There are some exciting new products coming out on the
market containing a powerful antioxidant, idebenone.
Studies are showing that idebenone protects skin from free-radical
damage such as pollution, over exposure to the sun, chemicals,
etc. It improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,
smoothes skin texture and reduces inflammation. Studies have
compared idebenone with other anti-oxidants and idebenone
is out-performing the others.
Free radical damage is what causes wrinkles and other physical
signs of skin damage. According to Dr. Andrew Scheman, MD,
an associate professor of clinical dermatology at Northwestern
University Medical Center, as quoted in Prevention Magazine:
"smaller-than-ever molecules make idebenone an agile,
streamlined version of its chemical cousin, CoQ10. They can
slip readily into dermal cells in the deepest layer of the
skin, where they neutralize destructive free radicals."
Prevage, made by Elizabeth Arden Allergan, is a popular brand
of Idebenone. Prevage is available at DermaDoctor , Sephora and Beauty.com .
