⚡ Quick answer
Dr. Melaxin Calcium Multi Balm Stick is a handy balm stick with collagen extract and adenosine, formulated to feel non-greasy despite its plant-oil base. People use it as a quick wrinkle stick for fine lines and for makeup prep, since it helps concealer sit better over the under-eye area. It is not a Botox substitute. At $19 for 9 g, it’s good for touch-ups but expensive per gram.
Dr. Melaxin Calcium Multi Balm Stick
- Type: Swivel balm stick
- Best for: Dry under-eyes, smile lines, neck
- Key ingredients: Rebornic calcium complex, adenosine, hydrolyzed elastin, collagen extract, glutathione, plant oils

Key Features
The brand’s best-known product. A solid balm stick you glide over fine lines and dry patches, with no fingers or mess. It fits in a pocket for top-ups during the day.
How to Use
Twist up a little and glide over the under-eye area, smile lines, forehead or neck after skincare. Pat in gently. You can use it over makeup to smooth dry spots.
Results

Naming decoder
Cemenrete, Stick and Multi Balm: the names explained
“Dr Melaxin stick”, “calcium balm”, “Cemenrete Calcium Multi Balm” and “Calcium Volume Multi Balm” all describe the same 9 g stick. The Cactox Pore Relief Multi Balm ($23 at Ulta) is a different product for pores. If a store sells a “calcium stick” in another size, check it with our real vs fake guide before you buy.

Is the calcium stick really like Botox?
No. Botox relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines. Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Danielle Liu points out that nothing in this balm acts on muscle contraction. What it does: hydrate, soften the look of fine lines, and give a smooth base.
Adenosine has reasonable evidence for the look of wrinkles and skin tone. Topical calcium and the Rebornic complex have little independent research outside the brand (Rebornic is a supplier-published ingredient listing, not a clinical study). (This stick’s listed ingredients — Rebornic calcium complex, adenosine, hydrolyzed elastin, collagen extract, glutathione, plant oils — do not include niacinamide; always check the INCI on your own box.)
Pros and cons
What the calcium balm is good for, and common complaints
👍 Good for
- Dry under-eyes and smile lines during the day.
- Prepping under concealer so it doesn’t crease or cake.
- Quick touch-ups from your bag.
👎 Common complaints
- Small size runs out fast for the price.
- Results are hydration-level, not lifting.
- Ratings outside the brand’s own store are much lower: 3.5/5 on Ulta vs 4.8/5 on the brand store.
How to use
How to use the Dr. Melaxin calcium balm
- Apply after moisturizer, or over sunscreen in the morning.
- Glide lightly under the eyes, over smile lines, or on the forehead or neck; don’t drag the skin.
- Pat in with a fingertip, then apply makeup.
- Reapply during the day as needed.
For a bigger event, pair it with the Calcium Volume Eye Patch ($26 at Ulta): patch first, balm after. See where it fits in our Dr. Melaxin routine order guide.
Don’t confuse these
The calcium balm stick is a single swivel stick for dry under-eyes and smile lines. Dr. Melaxin also sells a separate purple “Calcium Bonding” line (serum, facial cream, eye cream, toner) for firming — different products, different jobs. See our safety guide and where to buy page before mixing routines.
Conclusion
Final thoughts: a nice stick, priced like a luxury
The Calcium Multi Balm is a convenient hydrator, formulated to feel non-greasy despite its plant-oil base, that makes under-eye concealer behave. That’s useful, and it explains the brand-store fans.
It is not Botox, and at about $2 per gram it costs more than a regular eye cream doing similar work. Buy it for convenience, not for a lift. Want visible texture change instead? Read our Peel Shot review.
