It works by stimulating the deeper matrix layers of the skin to increase the production and synthesis of collagen and hyaluronic acid. (It "tells" the skin to make more collagen.) This action also helps the skin to heal wounds faster. Manufacturers of products containing Matrixyl claim that it is at least as effective against wrinkles as retinol without the common effect of skin irritation.
In clinical studies Matrixyl:

Increased overall collagen synthesis by up to 117%
Increased collagen IV synthesis by up to 327%
Increased hyaluronic acid synthesis by up to 267%
Deep wrinkles were reduced by half and some smaller wrinkles and fine lines faded away completely.
Every participant in the study showed a noticeable improvement within two weeks. The result was fewer wrinkles and younger-looking skin.
