Hello, my name is Landry! I'm an esthetician at Aesthetic Skin's Winnetka location in Illinois. Here is my advice regarding your question:

Alastin's Skin Nectar is a regenerative serum that is not only used to complement cosmetic treatments but also as a way to support the production of healthy elastin and collagen. In regard to Matrixyl 3000, this is not considered to be a growth factor but rather a peptide. Ingredients that should be avoided when using Matrixyl 3000 are actives such as AHA's and BHA. Using both CE Ferulic and Skin Nectar together is absolutely viable and encouraged for a well-balanced skincare routine.

I use the Nectar alot before and after my laser resurfacing procedures to aid in healing and in improving results.  Some people love it so much that they continue to use it to continue to reduce ongoing sundamage and build collagen and elastin. Alastin makes C-Radical Defense Antioxidant Serum for powerful antioxidant power to protect from free radicals formed by sun, pollution and stress (among other assaults on the skin).
C-Radical Defense is compatable with Nectar and they can be used together.  The Serum would go on first, then the Nectar.  
If this is in the context of post procedural then I do not advise using the anitoxidant until completely healed.   Nectar alone is appropriate until skin is normal, then the antioxidant can be added.
