The Ordinary – Matrixyl 10% + HA

Description

The Matrixyl 10% + HA is an advanced anti-aging treatment that goes beyond simple surface hydration. This water-based serum contains a 10% concentration of Matrixyl™ 3000 and Matrixyl™ Synthe’6™—two of the most renowned peptide technologies in skincare. These ingredients work in synergy to mimic the skin’s natural repair process, supporting the structural integrity of the dermis to “fill” fine lines and deep-set wrinkles from within for a more resilient, youthful appearance.

To ensure the skin remains supple and receptive to these peptides, the formula is built into a Hyaluronic Acid (HA) delivery system. This allows the active peptides to be absorbed more effectively while providing an immediate plumping effect on the skin’s surface. It is an ideal preventative treatment for those noticing early signs of aging, as well as an effective corrective serum for established lines around the forehead, eyes, and mouth.

With its lightweight, non-greasy texture, this serum integrates seamlessly into any routine. It is alcohol-free, silicone-free, and oil-free, making it suitable for all skin types looking for a firmer, more revitalized complexion without the heavy feel of traditional anti-aging creams.

How to use:

1. Apply a few drops to the face in the morning and evening after cleansing.
2. Use this water-based serum early in your routine, before heavier oils or moisturizers.
3. Gently pat the serum into the skin, focusing on areas prone to fine lines like the forehead and around the mouth.
4. Patch Test First: Always perform a patch test on unbroken skin before full application. If irritation occurs, rinse off and cease use.
5. Layering Tip: For best results, use in a hydration-focused routine. Avoid using in the same routine as strong acids or Pure Vitamin C (LAA/ELAA) to prevent the peptides from degrading.
