Co-enzyme q10

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a powerful antioxidant naturally found in the body, essential for cellular energy production and skin health. As we age, CoQ10 levels in the skin decline, making supplementation through skincare crucial for maintaining youthful and healthy skin. Known for its ability to neutralize free radicals, stimulate collagen production, and repair damaged skin, CoQ10 helps reduce the signs of aging, improves skin elasticity, and protects against environmental stressors.

Ubiquinone:

Ubiquinone is the oxidized form of CoQ10 and is responsible for its antioxidant properties, neutralizing free radicals. Ubiquinone helps prevent oxidative damage caused by UV rays, pollution, and other environmental factors. This protection reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, making it a potent anti-aging ingredient.

Ubiquinol:

Ubiquinol is the reduced form of CoQ10, which is more bioavailable and effective in cellular energy production. Ubiquinol supports skin cell regeneration and repair, helping to restore damaged or aging skin. It boosts cellular energy, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are vital for maintaining firm and youthful skin.

Antioxidants:

CoQ10 acts as an antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative stress caused by free radicals and environmental factors. The antioxidant properties of CoQ10 prevent skin damage and help to slow down the aging process by maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. It aids in the repair of damaged skin cells, leading to a healthier and more radiant complexion.

Mitochondrial Support:

CoQ10 plays a crucial role in the mitochondria, the energy-producing centers of cells, by aiding in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production. By boosting cellular energy, CoQ10 enhances skin repair and renewal processes. This helps the skin recover from damage more efficiently, leading to a brighter and more youthful appearance. It also helps reduce dullness and tired-looking skin.
