NOW Foods’ CoQ10 Antioxidant Cream

What is CoQ10 Antioxidant Cream?

This cream is said to nourish the skin, and increase elasticity. It claims to use CoQ10 to decrease wrinkles and fine lines, as well as keep the skin healthily balanced. Using all natural ingredients, this cream created by NOW Food also contains Vitamin A and GABA to promote youth and health in the skin. It is part of a skin care line that includes cleanser, toner, and serum, all using the same primary ingredients. This cream is used after all the other products, preferably in the morning or at night for optimal results.

Pros

CoQ10 has been shown to be effective at reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It also is relatively good at penetrating the skin, which is necessary for a product to be truly effective. Vitamin A has many benefits for the skin, including increasing skin thickness. Skin thins as it ages, and wrinkles occur more easily. It’s also inexpensive, costing about $12 for two fluid ounce.

Cons

We do not know if the product contains enough CoQ10 to be effective. It also contains GABA, which does nothing when applied topically.

Conclusion

We are confused by this product, since it has the potential to be effective, but it is unclear whether it would actually deliver. Since it is cheap, it may be worth trying if you are interested, but there are no guarantees that it will reduce signs of aging.
