Antioxidants In Anti-Aging Creams

- Coenzyme Q10 (Ubiquinone or Ubidecarenone)

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone or ubidecarenone) is an antioxidant naturally produced in your body. It is a vitamin-like substance present in all human cells and responsible for cell protection and production of the body’s energy. Co-Enzyme Q10’s antioxidant properties helps protect you from the free radicals that damage your skin and contribute to aging.

A handful studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) may have an effect on skin and the appearance of wrinkles. There is also research showing that sun exposure depletes the presence of CoQ10 in the skin. This is not surprising because many of the skin’s components become diminished on exposure to the sun. The latest research suggests that topical application of CoQ10 has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
