THE MATIS RÉPONSES
Every skin tells a different story.
Your skin changes with time, environment, lifestyle and hormonal influences. MATIS Paris developed the Réponses philosophy to help identify those changing needs and connect them with targeted skincare solutions.
This guide will help you understand how your skin evolves, recognise its current concerns and discover the MATIS Réponse most suited to you.
Begin the GuideWHY THIS GUIDE MATTERS
Skincare can feel confusing because the skin does not fit neatly into one permanent category. It can be dehydrated without being dry, sensitive without always appearing red, or lacking firmness while showing very few wrinkles.
Age is only one influence. Lifestyle, hormones, stress, climate, sun exposure and the condition of the skin barrier can all change what your skin needs at a particular moment.
That is why the right starting point is not your age. It is what your skin is experiencing today.

THE MATIS PHILOSOPHY
A Réponse is MATIS Paris’ answer to what your skin needs today, not simply your age or skin type.
Lifestyle, climate and hormones influence how your skin looks and feels.
Different concerns may appear at different moments.
Choose targeted care that reflects what your skin is experiencing now.
The right care at the right time supports healthier-looking skin.
Your skin may have more than one concern, and your most suitable Réponse may change over time.
UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENCE
Your skin type describes its natural tendencies. A skin condition describes what your skin is experiencing now.
YOUR SKIN TYPE
Your skin’s natural tendency, influenced largely by genetics.
Usually remains relatively consistent, although it may evolve gradually.
YOUR SKIN CONDITION
Influenced by lifestyle, climate, hormones, stress and the skin barrier.
May appear temporarily or remain for longer periods.
WHY SKINCARE CAN FEEL CONFUSING
Oily skin can still be dehydrated.
Dry skin can also be sensitive.
Firm skin can still show wrinkles.
Skin can lose vitality at any age.
LISTEN TO YOUR SKIN
Select the concern that feels most familiar. You may recognise more than one, and your skin’s needs may change with lifestyle, climate, hormones, stress or environment.
WHAT YOU MAY NOTICE
THE MATIS APPROACH
KEY SKINCARE APPROACH
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
A FLEXIBLE APPROACH
Absolutely.
Your skin may have more than one need, and those needs can change throughout the day, between seasons or during different stages of life.
You may combine Réponses to support different concerns, use different care in the morning and evening, or temporarily adjust your routine when your skin becomes sensitive or uncomfortable.
EXAMPLES
Different moments of the day may call for different skincare priorities.
Réponse Éclat
Morning
Support radiance and help the complexion appear fresh and energised.
Réponse Corrective
Evening
Focus on visible wrinkles, smoothness and a plumper-looking complexion.
Your usual routine may be adjusted temporarily when sensitivity or discomfort appears.
Réponse Délicate
When needed
Provide calming and protective support while the skin feels reactive.
Your usual Réponse
When balance returns
Return to the targeted care that normally supports your main concern.
Combining Réponses does not mean using everything at once. Begin with your main concern, then add targeted support only where it is relevant.
