Idebenone, a Breakthrough in Anti Aging Skin Care Products

This article is another in a series in which AgeNotes.Com is discussing details about the ten best over the counter skin care ingredients for effective anti aging skin care. You may wish to review AgeNotes.Com’s list of the ten best anti aging skin care ingredients.

Idebenone: This substance is a relatively recent player in the frothy anti aging skin care market. You do not need to know about all the chemistry which led to it’s isolation as a skin aid, just that it has been shown to have positive anti-wrinkle properties. Skin care vendors have embraced it lovingly and introduced idebenone formulations at some rather pricey levels, probably based more on newness than on enhanced effectiveness as an anti-wrinkle fighter. One benefit is that it has been proven to be safe.

Allure Magazine, in it’s October, 2004 edition quotes Neil Sadick, clinical professor of dermatology at the Weil Medical School at Cornell University saying, “Most antioxidants do not have scientific data to back up their claims. Idebenone does - its ability to protect cells and inhibit inflammation has been proven.”
