You’ve heard of the vitamin CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10) also known as ubiquinone and maybe you even take this supplement in your diet. CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant that helps your body fight against all the free radicals in the environment and when it’s added to skincare, can add another powerful layer of protection in your daily regimen!
Some scientific research suggests it helps fight against the aging process and is already found in every cell in your body. Your cells use it for cell growth and maintenance as well as fighting off ‘bad stuff’ that damages cells (the free radials). CoQ10 works just like Vitamin C and can be used along with retinols to help brighten dull skin, reverse UV damage and also promote collagen production. All of this helping fight the signs of aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles!
If you’re looking for a mild active ingredient to try on your skin, this is a great one! It can be incorporated into serums and lotions as well as night creams for intensive overnight facial rejuvenation! While the addition of CoQQ10 powder will definitely alter the color of your products (orange), it will not change the color of your skin with the addition of up to 1% in your custom formula.
