Spring is finally here even though it's still a bit too cold for Spring. There are colourful blooms around and I am looking forward to the coming months. Spring/Summer, the best time to flaunt some skin :) and also when we need to take more care of it. I have been preparing for the warmer months by taking better care of my skin - both internally and externally. And for the past 3 weeks I have been trialling the MitoQ Power Antioxidant Rejuvenation Skin cream. I will be talking about that today. Before we begin on my experience, here is some info about the company.
From the MitoQ website
"The MitoQ story started over half a century ago with the discovery of CoQ or Coenzyme Q10 by Dr Frederick Crane in 1957. CoQ10 is a co-enzyme, a functional molecule present in every cell in the body. Co-enzymes are like catalysts that help enzymes perform their function effectively. CoQ is a perfectly designed molecule and is one of nature’s ultimate antioxidants. It is present in all cells in high levels when we are young but concentrations reduce steadily as we age. CoQ has two roles – as a carrier molecule supporting energy production in the cell and as a powerful antioxidant that protects the cell from damaging free radicals.
MitoQ has been formulated into a topical cream that has a rejuvenating effect on skin cells leading to younger looking skin with the reduced appearance of wrinkles and fine lines and improved skin depth and strength. MitoQ also lightens and brightens skin and reduces the appearance of pigmentation and sunspots. MitoQ topical cream is available today exclusively from MitoQ.com. Shop now."
My experience: The first thing that caught my fancy was the packaging. The bottle design is futuristic, bold and classy. Even though the packaging is not glass, it looks very elegant and the pump dispenser is perfect. It dispenses just the right amount.
The cream is extremely light and pale yellow in colour - like custard :) I was tempted to taste a bit of it. I didn't though :) The texture is such that it gets absorbed quickly and gives a smooth finish with no greasiness. You just need a little bit to cover your face and neck and it lasts a long time as such.
In terms of effectiveness, I haven't noticed any major reductions in the few wrinkles that I have but yes, it has evened out and smoothened the facial skin. Another plus point is I can use this on its own and it works well with my other skin care products as well. And it does not have any noticeable fragrance and I am happy with that.
Overall, after 3 weeks of using MitoQ my skin feels smoother and fresh. I will continue using the product and keep you ladies updated. Though the price is at the higher end(50ml bottle for US$185.00), if it works well then I may consider purchasing it ;-)
