Idebenone
Idebenone is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants for the skin. A close relative of coenzyme Q10, a substance naturally present in the skin and essential for the growth and maintenance of cells, idebenone stands out for its exceptional anti-aging properties.
As we age, Q10 levels decrease, making our skin thinner and less plump. Idebenone, on the other hand, offers ten times the anti-aging efficacy of Q10 and is four times more powerful than vitamin C. By fighting free radicals, it protects the skin from damage caused by the sun's UVA/UVB rays and prevents the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
To maximize its benefits, idebenone can be combined with other active ingredients. When combined with vitamin C, it creates a powerful antioxidant duo that protects cells from free radical damage, improving overall skin health. Idebenone and retinol also provide an effective synergistic effect. Idebenone protects skin from environmental damage, while retinol, a form of vitamin A, improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. This combination is also effective in reducing the appearance of acne and acne scars.
Idebenone and tranexamic acid can also be combined to combat hyperpigmentation. By combining these two lightening ingredients, you can effectively combat dull skin and achieve a more even and radiant complexion.
