New CoQ10 Face Cream

The latest Skinflint product is a new breed of skincare known as a cosmeceutical. This is due to the powerful effects of the ingredients. Tests have proven that heptapeptides, sodium PCA and co-enzyme Q10 all work to not only prevent further skin damage, but reduce that which is already present.

CoQ10 is a powerful antioxidant. Ultraviolet rays cause most of the oxidising damage to the skin and CoQ10 has shown that it is effective in preventing and actually repairing this damage.

Heptapeptides
are relatively new in the industry and work by attaching to receptors which in turn prevent the repeated contraction of tiny muscles under the skin. This then prevents the formation of wrinkles. Heptapeptides will also reduce the appearance of wrinkles that are already present.

Sodium PCA occurs naturally in human skin and is responsible for binding moisture to the cells. As our skin ages, the amount of sodium PCA is reduced and needs to be replaced through topical application. It is highly water-absorbent, holding several times its weight in water, which makes it an excellent humectant.

In addition to these fantastic ingredients, Skinflint CoQ10 Face Cream contains sunflower, sweet almond and macadamia oils. Shea butter and Vitamin A contribute to the wonderful work that the super cosmeceutical ingredients achieve.

None of the above ingredients are cheap, however, and this product will appear very expensive next to Skinflint's regular range. Comparison pricing of products which have only one or two of these ingredients indicate that Skinflint CoQ10 Face Cream is still good value for money.
