CoQ10 For Healthy, Youthful Skin

Research has long noted that there is a strong association between aging and mitochondrial functioning.  The mitochondria is the cells “power plant” that produces energy for the body to function.  Dysfunction of the mitochondria has been linked to numerous diseases and negative health issues.  Research has also shown that mitochondrial functioning also plays an important role in healthy skin.

Fibroblast cells are essential for healthy, youthful skin.  They produce collagen and elastin which provide elasticity and structural support for the skin.  With aging and the corresponding mitochondrial dysfunction, the fibroblast cells lack the energy to produce the skin-supporting functions.*  This lack of energy by the skin cells leads to skin aging.

Coenzyme Q10 is known to be involved in and support healthy mitochondrial energy production.  Researchers have shown that oral and topical use of CoQ10 will increase deficient CoQ10 levels in the skin’s cells, thus addressing one of the important issues involved with causing skin to age.

Purely Clear believes cellular energy production is a key to not only skin health but every aspect of human health and functioning.  This is why we use CoQ10 in our purifier/toner/nourisher and intensive repair and wrinkle serum.
