Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat the gurus are saying
Lightweight is the word that keeps coming up for this serum, which sinks in fast and glides on smoothly. Gurus say it lifts hydration and keeps it there, with a slight gain over time also noted. Matrixyl is designed to stimulate collagen, so it has been recommended for people who can't tolerate retinol. It layers well under other serums or moisturizers, though only three gurus have weighed in so far.
