Idebenone
Idebenone, Powerful Form of COQ10
Scientific Name: {2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-6-(10-hydroxydecyl)-1,4-benzoquinone.}
Common Name: {Hydroxydecyl ubiquinone}
Idebenone is a much more efficient form of CoQ10, an antioxidant produced in the human body. You may have heard of CoQ10, used in many cosmetic applications.
Idebenone is one of the top-rated anti-aging ingredients because of its antioxidant benefits. It works because it has two functions. First, it scavenges the body for free radicals. Then it regulates and normalizes energy production in the cell. As a result, it diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As it does this, it promotes regeneration and a healthy, radiant appearance.
Idebenone is widely considered to be the most potent antioxidant on the market. Idebenone can both fight free radicals and actively reverse the signs of aging.
Our skin comes into contact with many harmful substances every day. As a result, our skin is under attack daily, from the sun's harmful UV rays to pollutants, superficial dirt, and grime.
While some of these particles are benign, some create free radicals, accelerating aging.
Idebenone Protects the Skin
As the most powerful antioxidant on the market, Idebenone is the best at protecting skin cells from free radical harm. Following this, the body neutralizes them, then returns them to the skin's surface, where they can be washed away.
As it protects, it also encourages new cell growth and prolongs the life of healthy cells by stimulating proper energy production and utilization.
Few other antioxidants have this same power to protect the skin and help renew the look with just one ingredient.
As the skin ages, it cannot provide cells with the nutrients they need to stay full and healthy. Unfortunately, this creates sagging, dull, wrinkled skin as the cells die and deflate. Idebenone revs up energy production, meaning that cells stay healthy longer.
The longer cells stay alive, the better chance for the skin to grow a new layer of healthy cells before the top layer becomes wrinkled and aged.
Idebenone can help the skin appear more supple and radiant by promoting healthy skin. In addition, it does an excellent job of diminishing the signs of aging for a beautiful complexion.
This ingredient can be purchased in a ready-made anti-aging product. Adding Idebenone powder to other serums, lotions, moisturizers, and even makeup will boost their effectiveness.
