Anti-agingPeptides
“One of the most studied peptide complexes for reducing wrinkles and boosting collagen.”
What it does
Matrixyl 3000 is a combination of two palmitoyl peptides — palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 — that work together to stimulate collagen I, collagen III, fibronectin, and hyaluronic acid production in the dermis. It signals the skin to repair itself, mimicking the breakdown products of collagen that naturally trigger skin self-repair. Clinical studies show it can halve the appearance of deep wrinkles.
