Coenzyme Q10

Topical coenzyme Q10 restores energy in aging skin cells, neutralizes free radicals, and replenishes natural Q10 levels to soften visible signs of aging. It suits dry skin and oily skin best, and is most commonly available in creams. This ingredient fits easily into a routine, as it works well with retinol, bio-placenta peptides, and hexapeptide.
