Dr. Melaxin BP Pore Barrier Cream is a moisturizer with 49 ingredients. It has no ingredients Jouaxia flags for pregnancy. Common allergens: essential oils, alcohol denat., niacinamide.

Sensitive skin: essential oils, alcohol denat., niacinamide Why?
  • essential oils: Plant oils such as tea tree, lavender, citrus peel, and peppermint. Natural, but a common cause of irritation and allergies, especially on sensitive or broken skin.
  • alcohol denat.: Denatured alcohol, which helps products feel light and dry fast but can dry out or sting dry and sensitive skin. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are different and aren't flagged.
  • niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.

These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.
