substitute for Isomers Matrixyl serum?

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

Re: substitute for Isomers Matrixyl serum?

@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.
