FAQS
Is Neostrata Skin Active Repair Matrix Support good for mature skin? +

It is designed for it. Neostrata describes Matrix Support as an ultimate anti-ageing day cream for mature skin that visibly addresses advanced wrinkles, lack of firmness, discolouration and texture, and in the brand's 16-week study 98% saw smoother skin texture and 95% saw visibly firmer, more radiant skin.

Is this the same product as Neostrata Skin Active Matrix Support SPF 30? +

Yes. In the UK Neostrata lists it as Skin Active Repair Matrix Support with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30; on its US site it appears simply as Matrix Support. It is the same 50g day cream with the same formula.

Does it contain retinol, and is that all right in a day cream? +

It contains 0.1% retinol, and Neostrata formulated it as a day cream precisely because the broad-spectrum SPF 30 is built in. Apply it generously each morning and avoid the immediate eye area.

Is SPF 30 enough on its own? +

For everyday UK life it is a sensible daily level when applied generously. Neostrata advises additional sunscreen for prolonged outdoor activity, so on beach or hiking days add a dedicated sunscreen and reapply.

Can I use Neostrata Skin Active Repair Matrix Support with Potent Retinol Complex at night? +

Yes, many Skin Active users do. Both contain retinol, so introduce one at a time and let your skin settle for a couple of weeks before adding the second; if you notice dryness, drop the night serum back to alternate evenings.

What does Neostrata mean by the skin's hydrating matrix? +

The matrix is the skin's supporting framework of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. NeoGlucosamine is a building block of hyaluronic acid, and the peptides and antioxidants in the cream are chosen to support the look of a firmer, better hydrated matrix.

Which skin types is it for? +

Neostrata lists it as suitable for dry, normal and oily skin types. The texture is medium-weight and non-greasy, so it sits comfortably on combination skin too.

What did the clinical study show? +

After 16 weeks of the full Skin Active regimen - Exfoliating Wash and Intensive Eye Therapy twice daily with Matrix Support in the morning - 98% noted smoother texture, 95% visibly firmer and more radiant skin, 91% less noticeable wrinkles and 79% less apparent brown spots.

Can I use Neostrata Skin Active Repair Matrix Support during pregnancy or while breastfeeding? +

Most clinicians advise avoiding vitamin A (retinol) while pregnant or breastfeeding, and Neostrata does not state that this product is suitable for that time. Skin Active Firming Hyaluronic Luminous Lift worn under a separate broad-spectrum sunscreen is the brand's retinol-free alternative - check with your midwife or GP.
