I was sceptical about a peel-off sleeping mask but this genuinely won me over. Peeled off in one satisfying sheet and my skin looked noticeably more even the next morning. 😍

Why you'll love it
Wake up to skin that did the work while you slept
The Dr. Melaxin TX Astaxanthin Overnight Wrapping Peel-Off Mask turns your sleep into a full skin-renewal session — wrapping your face in a film-forming gel rich in astaxanthin that locks in moisture, smooths texture, and supports an even, luminous tone. Come morning, peel it away and greet genuinely refreshed skin.
Four overnight wins in one mask
Each ingredient earns its place — no filler, no fluff.
Tone Refinement
Astaxanthin's potent antioxidant action targets uneven tone so skin looks clearer and more uniform by morning.
Intense Hydration
The gel formula creates a moisture-sealing barrier that keeps skin plump and supple through the night.
Texture Smoothing
Fine-line-blurring actives leave the surface noticeably softer and more refined after just one use.
Firming Support
Skin-tightening ingredients work with astaxanthin to improve elasticity, so skin feels firmer over consistent use.
How it stacks up
Not your average sleeping mask
Most overnight masks ask you to rinse — this one peels away cleanly, taking dead surface cells with it and leaving nothing but fresh, glowing skin behind.

How to use
Apply, sleep, peel — that's genuinely it
After your evening skincare routine, smooth a generous layer across your face, avoiding the eye and lip area, and leave it on overnight. In the morning, gently peel from the edges inward, then follow with your usual toner or moisturiser to seal in the results.
Your questions, answered
Building confidence with clear answers to your concerns.
How often should I use this mask?
Two to three times per week is the sweet spot for most skin types. If your skin is on the drier or more sensitive side, start with twice a week and see how your complexion responds before increasing frequency.
Is this mask safe for sensitive skin?
The formula is designed to be gentle, but if your skin is reactive we'd suggest doing a patch test on your inner arm the night before your first full-face application. Leave it on for the same duration you'd use on your face, and check for any reaction in the morning.
What does the mask feel like when it dries?
It sets into a flexible, film-like layer — snug but not tight or uncomfortable. Most users describe it as feeling like a second skin rather than the rigid, cracking sensation you might get with clay masks.
Can I layer this over serums and moisturisers?
Yes — apply it as the final step in your evening routine, after any serums, essences, or light moisturisers. It acts as the occlusive layer that seals everything beneath it in while you sleep.
How long before I see results?
Many users notice softer, more radiant skin from the very first peel-off. For more meaningful improvements in tone and firmness, consistent use over two to four weeks tends to deliver the most visible shift.
What makes astaxanthin special in a sleeping mask?
Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants available in skincare — significantly stronger than vitamin C or vitamin E in neutralising free radicals. Overnight is the ideal time to deliver it, since skin is in active repair mode and there's no UV exposure to contend with.
What skin concerns does this target?
It's formulated primarily for dullness, uneven skin tone, dehydration, and early signs of ageing like fine lines and a loss of firmness. It's also a great reset mask after a particularly late night or a long week.
Does the mask leave any residue after peeling?
When peeled off correctly — slowly and from the edges — it comes away cleanly in one or a few large pieces. A quick splash of cool water or a swipe of toner removes any remaining trace, leaving skin feeling clear and comfortable.

The texture when you apply it is really luxurious — almost gel-jelly — and it dries into this comfortable second-skin film. Woke up with the plumpest cheeks I've had in ages.

Takes a good 30 minutes to fully set, so plan ahead before you sleep. Once it's on though, the morning result — smooth, dewy skin — makes the wait totally worth it.

My hyperpigmentation around my cheeks looks less pronounced after using this consistently for three weeks. The astaxanthin is doing something real, not just marketing.

I love that it peels off cleanly and takes the dullness with it. My skin looked bright enough that my colleague asked what I'd been doing differently.

Really hydrating — my skin felt like it had been given a long drink of water by morning. I do wish the tube was a bit bigger given how much I want to use it, but the results are there.

The peel-off moment is genuinely satisfying and my skin afterwards feels baby-soft. No redness, no tightness — just clean and glowy.

This is now a non-negotiable in my weekly routine. Skin texture has smoothed out noticeably and my foundation sits so much better on the days after I use it.

I have combination skin and was worried it might clog my pores but it's been absolutely fine. The film peels away cleanly and leaves my T-zone looking less congested.

Skin looked visibly firmer after the first few uses — that slight sagging feeling around my jaw area felt tighter. Genuinely impressed with how well this works.

I use it after a long week and it's like a reset button for my skin. The glow the next morning is real — not greasy, just healthy-looking radiance.

It has a very subtle, clean scent that I find quite pleasant — not overpowering at all. Skin felt softer and more even after the first peel, which I didn't expect so quickly.

The astaxanthin content is what drew me in and I'm glad I tried it. Dark spots look lighter after consistent use and my overall complexion has a warmth and brightness it was missing.

This has become my favourite Friday-night ritual — slap it on, watch something, peel it off before bed. Skin is always glowing on Saturday morning without fail.

My girlfriend introduced me to this and I've been using it ever since. My skin is smoother and my pores look tighter — didn't think a sleeping mask would make that much difference.

Takes some practice to get the right layer thickness — too thin and it's hard to peel, too thick and it takes forever to dry. Once you find the sweet spot the results are really good.

I have dry, easily irritated skin and this hasn't caused a single flare-up. Feels deeply nourishing and the tone-evening effect over a fortnight has been genuinely noticeable.
