Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10 for short) is a naturally produced bodily enzyme and one of the most fundamental antioxidants. CoQ10 or Coenzyme Q-10 is a kind of fat-soluble quinone compoundCoenzyme Q10 is found in every cell of the human body. A coenzyme is a substance that enhances or is necessary for the action of enzymes, generally smaller than the enzymes. CoQ10 is vital in energy production in cells.

Benefits of CoQ10 for Skin
While naturally occurring CoQ10 can be digested for energy, it can do a number of things in skincare products too. In terms of skincare, it's usually in toners, moisturizers, and under eye creams, helping to even skin tone and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Energizes cell activity:
This energy is needed to repair damage and make sure the skin cells are healthy, Active skin cells get rid of toxins easily and can make better use of nutrients. When your skin ages, all these processes slow down, causing dull and sallow, wrinkled skin." CoQ10 can keep your cells active and energized, helping your cells rid themselves of toxins.

Reduce sun damage:
The skin is damaged by exposure to the sun's UV rays, which provides a source of free radicals, which can be damaging to the cells' DNA,The potent antioxidant function of CoQ10 helps it to protect the skin at the molecular level from the damaging effects of the sun and from damage by free radicals." As Thomas explains, it works by "decreasing the collagen degradation of skin and interdicting the damage caused byphoto-aging."

Even out skin tone:
CoQ10 works to block tyrosinase, which helps with the production of melanin, which means that CoQ10 can help fade and prevent dark spots.1
Stimulate collagen and elastin production: "CoQ10 supports the bodies ability to produce collagen and elastin,"

Replenishes skin cells:
More energized skin cells means healthier skin cells. Adding CoQ10 to your skincare may allow your cells to better utilize other nutrients, leading to healthier skin overall.
Helps reduce damage of free radicals: Since CoQ10 aids in cell activity, it also means that your cells can be more efficient in flushing out toxins like free radicals and healing the damage they cause.
Helps soothe skin: While toxins are being flushed out, your skin is silently thanking you. CoQ10 works to help your cells remove what's irritating cells and your skin.

Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines:
This ingredient helps your body produce collagen and elastin, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines.
According to Pruett, CoQ10 works similarly to another powerhouse ingredient: Vitamin C. The most common antioxidant applied topically for its anti-aging effects in the US is Vitamin C based, but CoQ10 has also shown to use the same pathway to neutralize free radicals," It is naturally occurring in all cells in the human body, including the skin and topmost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum. One study showed that topical application of this ingredient diminished crows feet and another showed that oral ingestion did not actually reach the stratum corneum of the skin.
