Creating a massive buzz in the beauty industry in recent years, Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10, is an anti-ageing miracle worker which is used in products the world over – promising youthful, smooth skin, it has been hailed as a wonder product and for good reason. The health benefits of this product have been known for many years by medical companies, being used to treat heart disease, AIDs and cancers. However, recently it has taken on an active role in beauty circles for combating wrinkles and fine lines. It is believed that it can help to create a more elastic, firmer complexion.
Every cell in the body requires CoQ10 in order to produce energy, helping the body to burn the organic fuel we provide it with through using oxygen. In terms of an anti-ageing product, Coenzyme Q10 is the catalyst for producing collagen, a key ingredient in creating strong yet elastic and hydrated skin. It is also believed that it can help to energise the skin, repair any damage, and neutralise free radicals which can damage the skin over time.
Once you reach the age of 30, your body has reached the peak production of CoQ10 and this is when the skin starts to slacken and become prone to increased ageing. The collagen production stops and the integrity of your skin begins to drop – this is where cosmetic companies step in, promising to resupply the cells with the potent collagen to try and retain those levels of hydration and suppleness. When consumers find a product which can rejuvenate and repair the damage to the skin, it is understandable that the beauty industry becomes subject to a fair amount of hype and excitement.
While is it debatable how effective topical treatments can be when the amount they can penetrate the skin is limited, there is no doubt that CoQ10 can offer the skin much needed improvement and is able to deliver more than almost any other product on the market to date.
