In a few years, I’ll be 40. So I’m already getting a bit worried about ageing – I’ve been trying to find my own elixir of youth. There are so many skincare products out there, each promising to make you look younger. Not all of them live up to the hype. But for those of us who are on an eternal quest for that one skincare product that delivers on its promises, Depology skincare offers a beacon of hope.
Depology skincare is a Korean beauty brand, has been getting attention for its potent and effective products. It is particularly known for its ‘Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum’ and ‘Peptide Complex 10% Argireline™ Peptide Serum’.
Depology has sent me both of these products so I can test them out for myself. Let’s take a closer look at them.
About Depology Skincare
Depology skincare, with its roots in the fast-paced Korean beauty industry, has been making waves globally. Its products are formulated with top-notch ingredients that are backed by scientific research, making them a hit amongst skincare lovers. Among the brand’s offerings, two products stand out for their remarkable results – the Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum and the Peptide Complex 10% Argireline™ Peptide Serum.
Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum
The Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum has become Depology’s star product. It is extremely popular in the beauty community. This serum has been specifically formulated to enhance the skin’s collagen production, leading to a more youthful appearance. I’ve been reading a lot about collagen lately and using it to improve more own skin – so I’m very happy to have this product on my own bedroom shelf.
The product’s effectiveness is largely attributed to its key ingredients – Matrixyl 3000, a trademarked peptide blend, and an assortment of potent hydrating agents.
Main Ingredients: Matrixyl 3000 and Hyaluronic Acid
Matrixyl 3000 is a blend of synthetic peptides. It stimulates collagen production in the skin, resulting in a reduction of visible signs of ageing such as fine lines and wrinkles. Clinical studies have shown that Matrixyl 3000 can reduce visible wrinkles by over 30% after 12 weeks of use.
Hyaluronic acid, a well-studied anti-ageing ingredient, is another key component of the Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum. It improves skin hydration, reduces wrinkles, and enhances the skin’s smoothness.
Other Key Ingredients
The serum also contains other beneficial ingredients like aloe vera leaf juice, glycerin, and coconut oil. While aloe vera and glycerin act as humectants, improving the skin’s moisture retention, coconut oil provides anti-ageing and anti-inflammatory effects.
Full Ingredients List: Water(Aqua), Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Trehalose, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer, Allantoin, Ethylhexylglycerin, Carbomer, Polysorbate 20, Collagen Extract, Glyceryl Glucoside, Pullulan, Fructooligosaccharides, Beta-Glucan, Maltodextrin, Pistacia Lentiscus (Mastic) Gum, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Xanthan Gum.
MATRIXYL® 3000 COLLAGEN BOOSTING SERUM Ingredients
How Does the Serum Feel?
The Matrixyl 3000 Collagen Boosting Serum is unscented, making it a suitable option for those sensitive to fragrances. Although it’s a clear, sticky liquid – almost like a gel. It’s surprisingly lightweight on the skin. It absorbs well, leaving the skin feeling nourished and hydrated.
How to use:
Apply to dry skin after cleansing and toning the skin every morning and night.

Peptide Complex 10% Argireline™ Peptide Serum
Another star product from Depology Skincare is the Peptide Complex 10% Argireline™ Peptide Serum. This powerful serum is designed to hydrate the skin, reduce visible signs of ageing, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also prevents future wrinkles.
A Closer Look at the Ingredients
Just like the Matrixyl 3000 Serum, this peptide serum is also packed with beneficial ingredients. Key among these is Argireline™, a peptide that’s been named as a topical alternative to botulinum toxin injections. This compound works by limiting the neurotransmitters that cause facial muscles to contract, thus reducing the formation of wrinkles.

PEPTIDE COMPLEX 10% ARGIRELINE™ PEPTIDE SERUM Ingredeints
How to use:
Apply a few drops of the Depology serum onto your palm and massage gently onto cleansed skin. Make sure to apply generously to areas where age lines form easily such as forehead and around the eyes.
Combine with Power C Serum or Matrixyl 3000 Serum, follow with moisturiser; and sunscreens if applied in the morning
How Does This Serum Feel and What Are the Results?
The Peptide Complex 10% Argireline™ Peptide Serum has a similar consistency to the Matrixyl 3000 Serum. It’s lightweight, quickly absorbed, and leaves the skin feeling soft and hydrated. Regular use of this serum can result in a visible reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Customer reviews claim that this product has:
- reduced wrinkles
- made skin plumper
- reduced fine lines around the eyes
- make skin softer

This is awesome, first time to know about this Korean brand but will save it. I’m sure will need it in the future for a friend or my partner. Thank you for sharing!
I love and trust Japanese and Korean skincare products. This brand is new to me but seems to be a great product. I will check it out.
Did you get that gold tray from Dunelm? I think I’ve seen one similar that I’ve been eyeing up for a while! Although I’m just 30, I’m very wary about ageing skin and definitely want to take more care to use the right products for my skin x
They both sounds like great products.
It’s good to hear that you have been impressed with Depology even after just a few uses! x

I’ve been really enjoying using these products. The peptide serum is much thicker than I thought it would be, but I like that! I feel like you can really feel these products working from the get go. Can’t wait to see my face in a months time haha.
