MATIS Paris and the French professional skincare tradition

MATIS Paris is a skincare brand with roots in Paris dating to 1936, when pharmacist Dr. Mavromati founded his laboratory. MATIS describes its approach as the French art of skincare, combining cosmetic formulation, sensorial textures and experience gained from professional beauty institutes.

The brand states that its cosmetic products are developed in an integrated research laboratory and manufactured at its own site in France's Cosmetic Valley. MATIS groups its home-care products into targeted “Réponse” ranges, while “Solutions” refers to its professional skincare protocols.

MATIS facial skincare products

The MATIS face range covers the key stages of a complete skincare routine. Product categories include micellar waters, cleansing milks, toners and essences, facial serums, day creams, night treatments, masks, exfoliating products and eye-contour care.

Targeted skincare for different concerns

Individual MATIS ranges address different skincare needs. Pureté includes balancing products for combination to oily skin, including toner, serum and formulas designed to improve the appearance of imperfections and pores. Délicate focuses on sensitive skin, while Préventive includes hydration-focused products and care aimed at addressing the first visible signs of ageing.

Réponse Corrective includes products focused on smoothing, hydration and the appearance of wrinkles. The collection features hyaluronic-themed formulas, serums, smoothing creams, exfoliating treatments and intensive hydrating masks. Réponse Densité is oriented towards firmness, facial contours, uneven pigmentation and the needs of mature skin.

Serums, creams and masks for a personalised routine

A serum can be added before a face cream when a routine requires more targeted care for hydration, radiance, firmness or the appearance of redness. MATIS also offers day and night moisturisers in different textures together with hydrating, soothing, exfoliating and radiance-oriented masks.

This range structure makes it possible to choose products according to both skin type and a specific concern rather than relying on a single universal routine.

MATIS body care

The Réponse Body collection includes products for everyday and targeted body care. The range features long-lasting moisturising treatments, nourishing body creams, hand creams, exfoliating scrubs, dry oils and specialised products for areas or concerns requiring additional care.

For example, MATIS Nourishing-Cream is formulated with shea butter and safflower oil and is intended to nourish dry skin and improve comfort. Sublim-Oil is a dry, non-greasy oil designed for the face, body and hair ends and contains a blend of eight vegetable oils. Ingredients differ from product to product, so shoppers should check the individual INCI list and usage instructions when choosing a formula.

How to choose MATIS skincare

Start with your main skin concern

• For dehydration, consider moisturising serums, creams and hydrating masks.
• For combination or oily skin, explore balancing and pore-focused products from Pureté.
• For sensitive skin, Délicate provides formulas developed around gentle, soothing care.
• For firmness and mature-skin concerns, explore the Densité range.
• For the appearance of wrinkles and uneven texture, consider products from Réponse Corrective.

A practical MATIS routine can combine cleansing, a targeted serum, a suitable moisturiser and occasional complementary care such as a mask or exfoliating treatment. When shopping for MATIS products, consider your skin type, primary concern, preferred texture and the ingredient list of the specific product.

Professional skincare for home use

MATIS connects home skincare with its professional institute heritage through product ranges designed around specific “responses” to skin needs. This makes the brand relevant to customers who prefer a systematic skincare routine with separate products for cleansing, preparation, targeted treatment, moisturising and complementary care for the face or body.
