Coenzyme Q10 for dehydrated skin: how to use it and what to expect

What is Coenzyme Q10

How Coenzyme Q10 helps for dehydrated skin

Dehydration is a lack of water (not lipids); skin can be oily and dehydrated at once. Coenzyme Q10 approaches the problem from a different angle: coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is an antioxidant that supports the energy metabolism of skin cells. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for dehydrated skin.

How to use it

• Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
• Apply coenzyme Q10 to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
• Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
• Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.
