What Exactly Is Ubiquinone?

Here's what you're putting on your skin — and why we love it.

Ubiquinone, commonly referred to as Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10, is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in every cell of the human body. As a crucial component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, it plays an essential role in cellular energy production. This lipid-soluble quinone compound is vital for maintaining the skin's youthful appearance and overall health.

In skincare, Ubiquinone is highly prized for its ability to neutralise free radicals, thereby protecting the skin from oxidative damage caused by environmental aggressors such as UV rays and pollution. As we age, the natural production of CoQ10 declines, making topical application a valuable means to support the skin's defence mechanisms and rejuvenation processes.

What Happens When Ubiquinone Touches Your Skin

Understanding the process helps you get better results at home and in the treatment room.

Ubiquinone functions at a cellular level to enhance the skin's natural regenerative capabilities. By facilitating efficient energy production within cells, it helps maintain the skin's firmness and elasticity. This enhanced energy supply supports the repair of skin damage and the synthesis of vital proteins such as collagen and elastin.

Moreover, Ubiquinone's potent antioxidant properties enable it to quench free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and preventing premature ageing. This dual action of energy rejuvenation and antioxidant protection makes Ubiquinone a staple in anti-ageing skincare formulations, delivering visible improvements in skin texture and tone.

Why Our Therapists Reach for Ubiquinone

When it comes to choosing actives for your treatment, our therapists are selective. Here's why Ubiquinone earns its place.

Therapists at Stephanies® Luxury Spas incorporate Ubiquinone into their treatments due to its unparalleled ability to revitalise and protect the skin.

Ubiquinone's versatility in addressing a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to dullness and loss of firmness, makes it a cherished ingredient among our therapists. It complements a holistic skincare regimen, contributing to a radiant, youthful complexion that reflects the inner vitality of our clients.

The Insider Tip

Straight from the treatment room — something most guests don't know about Ubiquinone.

For optimal absorption, apply Ubiquinone-based products to cleansed, slightly damp skin. This maximises its penetration into the deeper layers, allowing its rejuvenating properties to work more effectively. Consider incorporating a gentle facial massage during application to further enhance its benefits and promote relaxation.

Who Benefits Most from Ubiquinone?

Not every ingredient is for everyone — here's who we see the best results with.

Ubiquinone is ideally suited for individuals with mature, dull, or environmentally stressed skin, seeking to restore a youthful, vibrant complexion. Its antioxidant prowess makes it beneficial for those concerned about premature ageing, fine lines, and loss of firmness.

Furthermore, it is a gentle yet powerful option for those with sensitive skin who wish to address signs of ageing without irritation. Its compatibility with a variety of skin types ensures that many can benefit from its rejuvenating effects.

How to Use Ubiquinone in Your Routine

Getting the application right makes all the difference. Here's what our therapists suggest.

Application
Apply a small amount of Ubiquinone-enriched serum or cream to the face and neck, gently massaging until fully absorbed. For enhanced results, use after cleansing and toning.
When to Use
For optimal benefits, use Ubiquinone products both morning and evening. Its protective qualities make it particularly effective as part of a morning routine, defending against daily environmental aggressors.
Worth Knowing Before You Layer

Avoid combining Ubiquinone with potent acids or retinoids in the same application as they may reduce its efficacy. Instead, alternate usage in your skincare routine.
