I certainly hope it won't surprise you to hear that I put a lot of thought into all of the ingredients in the Système 41 line of products. Even the supporting actors are there for a reason. So I'm always happy to see new research come out confirming the efficacy of an ingredient I believe in. That's been the case recently for one of the unsung heroes of our Eye Serum.
You may have heard of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) before. This antioxidant is a powerhouse, and doctors often recommend it as part of an anti-aging regimen and to improve circulation and cardiovascular health. However, it's also effective when you use it topically. A study in the Journal of Drug Targeting has confirmed this.

You probably know the two key causes of skin aging are getting older (nothing we can do about that, unfortunately!) and environmental stress. Fortunately, we can do quite a bit to counter the effects of environmental stress, particularly when it's in the form of free-radical damage. Antioxidants, such as CoQ10, mop up those free radicals before they can do too much harm. The researchers wanted to find out if topical application of CoQ10 would make a difference in combating environmental stress.
For the experiment, the researchers subjected mice to UV radiation. Then they applied CoQ10 formulations to their skin. They performed biochemical estimations and histopathological studies to find out if their treatments worked. Sure enough, superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione, and total protein levels were restored to 81.3%, 72.1%, 74.8%, and 77.1%, respectively, compared to the control group. It seems that using CoQ10 topically can indeed help the skin fight off damage.
With our Eye Serum, there's an extraordinarily effective formula full of ingredients that fight the effects of environmental stress. CoQ10 is just one of many, but it's powerful. Give it a try, and you will be impressed with the power of CoQ10.
