best matrixyl® 3000 pairing ingredients :

Argireline = ✅ Matrixyl
Argireline is a peptide that helps relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles like crow's feet and forehead lines. When combined with Matrixyl, which supports the skin’s natural repair processes and enhances skin firmness, the duo delivers a powerful anti-aging effect. Together, they can smooth out both static and dynamic wrinkles, making the skin appear firmer, younger, and more rejuvenated.

How to layer Argireline with Matrixyl:

  1. Argireline first – Apply Argireline to clean skin, focusing on areas prone to dynamic wrinkles like around the eyes and forehead. Allow it to absorb fully.
  2. Matrixyl second – Follow with Matrixyl to enhance skin firmness and target both static and dynamic wrinkles, making the skin appear more youthful.

  • Hylauronic Acid = ✅ Matrixyl
    Our major ingredient, Hylauronic Acid, aids in the binding of water to collagen, retaining it in the skin for a plumper, more hydrated appearance. Our supercharged serum is designed to moisturise the skin while also combating visible signs of ageing and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

    How to layer Hyaluronic acid with Matrixyl:

    1. Hyaluronic Acid first – Apply Hyaluronic Acid on freshly cleansed, slightly damp skin. It helps draw moisture into the skin, enhancing hydration.
    2. Matrixyl second – Once the Hyaluronic Acid has absorbed, follow up with your Matrixyl serum to support skin firmness and target fine lines and wrinkles.


  • Niacinamide = ✅ Matrixyl

    Yes, mixing niacinamide and peptides is perfectly safe.
    When these two heavyweights are combined, the skin's lipid barrier retains the right quantities of water and oil, strengthening it and allowing it to protect the skin's surface from hazardous free radical damage.

    How to layer Niacinamide with Matrixyl: 

    1. Niacinamide first – After cleansing, apply Niacinamide to regulate oil production and strengthen the skin barrier.
    2. Matrixyl second – After the Niacinamide has absorbed, layer Matrixyl to target signs of aging and improve skin elasticity.


  • Retinol + Tretinoin = ✅ Matrixyl

    Unlike retinol, matrixyl is less likely to cause irritation and undesirable skin side effects such as an increased risk of UV damage. If you've been using retinol or retinoid creams for a long, there's no reason to get rid of them. Matrixyl and retinols work really well together.

    Look for a Matriyxl 3000 product that addresses additional skin concerns in addition to retinol.

    How to layer Retinol + Tretinoin with Matrixyl:

    1. Retinol or Tretinoin first – Apply your retinol or tretinoin in the evening on clean, dry skin. Allow it to fully absorb to avoid irritation.
    2. Matrixyl second – Once the retinoid has absorbed, apply Matrixyl to soothe the skin and enhance its anti-aging benefits. Retinoids can sometimes be drying, so Matrixyl helps replenish skin’s elasticity.

  • Copper Peptides = ✅ Matrixyl

    Copper peptides, , act as an antioxidant, protects collagen and elastin in the skin, and soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles." Copper is also an anti-inflammatory that stimulates wound healing, making it ideal for the treatment of scarring, pigmentation, and redness produced by inflammation according to Natasha B.

    How to layer Copper Peptides with Matrixyl:

    1. Matrixyl first – Apply Matrixyl to clean skin to help smooth out fine lines and promote skin firmness.
    2. Copper Peptides second – Follow with Copper Peptides to protect collagen, provide antioxidant benefits, and calm inflammation.
      (Note: Avoid using copper peptides with Vitamin C, as they may deactivate each other.)

Can I layer hyaluronic acid with Matrixyl?

Yes, hyaluronic acid and Matrixyl are a perfect combination, offering deep hydration and collagen support when layered together.

What pairs well with Matrixyl?

Matrixyl pairs well with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides, as these ingredients complement its anti-aging and hydrating benefits.

Should I use Argireline or Matrixyl first?

Apply Argireline before Matrixyl for targeted wrinkle relaxation, as Argireline works best as the first layer in your routine.


avoid pairing matrixyl® 3000 with :

Although matrixyl is beneficial to the skin, it does pose some hazards due to the presence of other chemicals like as vitamin C, also known as L-ascorbic acid, BHA, such as salicylic acid, and other acids, such as the popular AHA, glycolic acid. Matrixyl as well as other peptides do not combine well with acid.


  • Lactic Acid (AHA) + Salicylic Acid (BHA) + Mandelic Acid = ❌ Matrixyl

    If you're using a Lactic Acid or Salicylic Acid exfoliator, try not to use Matrixyl at the same time. They all have their own unique benefits, so if you use more than one at once, you may not get the best results. It's similar to Retinol, and it doesn't play well with acids. You can use Lactic Acid or Salicylic Acid on their own, but we recommend layering them with a hydrating moisturizer. That way, you'll be able to seal in their effects and make sure your skin stays moisturized.

  • Glycolic Acid (AHA) = ❌ Matrixyl

    Other strong actives to avoid combining with Matrixyl are Glycolic acid (AHA) and Salicylic Acid (BHA), particularly glycolic acid and salicylic acid, both of which are powerful exfoliants that can cause irritation when combined with matrixyl. As a result, you should never pair them on the same night. For the most effective results, apply on different days.

  • Vitamin C ❌+ (AHAs) + (BHAs) = ❌ Matrixyl

    Due to its fragile nature, vitamin C is a hard element on its own, and it sadly does not play well with other ingredients. Vitamin C is wonderful for brightening the skin, which is why it's found in many brightening serums, but brightening is merely code for exfoliating, which is also the primary role of AHAs. Combining the two on the same day may harm your skin barrier and create irritation, so apply them separately.

    Matrixyl works similarly to retinol in terms of wrinkle reduction, but these peptides help rebuild skin and cannot do so efficiently when Vitamin C is present, so use them at night and Vitamin C in the morning.

  • Mandelic Acid = ❌ Matrixyl

    Mandelic acid is an acne and hyperpigmentation exfoilant. Other AHAs, such as glycolic acid, and BHAs, such as salicylic acid, should be avoided when used with mandelic acid, as should retinol and matrixyl 3000.

  • Azelic Acid = ❌ Matrixyl

    Due to the hydrolysis vulnerability of peptides, we do not recommend combining direct acids such as Azelic Acid with peptides like (Matrixyl 3000). This process will breaks the bonds between peptides, reducing their efficacy, and making them into individual amino acids)
