When it comes to improving skin firmness, there is no better ingredient than Coenzyme Q10. In the normal course of nature, our skin uses antioxidants like CoenzymeQ10 to defend itself from damaging elements, things such as free radicals produced from UV rays and other internal/external stressors. But as our skin grows older, with cell turnover becoming slowed, the levels of natural CoQ10 decrease, and we need topical supplements to replenish this loss.
What is Coenzyme Q10?
CoQ10 or Ubiquinone is a fundamental antioxidant produced by our body. It is a fat-soluble quinone compound that enhances the action of enzymes and supports mitochondrial functioning for energy production in cells. This is a mouthfull, but incredibley important!
What Are The Main Benefits of CoenzymeQ10 for Skin?
Q10 is a Super-Hero ingredient in the world of Japanese beauty for hundreds of years. It is an extremly powerful antioxidant the the main benefits:
- Improving Skin Hydration.
- Balancing Uneven Skin Tone/ Hyperpigmentation.
- Energizing the Skin Cells To Repair Damage.
- Reducing the Appearance of Fine Lines & Wrinkles (Research has shown that CoQ10 can even reduce the depth of wrinkles and deep expression lines).
- Reduce Sun Damage, Infrared Radiation, and other Environmental Damage.
This ingredient naturally boosts the production of collagen and elastin and also improves better absorption of other ingredients – leading to healthier skin overall.
While the Zinc Oxide in SunProtect SPF30+ deflects the damaging UV rays from the outside, CoQ10 in BioScience penetrates deep into the skin and works at the molecular level to suppress UV-induced oxidative stress in skin cells and inflammation due to sun damage.
Certain ingredients like Vitamin C are deactivated by a lot of other potential anti-aging ingredients, atmosphere, or time. But, CoQ10 is generally compatible and reliable with almost every type of skin formulation.
How Is CoQ10 Naturally Obtained?
CoQ10 is steam distilled in-house from organic Non-GMO plants (like Soybeans, Broccoli, Peanuts, and Oranges). It is then infused in ‘clinically proven ratios’ in our BioScience Peptide Complex with ingredients like Argireline, Matrixyl, DMAE, HLA, Gotu Kola, Vitamins, ALA, Allantoin, Ginkgo, and several other nourishing phytoactives.
How To Restore CoenzymeQ10 Naturally?
You can use CoQ10 in both topical and supplement form. The topical application of CoenzymeQ10 can improve its levels in skin cells. Applying it in a form of a serum formulation improves the skin’s free-radical fighting ability. This makes Q10 an important ingredient of our BioScience Peptide Complex. The formula also has Vitamin C, Vitamin B2, Aloe Vera, and Hyaluronic Acid which improves the functioning of Q10. Vitamin E and A further promote softer and smoother skin. Coenzyme Q10, in fact, promotes the production of natural Hyaluronic Acid to help rejuvenate and hydrate.
Bioscience Peptide Complex is an anti-aging topical Botox serum and is applied 2X times a day (every morning and evening) on your face, neck, and decolletage. With a dedicated dosha-based regimen you will see visible difference within 30 days of use.
Who Can Use CoenzymeQ10?
Since Q10 is a natural skin constituent, its topical application (in a scientifically proven ratio) is suitable for all skin types. It can also be used by those having rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis. However, if you have other medical skin complications, such as conditions like Vitiligo, you may consult a practitioner/ dermatologist before use.
