Science & Benefits

Ubiquinone is a fat-soluble, vitamin-like quinone found in every cell of the body. It is a critical component of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Topically, it acts as a powerful antioxidant that prevents lipid peroxidation—the process where skin oils turn into pore-clogging waxes. It is 100% non-comedogenic. For acne sufferers, it provides the energy required for cellular repair and helps maintain a 'fluid' sebum profile, preventing the structural triggers of a breakout.
