Matrixneedling™ Skin Tone Control Enhancing Cream
Two-step day cream for hyperpigmented skin after Microneedling.
- Base cream + EFX Enhancer
- Reduces transepidermal water loss
- Evens out different skin tones
Skin Tone Control Enhancing Cream is a two-stage day care product for pigment-damaged skin during the Microneedling cycle. It was designed as a two-component product - consisting of a Base Cream and a EFX Enhancer in a sterile pre-filled syringe - to provide the skin with the ideal combination of active ingredients in every phase of wound healing after the Microneedling treatment.
The intensively moisturising and rich base cream is applied on days 1 to 3. With high-quality cupuaçu and cocoa butter as well as natural extracts of kiwi seed, ginger and ginseng, the base cream acts as an antioxidant and occlusive layer to inhibit transepidermal water loss (TEWL) after skin perforation. The Creme hydrates the skin, prevents dryness, promotes wound healing and collagen formation.
After 3 days, an effective active ingredient complex is added to the base cream to intensify the regression of hyperpigmented skin in the proliferation phase of wound healing. We use the CG-TGP2 peptide for this purpose , which reduces melanin synthesis by regulating TRP-1, TRP-2, MITF and tyrosinase. Alpha-arbutin, root extract, niacinamide and bakuchiol help to lighten the skin, reduce dark spots and homogenise the overall skin tone . The result is a significantly more even complexion.
An ergonomically shaped cosmetic spatula made from skin-friendly silicone rubber is included for the hygienic application of Creme. It is characterised by the fact that the material is free from allergenic or harmful substances that could penetrate the body through skin contact.
Wound healing after Needling and required care
Phase | Days after treatment | What happens? | Required functions | Recommended products |
1. Bleeding phase | 1 to 10 minutes | Small injuries and micro-channels have formed in the skin. Blood coagulates and the desired inflammatory processes occur. Empirical studies show that the diffusion rate of water vapour through the human epidermis reaches its peak directly after Needling. Moisturising and occlusive ingredients reliably limit epidermal water loss. |
| Repair Balm |
2. Inflammation phase | 1 to 3 days | The micro-injuries begin to heal, harmful bacteria are destroyed and the body's own collagen synthesis begins. The TEWL is still slightly elevated compared to the initial value and only stabilises at a normal level towards the end of this measurement period. The skin threatens to lose suppleness and form dryness wrinkles. |
| Base Cream |
3. Proliferation phase | 4 to 14 days | The healing process continues, collagen and growth factors are produced. In this phase, fibroblasts are stimulated by the body's own growth factors to migrate into the wound and use the fibrous ring scaffold as a basis for new tissue formation. The success of the treatment becomes visible. |
| Base Cream + add-on |
4. Maturing phase | 14 days and more | The epithelialisation phase, also known as the maturing or regeneration phase, is the final wound healing phase. Here, the granulation tissue becomes increasingly fluid-poor and the body forms more collagen fibres, which cross-link and stabilise. Cell structures are formed to support the new collagen. |

INCIs
The protected peptide reduces melanin synthesis by regulating TRP-1, TRP-2, MITF and tyrosinase. It has an anti-inflammatory effect thanks to the regulation of pro-inflammatory TH1-type cytokines. This results in important properties for anti-pigmentation, lightening and equalising different skin tones.
Arbutin, also known as arbutoside, is a derivative of hydroquinone. It is a molecule that is contained in the components of various plants from the Ericaceae family. It is found, for example, in the leaves of bearberry, bilberry, ash heather and cranberry. Improves the overall skin texture and homogenises the skin tone. Alpha arbutin combats hyperpigmentation and dark spots.
Niacinamide is a very well tolerated and stable Vitamin B3 derivative. It is particularly valuable for oily skin types as it has an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and cleansing effect. A major advantage is that, unlike many substitutes in anti-acne products, it does not dry out or irritate the skin. Instead, niacinamide reduces sebum production, cleanses the pores and soothes inflammation. Inflamed pimples can heal quickly as a result, while the formation of new blackheads is prevented.
Liquorice extract combines many positive effects for oily, seborrhoeic and acne-prone skin, which is why it was voted medicinal plant of the year in 2012. According to the latest studies, liquorice contains over 400 active ingredients, such as glycyrrhizin, coumarins and over 300 different flavonoids. As a result, liquorice has a strong anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, antioxidant and smoothing effect. It also lightens the skin tone and adapts to different skin tones. Due to its biocompatibility and natural extraction, it is ideal for sensitive and already damaged skin.
Plant extract with a very similar effect to Retinol. It combats skin impurities and promotes cell regeneration for more radiant skin. However, compared to Retinol it is less aggressive and not photosensitive. It achieves excellent results on pale and dull complexions.
Gingseng extract has many positive effects on our body - and of course on our skin too. For example, its intensive moisturising effect significantly increases elasticity. Dry and stressed skin is ideally moisturised and appears slightly plumped up.
Actinidia chinensis - better known as kiwi fruit extract - is an absolutely underestimated active ingredient in modern cosmetics. It is an excellent source of antioxidants for the skin, including Vitamin C and several polyphenols. The antioxidants in kiwifruit help to protect the skin from the influence of extrinsic factors. Kiwis are also an excellent source of the carotenoid antioxidant lutein.
Low-molecular hyaluronic acid is short-chain hyaluronic acid with a molecular mass of 50 kilodaltons (kD) and smaller. Due to its short-chain structure, low-molecular hyaluronic acid can penetrate deeper layers of the skin more easily and is stored there in the connective tissue. Here it can have a long-term effect against wrinkles, fine lines and scar lines. The skin appears significantly plumper and firmer.
