Skin Inc Supplement Bar Coenzyme Q10 Serum
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Alcaligenes polysaccharides + 5 moreWorks
“This technology allows for an effective delivery of pure, potent ingredients, while the humectant-rich glycerin base delivers lasting hydration.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
alcaligenes polysaccharides, glycerin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: alcaligenes polysaccharides, pentylene glycol.
Anti-agingUbiquinoneMay help
“Coenzyme Q10 is a natural antioxidant and protects the skin from harmful oxidative stress, such as UV exposure which can lead to wrinkles and sagging skin.”
This product contains ubiquinone. This ingredient help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they might be able to prevent early signs of aging (like fine lines and wrinkles), at least to some extent. These ingredients will not be able to "reverse" signs of aging.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · UbiquinoneWorks well
