Ingredient

CoQ10 (Ubiquinone)

A cellular energy molecule that doubles as a powerful antioxidant — helping defend skin against environmental aging and supporting a more even-looking tone.

What it does

Helps neutralize free radicals at the cellular level, supports the look of a more even complexion, and helps defend against visible signs of premature environmental aging.

Glow notes

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), also known as ubiquinone, is a naturally occurring molecule that plays a central role in cellular energy production (ATP synthesis). It is also a potent fat-soluble antioxidant found naturally in the skin — but levels decline with age and with exposure to UV radiation and environmental stressors. In topical skincare, CoQ10 helps replenish this antioxidant activity, helping defend against oxidative damage and helping reduce the appearance of signs associated with photodamage. In Dream Crème, CoQ10 is paired with HPR (a gentle retinoid) and Lipochroman to form a comprehensive overnight renewal formula.
