substitute for Isomers Matrixyl serum?

MariotaMurielle — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 04:02:09 GMT

I've been using Isomers Matrixyl serums for many years but ran out a few weeks ago and now I'm beginning to notice some pesky issues returning.

Shop H Q is no longer on our Comcast lineup so I haven't been aware of any special pricing lately. when I looked on the website tonight I am a little shocked at the increase in prices. I went to the Isomers site and eBay, but didn't find any great pricing on Isomers Matrixyl there either.

can any of you skin care experts suggest a comparable serum at a reasonable price?

@MariotaMurielle - Check out the website for Timeless Cosmetics. They have a Matrixyl Snythe 6 and also their COQ10 serum has Matrixyl 3000 in it. They also have a Matrixyl 3000 serum. Their prices are reasonable and they have sales all the time. I use the Matrixyl Synthe 6, their COQ10, and their Vitamin C. I highly recommend them.

@MariotaMurielle Sign up for emails from either the Isomers or ShopHQ websites and shop online during their visits when prices are much lower.

@MariotaMurielle ShopHQ disappeared from our Comcast lineup a few months ago also. I discovered it on channel 719 by channel surfing. You can also use the voice/speaker button on your remote and say "ShopHQ". That should take you to their new channel in your area.

Hope you find it.

@JudyL

I also use the Timeless Vitamin C each morning but how do you incorporate the other products? In was thinking of getting the CoQ 10 but not sure in what order to use it.

Thank you

@JudyL I have to ask, Matrixyl Synthe 6 - it's the synthe I'm noting here.

Doesn't this mean the Synthe portion is a synthetic?

What's in it, how is it made, where does this come from, who is the originator, the maker? Most synthetics are basically nothing like the real product. Most people tend to shy away and not want to use a synthietic. No telling what comprises this particular product of which you speak.

I would need to know exactly what is in each of these products - Isomers real thing vs the synthe.

@MariotaMurielle long time user of the Isomers matrixyl 4 serum.

The price of 4oz bottle is way higher now, I have been looking too. There may be an occasional coupon when Manuela visits but I haven't seen a good price. The duo of the cream & serum has been $199 during her visits. The single 4oz serum is about $50 less. It has not gone lower in a while.

@PINKdogWOOD that is the tradename, Sederma owns Matrixyl Synthe'6

@Squirt60 - I use the COQ10 right after my Vitamin C, then continue with other skin care. The Matrixyl 6 I use at night after cleansing and toning, then continue with other skin care. Hope this helps!

@PINKdogWOOD - I suggest you go to Timeless Cosmetics website and check out the product and the information there. If you have further questions, they have an excellent customer service.

thanks for the suggestions, y'all.

last night when I checked the Shop website this item was at the regular price. today it's at a "flash sale" price with free shipping.

since I'm looking for the higher concentration I decided to go with this.

Wonderful! Maybe buy more than one. That's a great price.

As far as the Matrixyl Synthe'6, Tests were done at a concentration of 2%. More does not necessarily mean better. You can actually buy it as a single ingredient for DIY purposes, and it's recommended at 2-4%, so I wouldn't want it at a higher percentage without information indicating it's safe to use at that concentration.

Matrixyl 3000 is a different product. Sederma tested it at 3% and I see it recommended at 3-8% for DIY applications. Not sure 20% is any better just because it's a higher percentage.

As far as the Isomers Matrixyl, I am sure there will be deal sooner or later on SHQ. Also if you look on ebay and amazon there a ton of offerings for very similar products, Prai even has one with the new Morphonics type, which Manuela says she is the only one who has it.

Also look for the Isomers on ebay

I am in MD and have Comcast so we lost our SHQ channel too. but, Comcast has picked it up on a channel they call Ideal TV, it has SHQ on daily from 8 AM to midnite. Just say Ideal TV in your voice remote and see what happens, here it is Ch 1098.

If you cant find it this way, you can get it thru You Tube, I see Shop LC that way.

Since SHQ is on here on Ideal TV, if you say SHQ nothing comes up on the voice remote, we have to say Ideal TV to get it.

@SilleeMee Where are you getting that Isomers Matrixyl is 20%? They have a body serum at 20%, but I'm seeing a Matrixyl-4 Pur Collagen Peptide Serum but I'm not seeing a percentage associated with it.
