Matrixyl 3000 Serum For Fine Lines & Sagging Skin
'It's a skincare minefield out there' is a phrase we regularly hear ourselves saying here at VMM Towers. So many of our client consultations focus on skincare, the confusion around it and the many steps that can be involved (or not!) in a routine. And the product that always seems to pique our clients' interests is serums - do they need one, what exactly are serums, and what do they do for your skin?
So here's our serum lowdown. They're designed to be used after cleansing, before applying moisturiser. They deliver a potent shot of ingredients directly to your skin and because they're made up of smaller molecules than moisturisers, they can penetrate deeper into the skin and target specific concerns - from lines and wrinkles, sagging and hyperpigmentation, to dullness and loss of elasticity. In short, serums are skincare powerhouses! And we love them!
And a serum that we've been trialling recently (and singing its praises over on our instagram channel) is Depology Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum. This is a peptide serum that works hard to hydrate and plump up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. 'So what's a peptide?', we hear you ask! Because let's face it, peptides don't get as much skincare airtime as ingredients such as retinol, vitamin C or hyaluronic acid. Which is surprising really, because peptides have been present in skincare for many years, and they're unrivalled in improving elasticity and plumpness. Peptides are proteins that stimulate skin cell activity and support and boost the production of collagen. Collagen makes up around 80% of our skin, but depletes as we age, resulting in thinner, drier, less 'elastic' skin. Matrixyl 3000 is a powerful blend of synthetic peptides that helps to make skin look firmer and younger. And Depology Matrixyl 3000 Serum also contains hyaluronic acid to hydrate, nourish and plump up the skin. It's a win win!
We're excited about their brand new launch too - Depology Matrixyl 3000 Travel Set, which contains 1 full-sized 30ml bottle of the serum and a dinky, 10ml sized travel bottle...perfect if you're heading off on your hols, or even just on a weekend getaway. It's a lovely little duo, and if you're planning on treating yourself to Matrixyl 3000 serum, we suggest you give this great value set a try.
Depology Matrixyl 3000 Serum has a legion of devoted fans. In a recent survey of 500 Depology customers, 86% saw results in the first month…noticeably fewer lines and firmer, more hydrated skin.
M is especially devoted to the serum, having used it religiously, twice a day, for the last 3 months. She particularly loves the feeling of tight, taut skin and given that this serum delivers that on application, it’s definitely fulfilled her desire for instant gratification. Admittedly, her usage and application of the serum has slightly changed since she first started using it...instead of applying all over the face, she now tends to focus on the fine lines around her eyes and lips and those that run down from her nose towards her chin, and then she uses the excess for the rest of her face. She likes this more 'targeted' approach...plus it means she's not going through the serum as quickly!
As with all skincare, cumulative use is key and we can safely say that after 3 months of use this serum has made a difference to our skin...and the ageing process. M has noticed that the skin around her eyes is tighter and the fine lines are slightly softer and less pronounced. And V can't get enough of how smooth, soft and hydrated her skin feels. You can't ask for more than that in a serum!
