Coenzyme Q10, more commonly known as CoQ10, is an enzyme naturally produced by the body and is one of the most essential antioxidants. It is present in every cell of our body. CoQ10 plays a vital role in cell energy production. With age and stress, our ability to produce CoQ10 diminishes.
Soluble in lipids, it is naturally present in our bodies. Beyond its internal role, when applied to the skin, it offers numerous benefits.
The science behind CoQ10
Antioxidants, such as CoQ10, are often compared to skin shields. They combat the harmful elements that accelerate skin aging, such as UV rays, pollution and other environmental factors.
The benefits of CoQ10 for the skin
Cellular activation: More active skin easily eliminates toxins and makes better use of nutrients. This process slows with aging, resulting in wrinkles and a dull complexion.
Protection against sun damage: CoQ10 protects the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays by neutralizing free radicals.
Even skin tone: It also blocks tyrosinase, helping to prevent and reduce dark spots.
Stimulation of collagen and elastin production: The presence of CoQ10 helps the body stimulate these essential components of skin firmness.
Cell renewal: With better energy, skin cells can function optimally.
Fighting free radicals: CoQ10's effectiveness in cell activation also helps combat these harmful elements.
Fine lines and wrinkles reduction: By stimulating collagen and elastin, CoQ10 helps reduce these visible signs of aging.
