typically become visible from around the two-week mark onward, with continued improvement over regular use.
Calcium is essential for healthy skin-cell turnover and plays a direct role in maintaining the skin's barrier integrity. As we age, calcium signalling in skin cells slows down, leading to reduced firmness and slower cell renewal. Delivering it in a high-concentration ampoule helps restore that process more effectively than trace amounts found in many general moisturisers.
It is formulated primarily for sagging skin and deep wrinkles — particularly around the cheeks, jawline, and forehead. It is also beneficial for anyone noticing a general loss of skin density or elasticity, regardless of age.
Calcium is generally compatible with most actives, including retinol, peptides, and AHAs. If you are using a strong exfoliating acid or prescription retinoid, introduce new products gradually and monitor how your skin responds. On evenings when you use a potent exfoliant, you may prefer to alternate rather than layer everything at once.
Real feedback from real customers.
I was sceptical about a calcium serum but after two weeks my jawline genuinely looks more defined. The texture is so light I forget I'm wearing it under my moisturiser. This is now a non-negotiable in my routine.
I noticed my cheeks felt firmer after just a few days — not dramatically, but enough that I kept touching my face. By the end of the second week, my partner commented on my skin without me saying anything. That's the real test.
The drooping I'd noticed along my cheekbones has softened noticeably. I apply it morning and night and it sits perfectly under my SPF without any pilling. The formula feels premium — not watery at all, but still absorbs in seconds.
Lovely product — my skin feels smoother and the texture of those deeper lines on my forehead has definitely improved. I'm giving it four stars only because I expected slightly faster results, but I know actives take time and I'm committed to continuing.
I've tried so many firming serums that felt thick and suffocating. This one is completely different — it's almost like water but your skin just tightens up as it dries. Really impressed with how well it layers too.
Good serum, solid results on texture and fine lines around my mouth. The bottle is a bit small for the price point but you only need a few drops each time so it goes further than you'd think.
My skin looked more lifted in photos — the kind of thing I notice when I compare selfies. It doesn't have a strong scent which I appreciate, and it doesn't sting or irritate even on days when my skin feels more sensitive.
I love that this is a focused formula rather than a kitchen-sink product with forty ingredients. The calcium approach makes sense to me and I can see it working — my skin has more resilience and the nasolabial area looks softer.
This ampoule is doing something real. My skin barrier feels stronger — less redness after washing my face, and my moisturiser seems to absorb better on top. The lifting is a bonus but that barrier improvement alone has me sold.
Ek was verras hoe vinnig dit intrek — literally gone in seconds with no sticky feeling. After three weeks my husband asked if I'd done something different with my skincare. The firmness along my jawline is unmistakeable now.
The serum is great for my combination skin — no breakouts, no congestion, just steady improvement in the deeper lines I've had for years. I'd like to see a slightly larger bottle but the results keep me coming back.
I've been rotating this with a vitamin C serum and the combination has genuinely changed my skin. My complexion looks brighter and more lifted at the same time. The calcium ampoule handles the structure while the vitamin C handles the glow — perfect pairing.
Nice, clean serum that does what it says. I've noticed the area under my chin looks less soft and my cheekbones seem more defined. Takes consistency but it's worth it — I'd recommend it to anyone in their late thirties or forties.
The first thing I noticed was how smooth my skin felt the morning after the first application — like something had been ironed out. A fortnight in and the results are even more visible. Absolutely worth every rand. 🙌
I've used heavier firming creams for years with so-so results. Switching to this lightweight ampoule was a revelation — the concentration of actives is clearly higher and my skin responds so much faster. The drooping around my mouth area has visibly improved.
Good product, works as described. My forehead lines look less deep and my skin feels more elastic when I pinch it — which sounds odd but I read that's a good test for collagen and elastin health. Will definitely repurchase.
