Coenzyme Q10 in skincare – how it works on facial skin and why it is worth using

What is Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 is a natural component found in every cell in our body. Its main function is to produce energy. It could be called the skin's mitochondrial charger —it gives cells the energy to regenerate, and skin maintains its vitality and firmness.

 

Coenzyme Q10 also acts as a powerful antioxidant , neutralizing free radicals that accelerate the skin's aging process. It protects against loss of elasticity and dullness, and with regular use, helps maintain a youthful glow for longer.

 

With age, its amount in the skin decreases:

• around the age of 25, production begins to slow down,
• after the age of 40 it decreases by up to 30–40%.

This is when the skin loses the energy to regenerate, becomes thinner, less elastic and more susceptible to wrinkles.

 

How does Coenzyme Q10 work on the skin?

Coenzyme Q10 works on several levels—strengthening, protecting, and regenerating. Regular use can noticeably improve the condition of facial skin.

 

The most important effects of Q10:

1. Strengthens the skin's protective barrier – improves its resistance to oxidative stress and pollution.
2. Increases the production of collagen and elastin – the skin becomes firmer and more elastic.
3. Protects against photoaging – neutralizes free radicals formed under the influence of UV radiation.
4. Improves skin tone and radiance – with regular use, the complexion becomes more radiant and "alive".
5. Supports night-time regeneration – works synergistically with other ingredients, such as vitamin E and vegetable oils.

 

Is Coenzyme Q10 natural and safe?

Yes — and fully in line with Tuulia's philosophy 💚

Coenzyme Q10 used in our cosmetics comes from biotechnological fermentation , which means it is of natural origin and 100% safe for the skin.

It does not cause irritation or allergy, making it suitable for sensitive skin.

Contains no synthetic preservatives or fragrances – it is pure, stable and effective.

In Tuulia formulas, it interacts with natural oils and plant extracts , enhancing their antioxidant effect.

 

When is it worth including Q10 in your skincare routine?

Ideally… before your skin asks for it.

Experts point out that after the age of 25, the production of the natural coenzyme in the skin begins to decline, so it's the perfect time to incorporate it into your daily routine.

 

Use products with Q10:

• in the morning - for antioxidant protection and energy for the day,
• in the evening - to support cell regeneration and renewal during sleep.

 

Regular use of cosmetics with coenzyme Q10 results in a few weeks:

• the skin is smoother and more radiant,
• wrinkles become less visible,
• the skin regains that priceless feeling of "breathing with relief".
