Coenzyme Q10 – is it really that important?

Coenzyme Q10 is a truly effective ingredient and in recent years you have surely heard about it more and more often. It holds a leading place in the cosmetics world, and quite deservedly so. In this article we will look together at why we at PANAKEIA place such emphasis on this exceptional coenzyme.

Coenzyme Q10 – what is it?

Coenzyme Q10 occurs naturally throughout our whole body, in every single cell. Coenzyme Q10 – also called ubiquinone or CoQ10 – is a vitamin-like substance. It is essential for producing energy and for the basic functions of our skin, among which renewal and recovery come first. Our body and our face are constantly exposed to various outer influences, whether oxidative stress or other demands, and so the signs of ageing appear sooner. Just as, on the inside, coenzyme Q10 replenishes cellular energy in the mitochondria of our body, supports the heart, muscles and nerves, it can also be a truly strong antioxidant when it comes to caring for our skin. It helps protect against free radicals, against oxidative stress and against toxins from the environment. That is why coenzyme Q10 is so important for keeping the skin smooth and healthy-looking.

It softens the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Applied locally, coenzyme Q10 helps the skin produce collagen and elastin, which softens the appearance of fine wrinkles and lines. Thanks to the way it supports the formation of collagen, it is an ideal ingredient in eye creams as well, because it smooths the skin around the eyes and can soften the look of wrinkles. It helps soften the effects of the sun. This strong antioxidant helps care for the skin against the demanding effects of sunlight and helps soften the signs of ageing brought on by the sun. Coenzyme Q10 helps even out the skin tone. It helps care for the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots, which are caused by an excess production of melanin, by helping to calm the production of tyrosinase, the catalyst of melanin formation. More radiant, more energised skin. Thanks to the energy Q10 brings to the skin, it can renew and recover more quickly and does not look so tired.
