Ingredients

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a substance found naturally in the body that helps cells convert nutrients into energy. In skin it works to re-energise cells, "recharging" their regenerative potential to make them stronger and function more efficiently.

It also has potent antioxidant qualities, which give it the ability to neutralise cell damaging free-radicals caused by the external environmental factors, like UV and pollution, that contribute to collagen and elastin breakdown.

As we age, Coenzyme Q10 levels decrease so cells become less able to regenerate and defend themselves naturally. As a result skin ages prematurely and becomes more prone to lines and wrinkles.

Biotin (Vitamin B7)

Biotin (also known as Vitamin B7) is a water-soluble vitamin that strengthens skin, nails and hair. Biotin activates skin’s own production of lipids (fat), which helps it to return to its natural, healthy looking condition and act as a protective barrier against the outside world.

Young cell with healthy mitochondria versus aged cell with damaged mitochondria

Mitochondria (also known as the ”powerhouse“ of a cell) produce energy by continuously converting nutrients and oxygen into ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Due to the ageing process, the amount of free radicals increases leading to incremental damages in the mitochondria.

Antioxidant Coenzyme Q10 combines with Vitamins C, E and H (Biotin) to slow and counteract the free-radical damage responsible for premature ageing.
The cell-energising qualities of Coenzyme Q10 improve the cellular renewal, reducing wrinkles in depth, while antioxidant properties protect against the formation of new lines.
