Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)/ Ubiquinone
Coenzyme Q10 has exceptional
antioxidant properties. Studies show that it can effectively counteract free
radical damage and provides significant protection against UVA-induced depletion
of cell membrane.
In other words, it will prevent damage to collagen and elastin production
process and help you avoid wrinkles.
In most people over thirty, levels of CoQ10 in the skin are below optimum,
resulting in lesser ability to produce collagen, elastin and other important
skin molecules. Besides, CoQ10-depleted skin may be more prone to the damage by
free radicals, which are particularly abundant in the skin since it is exposed
to the elements. Thus, CoQ10 may boost skin repair and regeneration and reduce
free radical damage. Furthermore, CoQ10 is a small molecule that can relatively
easily penetrate into skin cells.
