Matrixyl has been making waves in the anti-aging skincare world for years, and if you want to amp up your current skincare routine, this ingredient just might be the perfect addition to your routine and goals! When it comes time to build your routine, it’s important to follow the correct steps and use ingredients that work best for your skin type and concerns.
At Isomers Skincare, our Build My Routine quiz allows you to select skincare products based on those factors. Below, we’ll discuss the benefits of building a routine with Matrixyl peptides and how to incorporate them using our Cleanse, Feed, Correct, and Protect formula.
What are Matriyxl Peptides?
Matrixyl (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4) is a peptide known for its ability to support collagen synthesis in the body. Unlike naturally occurring peptides, which are an unaltered string of amino acids, Matrixyl is a chemically modified peptide form that offers superior penetration of the skin barrier.
Everyone needs collagen to maintain healthy skin, and this essential nutrient begins to fade as early as our mid-twenties. Due to its excellent cell-signalling properties, Matrixyl has become a go-to ingredient in anti-aging skincare for stimulating collagen production.
The Benefits of Matrixyl
Matrixyl is great for all ages and skin types, and can be paired with basically any skincare ingredient. It’s a great ingredient to pair with a targeting formulation for specific skin concerns, as it gives other ingredients a good boost, enhancing the efficacy of your entire skincare routine.
Some benefits of Matrixyl include:
- Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Boosts skin firmness and elasticity
- Helps retain moisture in the skin for enhanced hydration
- Plumps the complexion
- Protects against environmental stressors
- Promotes a smooth skin texture and even tone

Matrixyl-4 Collagen Peptide Cream: Formulated to intensify moisture retention, enhance the appearance of skin firmness, smooth rough skin texture, and target environmental stressors.
Contains a blend of 4 Matrixyl types, including Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Matrixyl 3000 (fun fact: this Matrixyl form was named after Harry Potter!), Matrixyl Synthe’6, and Matrixyl Morphomics.
Matrixyl-4 Peptide Serum: Formulated to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, provide intense hydration, and form a noticeable plumped and moisturized look. This serum is also a 4-peptide blend to target each skin concern more directly.
This serum is ideal for combining with other active ingredients during the Correct step of your skincare routine, as it is a more targeted formulation.
Matrixyl Collagen Peptide Body Cream: If you have loose skin, stretch marks, or visible scarring on different areas of your body, this concentrated anti-aging body cream can help target these concerns while also providing enhanced hydration.
This cream is great for those tightening loose skin after weight loss or pregnancy, or for older adults who want to regain a more youthful body composition.
Matrixyl Collagen Peptide Lip Serum: Your lips need care just like the rest of your skin, and our hydrating serum is a great way to ensure they stay plump, soft, and smooth! This serum also helps lipstick apply more smoothly and evenly for a nice finish to your makeup.
Ingredient Pairings
Matrixyl can be mixed with basically anything, which is one of its key benefits! At Isomers, we recommend pairing Matrixyl with green tea to help relieve oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.
Cleanse, Feed, Correct, and Protect
So, in which steps of your skincare routine should you incorporate your new Matrixyl products? Here’s an example of a basic skincare routine for adults 25+, following our Cleanse, Feed, Correct, and Protect philosophy:
Cleanse: Start your routine with a gentle cleanser to remove any impurities and prepare your skin for nourishment. Our Hydrating Milk Cleanser is a great option for all skin types and concerns, as it offers a gentle exfoliation while maintaining comfort in the complexion.
Feed: Now that your skin is prepped, it’s time to feed it with ingredients that will target your skin concerns head-on. We recommend our Copper Peptide Serum for this step, as it pairs well with Matrixyl peptides for stimulating collagen synthesis.
Correct: Our Matrixyl-4 Collagen Peptide Serum is a great choice for the Correct stage. This more intense formulation helps boost collagen production, enhance hydration, and promote firm, smooth skin.
Protect: After you’ve applied your serum, it’s time to seal in all the benefits with our Matrixyl-4 Collagen Peptide Cream! This high-quality moisturizer will keep your skin hydrated while also feeding it with ingredients that support collagen and address visible signs of aging.
Additional steps: Apply our Matrixyl body cream and lip serum after completing your facial skincare to give your whole body a good hydration boost!
We recommend using our Matrixyl products twice a day for the best results.
