How To Use

Application: Apply 1-2 pumps to face and neck in the morning after cleansing and any serums or treatments, allowing serums to absorb first if layering products.

Frequency: Use daily as your morning moisturiser and sun protection.

Layering: Can be layered over NeoStrata Skin Active Tri-Therapy Lifting Serum for enhanced anti-ageing benefits. If additional hydration is desired, may be layered with NeoStrata Bionic Serum.

Expert Tips: First-time users should introduce this product gradually to build tolerance, particularly if new to Retinol. Retinol and NeoGlucosamine increase cell turnover, which may cause transient visible or tactile exfoliation—this indicates the product is working. If light peeling feels uncomfortable, reduce usage frequency until skin acclimates. Reapply additional sunscreen at least every 2 hours during prolonged outdoor exposure for consistent sun protection. For best results, use as part of the complete Skin Active regimen including Exfoliating Wash, Matrix Support SPF 30 (morning), Cellular Restoration (evening), and Intensive Eye Therapy (morning and evening).

FAQ

Q: Can I use this product if I'm new to Retinol?
A: Yes, but introduce it gradually to build tolerance. Start by using it 2-3 times per week, then progressively increase frequency as your skin acclimates. The 0.12% Retinol concentration is moderate, making it suitable for those building up their tolerance, though some transient exfoliation or mild sensitivity may occur initially. If you experience uncomfortable peeling or irritation, reduce usage frequency until your skin adjusts.

Q: Do I need to apply a separate sunscreen over this product?
A: For normal daily activities with incidental sun exposure, the built-in SPF 30 provides adequate protection. However, if you'll be spending prolonged periods outdoors or engaging in activities with intense sun exposure, apply additional broad spectrum sunscreen over this cream and reapply at least every 2 hours for consistent protection throughout the day.

Q: How long will it take to see visible results?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate that users begin noticing improvements in hydration and skin texture within 4 weeks of consistent daily use. More significant improvements in firmness, wrinkle reduction, and pigmentation become apparent after 8-16 weeks as part of the complete Skin Active regimen. For optimal results, use daily as directed and maintain consistent application as part of your morning skincare routine.

Q: Can I layer this with other anti-ageing products?
A: Yes, this product works beautifully when layered with complementary treatments. For enhanced results, apply after NeoStrata Skin Active Tri-Therapy Lifting Serum, allowing the serum to absorb fully before applying Matrix Support SPF 30. In the evening, use NeoStrata Skin Active Cellular Restoration for comprehensive day and night anti-ageing care. If you find you need additional hydration, you can layer this with NeoStrata Bionic Serum for extra moisture support.

Q: Will this product cause purging or breakouts?
A: The formula is non-comedogenic and non-acnegenic, meaning it won't clog pores or cause acne. However, because Retinol and NeoGlucosamine increase cellular turnover, some individuals may experience a brief initial purging period as the skin's natural exfoliation process accelerates. This typically resolves within 2-4 weeks as the skin adjusts to the increased cell renewal rate. If breakouts persist beyond this timeframe, consult our skincare experts for personalised guidance.

Q: Can I use this product around my eyes?
A: Whilst Matrix Support SPF 30 is safe for use on the face and neck, we recommend using a dedicated eye treatment such as NeoStrata Skin Active Intensive Eye Therapy for the delicate eye area. Eye-specific formulas are optimised for the thinner, more sensitive skin around the eyes and address concerns like crow's feet, puffiness, and dark circles with appropriate concentrations for this area.
