Coenzyme Q10 - A Breakthrough Ingredient

A number of skin care formulation ingredients have been introduced through innovative technological advancements. Among them is coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), which could be one of the most effective new ingredients in the fight against aging skin. Coenzyme Q10 - also known by it's chemical name, ubiquinone - is a coenzyme that enhances the actions of other enzymes, acting as a free radical scavenger and working to prevent oxidation in both the fatty and water-based structures of the skin. It works to stimulate the natural cell turnover that deteriorates as the body ages. It is created mainly in the heart, liver and skin, where it is found in abundance. When penetrated into the skin successfully, it is most effective when used on dull, tired skin that is extremely dehydrated, exhibiting changes in pigmentation, sun damage and increased sensitivity. If your skin is undergoing changes due to premenstrual syndrome and menopause, contact a skin care professional about how this plant-derived ingredient can help boost cellular regeneration - the skin's natural ability to renew itself, and help keep your skin looking younger longer.
