There's been quite a lot of interest in Matrixyl
in the skincare industry lately.
I posted a couple of articles about it in March this year. |

I should have said it comes under the title of -
Anti-wrinkle creams that really work. |

| I've been using a matrixyl serum the last few months and am suprised that it works about as well as the CPs I was using. |

What do I think of the article itself? It's horse excrement. 
Yes, matrixyl has some research behind it.
Yes, companies have been using it for years.
But the way it's presented, this just screams reverse psychology. It's like they're trying to hype it up to be more effective than it actually is with a pretty story they think most people will believe. They're trying to put to rest the old sentiment that "if products worked as claimed, why do the companies keep coming out with different formulas every few years?" |

| Where can we get a serum similar to the Olay serum that is mentioned in the article? It appears that serum may only be available inthe UK. |

Hi, it is also sold in Spain, in Europe. Maybe you could try through Amazon or Ebay if you're wanting a specific cream like the Olay, but if you're really interested in trying the active mentioned in this post, the "matrixyl" try skinactives.com or other web pages to actually buy the "matrixyl" active that you can add to your creams. |

| Theres nothing magical about matrixyl. Its ok. The daily mail sensationalises and is innacurate. |

| The Daily Mail is always hyping some useless cosmetic rubbish that does nothing or next to nothing, while trashing what actually does work -- botox, filler and cosmetic surgery. It's laughable. |

| I'd like to see a study comparing this peptide with copper peptides, since both heal wounds. |

| I don't know anything about this particular ingredient, but I've come to think a lot of these kinds of 'news stories' are really just paid advertisements. |

which Matrixyl is it? Is this the original one used by Strivectin which has a patent on it or matrixyl3000 or there is another new one now is well.. I have used matrixyl3000 at 5% and it did not do much.. i dont use it now..
if it's the original one, then that has been around for like a decade or so already and have not proved itself to be a miracle or even close... |

| ^I'm pretty sure they were talking about the original Matrixyl, not the latter formula. |

If any of the Matrixyls work, then I never seem to notice the result. Not for me, not for other people.
I might be mistaken, but the research focuses on in vitro results for cell cultures. Everything works on a pile of fibroblasts.  One particular study that compared a peptide cream vs some panthenol cream on damaged skin (where skin is actually damaged and "open" as opposed to aged skin) and the advanced peptide cream didn't perform as advertised. It is consistent with anecdotal reports from dermatologists - they and their skin imaging systems fail to see improvement with peptide treated skin, be it old Matrixyl, Matrixyl 3000 or other stuff (hello, Argireline).
As far as I am concerned, peptides sure work. In test tubes. For anti-aging purposes copper peptides might be the only ones actually achieving something. |

| SkinActives sells Dermagen which they say is Natural Matrixyl. It runs $5.00 for a 10 milliliters vial. I just add it to my cream. There are lots of brands that sell products with Matrixyl in it. It's been around for awhile, since 2000. I've used a product with Matrixyl in it before (Isomers) and never felt I saw any kind of a miracle so for me, the claims in this article are unproven. I'd be more inclined to look for newly developed anti-aging actives. |

Peptides have been proven to work, but don't offer (as far as I have been able to research) anything more magical than the other tools we already have in our arsenal. I think we can add them to the pile...only have 24 hours in a day though 
That said, I believe they have a short shelf life and are very sensitive to light and temps - check lotioncrafter.com for further details.
