What is Q10?
Q10 is an antioxidant that occurs naturally in human cells and plays an important role in energy production. The older you are, the less Q10 is present in your skin. Therefore, Q10, or ubiquinone, is considered an anti-aging ingredient – we prefer to call it healthy aging . Q10 is used as a cosmetic ingredient but can also be obtained through diet.
Q10 in cosmetics
As an ingredient in cosmetic products, Q10 has been proven to penetrate the upper layer of skin. It reduces the depth of wrinkles .
You can tell if your skincare product contains enough Q10 by its yellow color . If your Q10 skincare product is yellow, it will contain sufficient Q10 (provided it's not colored) to help your skin become smoother and less wrinkled in the long run.
Q10 in food
Q10 is found in foods such as fish, spinach, and nuts, as well as in Q10 supplements. You shouldn't take ubiquinone at night. Because it's so important for energy production, it has a stimulating effect , similar to caffeine. Your skin will also benefit from getting Q10 through your diet.
