Anti-ageing day cream with SPF
Description
NEOSTRATA REPAIR Matrix Support SPF30 (Skin Active line) is an advanced anti-ageing day cream and broad-spectrum sunscreen designed to strengthen skin’s support matrix and target visible signs of photoageing. This rich yet non-greasy cream is formulated for mature and photo-damaged skin to address advanced wrinkles, loss of firmness, uneven tone and rough texture. SynerG technology combines 8% NeoGlucosamine®, 0.1% Retinol and peptides to help build hyaluronic acid, stimulate collagen, and visibly firm and smooth the skin. A potent antioxidant complex featuring pomegranate extract, Vitamins A and E and Coffee Arabica berry helps neutralise free radicals and protect the skin’s matrix from further collagen damage, while broad-spectrum UVA and UVB filters (Avobenzone 3%, Octinoxate 7.5%, Octisalate 5%) provide SPF 30 protection against daily sun exposure. With consistent use, the skin appears firmer, smoother and more luminous, with improved texture and more even tone.

NeoGlucosamine® (N-Acetyl Glucosamine) 8%: supports natural hyaluronic acid, helps plump and firm the skin and improves the appearance of uneven pigment and fine lines.
Retinol 0.1%: promotes cell turnover, helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and uneven tone, and supports collagen production.
Peptides (including Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7): help stimulate matrix components such as collagen and elastin for improved firmness and elasticity.
Antioxidant complex: Punica Granatum (pomegranate) extract, Coffea Arabica (coffee) fruit extract, DL-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E) and other antioxidants to help neutralise free radicals and protect the skin matrix.
Emollients and humectants: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol and others to provide hydration and a smooth skin feel.
Silicones and texture agents: Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Nylon-12, Triacontanyl PVP and others for slip, spreadability and a cosmetically elegant finish.

Dermocosmetic formulation for topical facial use; non-comedogenic profile is typically reported by distributors, though not explicitly labelled on all markets.
Packaging
50 g / 1.7 oz tube (or equivalent air-restrictive packaging depending on market) labelled as NEOSTRATA Skin Active REPAIR Matrix Support with Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 30.
Outer carton with product name, SPF value, key ingredient highlights (8% NeoGlucosamine®, 0.1% Retinol, peptides), usage directions, Drug Facts (in US/Canada) or cosmetic labelling (in EU/other regions) and full ingredients.
Intended for retail sale through pharmacies, aesthetic clinics and approved skincare retailers.
Usage
Use on cleansed skin in the morning as part of a daily skincare regimen.
Apply liberally to face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure, ensuring even coverage.
In regions following sunscreen labelling, directions include reapplying at least every 2 hours when exposed to the sun and using a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating; however, in typical daily anti-ageing use, it is used primarily as a day cream with SPF.
Can be applied alone or over a compatible NEOSTRATA serum (such as Skin Active Matrix Serum or other antioxidant serums) as directed by a skincare professional.
Avoid the eye area; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
For initial use on more sensitive skin, introduce gradually (e.g., every other day) due to the presence of Retinol and NeoGlucosamine®, increasing to daily as tolerated.
Use a gentle cleanser and avoid layering with other strong exfoliating or retinoid products unless advised by a professional.
For external use only. If irritation or rash develops and persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Contraindications
Known hypersensitivity or allergy to any of the ingredients (including NeoGlucosamine®/N-acetyl glucosamine, Retinol, chemical UV filters, fragrance components or preservatives).
Do not use on damaged or broken skin, including active dermatitis, open wounds or severe sunburn.
Caution in individuals with very sensitive or reactive skin, rosacea, or those using topical or systemic retinoids; such users should consult a healthcare professional before use.
Not recommended for use in combination with other strong topical retinoids or aggressive exfoliating treatments on the same area without professional guidance.
As a cosmetic sunscreen product, safety in pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been specifically established; individuals who are pregnant or nursing should consult their healthcare provider before using Retinol-containing products.
Adverse Effects
Possible transient tingling, warmth or mild irritation upon initial use, particularly due to Retinol and NeoGlucosamine®.
Mild redness, dryness or flaking may occur, especially if used too frequently at the outset or in combination with other active products.
Allergic or irritant contact dermatitis (e.g. persistent redness, itching, swelling or rash) may occur in susceptible individuals and warrants discontinuation and medical evaluation.
As with other sunscreens, accidental contact with eyes may cause stinging or irritation; if this occurs, rinse thoroughly with water and discontinue if symptoms persist.
Photosensitivity reactions are unlikely due to the presence of SPF but may occur in rare cases from Retinol or other actives; any unusual photosensitive response should prompt discontinuation and consultation with a professional.
Storage Conditions
Store at controlled room temperature, typically between 5°C and 30°C, away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
Keep the tube tightly closed when not in use to protect formula integrity and Retinol stability.
Do not freeze.
Keep out of reach of children.
Do not use after the expiry date printed on the packaging or if the product shows signs of separation, discolouration or odour change indicative of instability.
Duration
Intended for ongoing, long-term daily use as part of an anti-ageing skincare regimen. Clinical information from brand communications and distributors indicates noticeable improvements in texture, firmness and tone typically within 4 weeks of twice-daily or daily use as part of a Skin Active regimen, with continued benefits over 8\u201316 weeks and beyond when use is maintained.
Onset
Hydration and smoother-feeling skin may be noticeable within days; visible improvements in texture, brightness and fine lines are typically observed after approximately 4 weeks of consistent daily use, with more pronounced changes in firmness, wrinkles and discoloration developing over several weeks to months.
