What Does Matrixyl® Do?

Have you ever tried to read and decode the ingredient list on the back of your favourite anti aging skincare product? If you have, you've most likely been perplexed by what these substances are and what they do for your skin and complexion.

Today, we deep-dive into the hot-topic ingredient Matrixyl®; we're going to talk about what Matrixyl® 3000 does and the advantages it could bring to your skin today.​ Whilst there is a plethora of anti aging skincare ingredients we could discuss, we've chosen Matrixyl® 3000 because it is the dominant ingredient in our popular collagen serum formula. ​
​
So what does Matrixyl® 3000 do for the skin?​ It is a potent ingredient that hydrates the skin while also combating visible signs of ageing and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. All forms of Matrixyl® are derived from Methionine Sulfone and Lysine. These peptides are also Lipopeptides, which occurs when Amino Acids are mixed with Fatty Acids. Amino acids are a known superfood for collagen in the skin.​

This serum formulation is one of our most game-changing skincare products yet, as it will help you achieve the softest, smoothest, and healthiest skin you've ever felt and seen.

First off, what is Matrixyl® 3000?

Good question, and one that should be addressed before we can discuss Matrixyl® 3000's benefits. Matrixyl® 3000 is a peptide made up of two proteins, to put it simply. If you're unfamiliar with the term, a peptide is a protein that serves as one of our cells' building components. To put this in perspective, peptides are required for stimulating cell activity. Like mentioned above, it is a robust anti aging ingredient packed with Amino Acids, vital to the suppleness of the skin.
​​
Unfortunately, as we age, our peptides lose their ability to interact effectively, resulting in wrinkles, sagging skin, and dullness. So, does Matrixyl® Serum really work? In the aid of the battle against ageing skin?​

Let's talk about it.​

The Origin of Matrixyl®

Matrixyl® is a trademark of Sederma, a cosmetic ingredient development firm. It was established using a series of anti-wrinkle actives that comprise Matrikine, a peptide that aids the proper functioning of many components of the skin's structure.

It became a tremendously popular and well-known active ingredient in the personal care market, notably in the anti-aging sector, after its introduction in 2000.

Another name for Matrixyl®? The Scientific name for Matrixyl® that is Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (formerly Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-3) Matrixyl® 3000 which is made from a combination of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-7 and Palmitoyl-Oligopeptide

What are the Benefits of Matrixyl® 3000 Serum?

• Improves the Apperance of Wrinkles
  
  

If you're as obsessed with anti-aging as we are, you already know that plumper skin (thanks to collagen) and improved moisture (thanks to hyaluronic acid) will make your skin seem less wrinkled. It's that simple.

• Enhanced Glow 

We all want glowing skin, and thankfully, achieving that glow is more attainable than we may think. To put it simply, glow is all about moisture. If your skin is dehydrated, you’ll look dull and tired. If your skin is moisturised, you’ll look lively and youthful. Matrixyl® 3000 helps to replenish moisture in exhausted skin cells, improving the shine and vitality of your skin.

• Non-Irritating and Suitable for Sensitive Skin 

All too often, anti-aging products are formulated with some of the harshest, most irritating ingredients. Thankfully, this isn’t the case with Matrixyl® 3000. Our formulation with this ingredient is gentle and won’t irritate even the most sensitive skin - with no reported side effects! In a recent survey of 500 users, 96.2% said they had no reactions to our Matrixyl® 3000 Serum.

In other words, Matrixyl®3000 is safe and effective to use on almost all skin types.

HOW TO USE: DĒPOLOGY’S Matrixyl® 3000 SERUM

How to layer Matrixyl®?

1. Thoroughly cleanse and tone the skin
   
   
2. Apply a few drops of Matrixyl® Serum onto your palm and massage gently onto your face. Make sure to apply generously to areas where age lines form easily such as the forehead and around the eyes.
   
   
3. After the serum has absorbed fully into the skin, apply your favourite Micro- Dart patches. Once in contact with the skin, the Micro-Darts will start to dissolve and activate the serum into the skin.
   
   
4. Apply your Tri-Active Peptide Complex Cream or your Retinol Face Cream to the face to help seal in key ingredients. If you are wearing patches, apply the moisturiser around the patches.

• Contains Matrixyl® 3000
  

Matrixyl® 3000 is a type of synthetic peptide used in skin care for its scientifically-proven ability which results in anti-aging effects.

• Contains Hyaluronic Acid

In a similar vein, Matrixyl® 3000 also helps with the production of hyaluronic acid, which again, is something your body naturally produces to help with moisture retention; however, as we age, the amount of hyaluronic acid we produce decreases.

With  Matrixyl® 3000 in your skincare arsenal, you don’t have to worry about this depleted supply. Regular use of products containing Matrixyl® 3000 will increase hyaluronic acid, ensuring skin looks moisturised, bright, and youthful.

Is Matrixyl® better than Retinol?

Anti-aging skin care chemicals such as Retinol and Matrixyl® are among the various options available to consumers. Choosing the right components for your skin might be difficult. Especially when you evaluate all of your possibilities. Also, keep in mind that they battle fine lines and wrinkles in somewhat different ways.

As you put together an anti-aging skin-care routine! Perhaps you're perplexed by the distinction. Is Matrixyl® the same as Retinol? Retinol is a vitamin A-derived natural skin care component. Matrixyyl, on the other hand, is a blend of synthetic peptides.

A Question asked often by consumers in the skincare industry, can you use Matrixyl® with Retinol? You are also receiving the effects of vitamin A.” Additionally, retinol also works to improve the penetration of peptide creams and serums which can help improve skin firmness. When combined, you'll improve the efficacy. If you've comfortably incorporated a retinol or retinoid product into your routine, there's no need to throw out your retinol! Matrixyl® and retinol work well together.

While both may aid in the attainment of your skin care goals, one may be more effective than the other. This is dependent on your skin type and the conditions you're seeking to resolve.
