Matis Paris Review

Overview

Matis Paris is the name of a skincare brand founded in 1981 by a Paris chemist, that formulates skincare products by determining chemical imbalances in the skin. Matis Paris claims each product is vigorously tested for potency and perfecting the skin. Combining the science of chemistry and nature, Matis Paris joins the ranks of other popular natural skincare lines, and many swear that this skincare line is the best in Europe. Even some dermatologists suggest Matis Paris's line to their clients who need vigorous major improvement.

Matis Paris is definitely considered an elite brand, and it is usually sold in high end boutiques with other European skincare lines. It looks very attractive, and the application of these products is easy, but Matis Paris is tight lipped about how effective it is chemically. For a company that claims its products are proven to work from a chemical standpoint, the lack of proof offered is a bit strange. Nevertheless, Matis Paris proves to be a popular brand that claims to rejuvenate skin. Each of its products are designed to rejuvenate skin in a certain way -- Matis Paris's Fundamental Beautifying Cream, for example, claims to rejuvenates damaged, old skin whereas its Comfort Cleaning Emulsion Cleanser claims to make skin softer and more moisturized.

Is Matis Paris worth the investment? The price might have you thinking twice -- products range from $34.00 to $80.00 per bottle -- and given the lack of information available about how it truly works, this is a risky purchase. Testimonials are raving about this skincare line, however, which should sooth some concerns about Matis Paris.

Product Details

Matis Paris boasts its use of natural, botanical ingredients, but most of these ingredients do not actually have any anti-wrinkle benefits. Worse, Matis Paris actually emphasizes the use of grapefruit fragrances in their products. According to numerous studies, fragrances actually have an opposite effect on the skin and are not suitable for sensitive skin types. The only ingredient Matis Paris uses that actually decreases wrinkles and aged skin are amino acid complexes, mostly used in their serums. Amino acids help strengthen cells in the epidermis, therefore reducing wrinkles and skin damage.

The Good

• Contains helpful amino acid complexes.
• Emphasizes the use of botanicals and other natural substances.

The Bad

• Matis Paris contains fragrance.
• Is somewhat expensive and hard to find in the US.
• Most ingredients do not benefit the skin in any sort of way.

The Bottom Line

Although the Matis Paris line’s heart is in the right place, their formulation is not. Their products will certainly have an effect on the skin, but not in the on that is advertised– it may improve the look of skin, but overall it can’t be the miracle serum people are searching for. For consumers seeking products with anti-wrinkle properties, this may not be suitable. However, the line’s general skin health benefits may outweigh this negative.
