The formulation
Ingredient stack
Each ingredient is listed in descending concentration. Above the 1% line the order is regulated — below it, brands can list in any order.
Ingredients above the dashed gold line are dosed above 1% (the regulatory threshold) — these are what the formulation is really built on.
One of the most clinically studied peptide complexes. Works via two matrikine peptides: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 stimulates new collagen I, III and HA synthesis; Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 reduces inflammatory cytokines that break down the dermal matrix. Together they reduce wrinkle depth and improve firmness in 4–12 weeks.
The original Matrixyl peptide — a Pro-Collagen I fragment that directly stimulates fibroblasts to produce collagen I, III, IV, elastin and fibronectin. Has significant independent clinical evidence including a double-blind trial showing wrinkle reduction versus placebo. Effective at trace concentrations (ppm).
The closest active-matched alternative is the The Ordinary Matrixyl 10% + HA (66% active overlap). We found 2 options that share this product’s hero actives.
