Description

MD Derma Co-Q Serum contains Co-enzyme Q10 and omega 6 fatty acids. Omega 6 fatty acids improve the structure and function of cell membranes and restores the skin’s barrier properties. Co-enzyme Q10 or ubiquinone improves energy (ATP) production in the cells and improve the skin’s ability to produce collagen, elastin and other important skin molecules.

Active ingredients

• Co-enzyme Q10
• Omega 6 fatty acids

Co-enzyme Q10 (Co-Q10) or ubiquinone improves energy (ATP) production in the cells and improve the skin’s ability to produce collagen, elastin and other important skin molecules. It is a strong antioxidant that protects mitochondria and cell membranes from free radical damage and helps to repair sun damaged skin and reduce pigmentation. Co-Q10 treatment promoted proliferation of fibroblasts, increased type IV collagen expression and inhibits UVR-induced ROS and metalloproteinases-1 (MMP-1) production. In addition, Co-Q10 treatment increased elastin gene expression in cultured fibroblasts and significantly decreased decreased UVR-induced interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) production in HaCaT keratinocyte cell line. Taken together, Co-Q10 presented anti-ageing benefits against intrinsic ageing as well as photo damage. Interestingly, Co-Q10 was able to inhibit tyrosinase activity, resulting in reduced melanin content in B16 cells. Thus, Co-Q10 may have potential depigmentation effects for skincare Therefore, skin would potentially benefit from topical supplementation of Co-Q10.

Omega 6 fatty acids improve the structure and function of cell membranes and restores the skin’s barrier properties.
