About this ingredient

Matrixyl 3000 Peptide is a clinically proven anti-wrinkle active combining two palmitoylated matrikines — Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 (Pal-GHK) and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 (Pal-GQPR). These messenger peptides activate genes involved in extracellular matrix renewal, supporting the skin's repair process at the level of the papillary dermis.

Formulation tips
  • Water soluble — add to the water phase of emulsions or directly to aqueous serums
  • Use at 3% for full anti-wrinkle clinical efficacy as demonstrated in vivo
  • Preservative-free — compatible with sensitive skin formulations
  • Ideal for face creams, serums, eye creams, anti-aging treatments, and makeup bases
  • Works by activating matrikine receptors to stimulate ECM renewal — not a surface filler
  • Regulates progerin (a senescence marker) — helping ageing skin behave more like young skin

At 3%, it has been shown to reduce deep wrinkles by 39.4%, improve skin tone by 15.5%, and deliver a −5.5 year age gain in the dermis after 2 months.

  • Anti-wrinkle face creams and serums (3%)
  • Eye creams and treatments for periorbital wrinkles
  • Anti-aging moisturizers and night creams
  • Neck and décolletage treatments
  • Water soluble — add to the water phase
  • Preservative-free — compatible with sensitive skin formulations
  • Activates ECM renewal — works at the dermal level, not a surface filler
  • Regulates progerin to help ageing skin behave like young skin
Product FAQ
What is Matrixyl 3000 Peptide used for?Used as an anti-wrinkle active in face creams, serums, and eye creams. Activates extracellular matrix renewal to reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone and elasticity.
How do matrikines work?Matrikines are messenger peptides that interact with cell receptors to activate genes involved in ECM renewal and cell proliferation — mechanisms that weaken with age. Matrixyl 3000 re-activates them.
What is the clinical efficacy?At 3% over 2 months: −39.4% deep wrinkle area, −32.9% wrinkle density, +15.5% skin tone, +5.5% elasticity vs baseline — all significant vs placebo. Age gain of −5.5 years in dermis.
What percentage should be used?3% — the concentration used in all clinical studies.
Is it water soluble?Yes — water soluble and preservative-free. Add to the water phase of emulsions or directly into aqueous serums.
Formulator note

Note: Water soluble — add to the water phase. Use at 3% for full clinical efficacy. Preservative-free. Works at the dermal level by activating matrikine receptors — not a surface filler. Regulates progerin (−27%) and SA β-galactosidase (−56%), helping ageing skin behave more like young skin.
