This antioxidant cream is part of a skin care line that claims to use CoQ10 to increase the elasticity of the skin and reduce wrinkles. NOW Solutions, which produces this cream, uses natural ingredients and still claims to bring impressive results. The cream is meant to be used after the cleanser, toner, and concentrated serum. It contains more ingredients for moisturizing the skin, but claims to contains a “double dose” of CoQ10, though we’re honestly not sure what that means, and what the product is being compared to. It is an inexpensive product, costing about $12 for two fluid ounces, which means that it is a fraction of the cost of creams sold in department stores. We are interested in looking at the ingredients of the product, since the more effective products tend to contain expensive ingredients. We want to know if CoQ10 Antioxidant Cream delivers.
Product Details:
There are several ingredients in the CoQ10 Antioxidant Cream formula that could possibly be helpful in reducing the appearance of aging:
Aloe Vera Leaf Gel: Hydrates the skin and promotes cellular regeneration. The hydration also aids in preventing aging.
Sweet Almond Oil: Softens, moisturizes, and improves elasticity.
Shea Butter: Helps cells to renew and regenerate.
Mango Butter: Moisturizes and promotes cell renewal.
CoQ10: Antioxidant and anti-wrinkle effects.
Sodium Hyaluronate: Moisturizes and protects skin.
Algae Extract: Moisturizes skin and reduces fine lines.
Green Tea Extract: Antioxidant and anti-aging benefits.
Price and Availability
This product is available with many different online vendors and costs around $10 – $15. As far as we can tell, it is not available to purchase from physical stores, meaning that you will need to pay for shipping and handling.
For the price, however, we think that CoQ10 Antioxidant Cream looks like a steal. It doesn’t have a money back guarantee, but for $10 for 2oz, you won’t be out too much if it doesn’t work for you.
Overall Impression:
CoQ10 is an enzyme that the body produces naturally, but less so as you age. It has been proven to reduce the appearance of the wrinkles that often appear at the corners of the eyes and is known to permeate the epidermal layer of the skin, which means that it has the potential to be truly effective. However, we don’t know whether or not his cream contains enough CoQ10 to be effective, since it is not listed in the top several ingredients.
Because of this, we can’t guarantee that NOW Solutions CoQ10 Antioxidant Cream will be effective. For the price though, we think it might be worth a try.
