You bought this because you want that glass-skin glow. Using it wrong literally burns off the benefits in 20 minutes of sunlight.
The CoQ-10 is a fat-soluble antioxidant. Think of it like a shield — useless if you don’t put sunscreen on top. AM is fine. PM is actually better because it works while you sleep and you don’t have to worry about your SPF pilling.
It’s a milky, alcohol-free toner for $34. The claim that got me: “CoQ-10 levels drop 50% by age 40.” Felt attacked. Bought it immediately.
CoQ-10 (Ubiquinone)
The OG energy molecule for cells — literally plumps from the inside out.
Hyaluronic Acid
Not the heavy gel kind. This is low molecular weight — sinks in fast, doesn’t sit on your face like glue.
Aloe Vera
Calms the redness my retinol nights leave behind.

The CoQ-10 is stabilised here, which is rare. Most brands let it oxidise in the bottle by week three — this one stays active for months. Hero moves.
No fragrance. No essential oils. Just straight-up antioxidant repair.
- CoQ-10: Repairs cellular energy + fights environmental damage
- Hyaluronic Acid: Holds 1000x its weight in water — plumps fine lines in real-time
- Aloe Vera: Anti-inflammatory that makes the HA absorb deeper
- Sodium PCA: Natural moisturising factor — keeps your barrier intact

Water-like but with a slight slip. Not sticky. Absorbs in 11 seconds flat. Smells like… nothing. Which is honestly refreshing after all those floral bombs.
Week two: I realised if you pat it on damp skin (not dry), your face stays hydrated for hours. Dry skin? It evaporates too fast. Damp skin? It drinks it up.

After three weeks: my skin looked less tired. The fine lines around my mouth were softer. But my pores? Same size. Don’t believe the pore-minimising lies.
Use it at night if you’re lazy with SPF. Use it in the morning if you’re diligent. But don’t skip it — your 40-year-old face will thank you.
