Why this one
For skin that looks less bouncy than you remember.
- What it does
- Skin looks firmer and brighter, and fine lines look smoother.
- How it feels
- An icy melt-cream that disappears into skin.
- How to use
- Morning. 2 or 3 drops on damp skin, then moisturizer and SPF.
A chrysalis is where the change happens.
What's in it
Matrixyl 3000
Two peptides for skin that looks firmer and smoother. On the label they're Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.

Snow algae
An algae that grows on snow. I like it for skin that looks tired.
Made for my own face first.
The chemistry, if you want it
Matrixyl 3000. A well-studied peptide backed by research on collagen support. Helps the look of firmer, more resilient skin over time.
Vitamin C (THD Ascorbate). A stable, oil-soluble form of Vitamin C that penetrates deeper than traditional Vitamin C. Brightens the look of skin and supports even-looking tone.
Snow Algae Extract. A cold-adapted algae studied for its ability to help skin stand up to environmental stress.
Matrixyl 3000 peptides help skin look firmer. Vitamin C brightens and helps the work.
