MatriGold®

Functions
Anti-aging
Firming
Smoothing

MatriGold® is a complex containing a matrikine peptide Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 fused with colloidal gold particles. Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is a superstar peptide known under the trade name Matrixyl™, and it was the first in matrikines range.

Unexpectedly, besides the free peptide main targets are Coll I and Coll III, MatriGold® shown to dramatically boost Coll IV synthesis by 130%, re-enforcing the too-often forgotten dermis-epidermal junction and fighting the first sign of aging, fine lines.

Thanks to improved skin permeation and defense against enzymatic breakdown, MatriGold® exhibits extraordinary performance and effectivity at only 0.3% concentration. It is an innovative approach for the Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 delivery method that works at the dermis-epidermis junction level, synthesizing type IV Collagen.

Clinical studies with a preparation containing 0.3% of MatriGold® showed a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles by up to 30% and long-term results (8 weeks) of up to 50%. Participants mention the improvement in skin smoothness and youthful appearance of the eye area.
