Findings
CoQ10 is a natural molecule your skin produces less of as you age, and it's a major player in fighting wrinkles and oxidative stress. When applied topically, CoQ10 penetrates into deeper skin layers and has been shown in studies to reduce wrinkle depth. The research suggests it works by restoring your skin's cellular energy and antioxidant defenses.
