Chemical composition

Matrixyl, known scientifically as Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, is a pentapeptide, meaning it consists of five amino acids attached to a fatty acid chain. The fatty acid enhances the peptide’s ability to penetrate the skin, making it highly effective in delivering its benefits to the deeper layers of the epidermis.

Mechanism of action

Matrixyl works by mimicking the effects of broken-down collagen in the skin. When applied, it stimulates skin cells (fibroblasts) to produce more collagen and elastin, key proteins that maintain the skin’s structure and elasticity.

Potential research benefits

Stimulates collagen and elastin production

Matrixyl is proven to boost the synthesis of collagen and elastin, leading to firmer and more resilient skin over time.

Reduces wrinkles and fine lines

Clinical studies have shown that regular use of Matrixyl can reduce the depth and volume of wrinkles, particularly on the forehead and around the eyes.

Improves skin texture

By stimulating cell regeneration, Matrixyl helps smoothen the skin’s surface, making it appear more even and youthful.

Hydrating and repairing effects

Matrixyl promotes the skin’s natural repair process while improving moisture retention, contributing to a healthier, plumper complexion.

Usage in formulations

Matrixyl is widely used in anti-aging skincare products like creams, serums and lotions. It’s frequently paired with other active ingredients (like peptides and antioxidants) for enhanced effects.
