- Free radicals are damaging molecules produced by your body. Their production is increased by UV rays, pollution, smoking and other environmental factors. Free radicals attach to healthy skin cells, damage them and convert them to more free radicals.
- Anti-oxidants neutralize and stabilize free radicals, thereby minimizing the damage they do to your skin and halting their multiplication. Idebenone is considered one of the most potent anti-oxidants available today.
- Idebenone is a synthetic cousin of co-enzyme Q-10, which occurs naturally in the human body. Because idebenone particles are 60 percent smaller than co-enzyme Q-10 particles, idebenone is able penetrate the skin more effectively to better neutralize free radicals. Idebenone is applied topically in creams and serums, and may also be taken orally as a supplement. Supplements have shown to provide benefits in addition to skin protection, including protecting the heart, enhancing brain function and general wellness.
- Idebenone skincare products from numerous manufacturers can be found online, in drugstores and at cosmetics counters. Prices range from about $30 to over $150 as of 2010.
