overview

Ubiquinone, also known as Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), is a naturally occurring lipid-soluble antioxidant present in human cells. It plays a crucial role in cellular energy production and diminishes with age and external stress factors. Topical application of Ubiquinone can effectively replenish its levels in the skin, providing antioxidant protection and combating signs of aging. It is also known to protect the skin from sun damage, replenish skin cells, stimulate collagen and elastin production, even out skin tone, and reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
