The Ordinary Matrixyl 10% + HA 30ml

Product Description

Matrixyl 10% + HA is a concentrated peptide serum that targets fine lines and wrinkles by rebuilding the skin’s structural support from within. It combines two generations of the Matrixyl peptide complex, Matrixyl 3000 and Matrixyl Synthe’6, at a total concentration of 10% by weight. Matrixyl is a trademarked composition developed by Sederma Inc. in France and is one of the most well-researched peptide complexes in cosmetic science.
Hyaluronic acid works as the delivery system in this formula, helping the peptides absorb more effectively while keeping the skin hydrated and plump.

Clinical Results and Benefits

Wrinkle Depth Reduction: Matrixyl 3000 has been shown to reduce the appearance of deep wrinkles by up to 39% after eight weeks of consistent use.

Collagen Support: Matrixyl Synthe’6 stimulates six structural proteins in the skin including collagen I, III, and IV, helping to restore firmness and smoothness over time.

Visible Plumping: Hyaluronic acid delivers immediate surface hydration while the peptides work deeper, leaving skin looking and feeling plumper.

Easy to Layer: The water-based, silicone-free formula absorbs quickly and layers cleanly before creams, oils, and other actives without pilling.

How to Use

Apply a few drops to the face in the morning and evening after cleansing, before any heavier creams or oils. Press gently into the skin, allowing the formula to absorb fully before layering other products on top.

Key Ingredients

Matrixyl 3000 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 + Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7): One of the most studied peptide complexes in skincare. Signals the skin to boost collagen production and visibly smooths fine lines with consistent use.

Matrixyl Synthe’6 (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38): A next-generation peptide that stimulates six structural proteins in the skin including collagen I, III, and IV. Targets forehead lines and crow’s feet with a visible filling-in effect over time.

Sodium Hyaluronate: Enhances peptide penetration while drawing moisture into the skin for an immediate plumping effect.

Glycerin: A skin-identical humectant that supports surface hydration and keeps the formula comfortable on the skin without heaviness or tackiness.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can this serum be used around the eye area?

Yes. Matrixyl 10% + HA can be applied to the orbital bone area around the eyes, making it a practical option for targeting crow’s feet and fine lines around the eye contour. Avoid direct contact with the eyes themselves. For deeper eye concerns such as dark circles and puffiness, pairing it with a dedicated eye treatment like The Ordinary Multi-Peptide Eye Serum gives more targeted results.

2. Can I use this with Retinol?

Retinol and Matrixyl 10% + HA work well together and can be used in the same routine — apply the serum first, allow it to absorb, then follow with retinol.

3. Can I use this serum with a Vitamin C serum?

Yes, Matrixyl and Vitamin C can be used together. For best results, apply Vitamin C first as it works at a lower pH, allow it to fully absorb, then apply Matrixyl after 10 to 15 minutes. Some experts note that high concentrations of L-ascorbic acid might reduce the effectiveness of peptides, so using them at separate times of day is also a perfectly valid approach.

4. How long does it take to see results?

Results depend on individual skin conditions and current skincare routines. However, most people notice their skin feeling plumper and more hydrated within the first week, primarily from the hyaluronic acid. The peptide driven benefits including visible reduction in fine lines and improved firmness become more apparent between four and eight weeks of consistent use.
