Matrixyl

Meaning

Matrixyl is a registered trade name for a specific family of synthetic peptides used in cosmetic and dermatological formulations, primarily for their anti-aging properties. These peptides function as messengers that signal dermal cells, particularly fibroblasts, to synthesize new components of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. While applied topically, its mechanism directly relates to the cellular signaling and regenerative processes central to longevity science.
