Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Cream Overview

Eucerin® Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Lotion SPF 15 is a gentle, non-irritating way to reduce wrinkles and the signs of aging. Eucerin Q10 was designed as an anti-wrinkle alternative for those with dry skin. Many anti-wrinkle creams tighten the skin so that wrinkles will be reduced or eliminated. This usually leads to dry skin. For those who already have dry skin, further drying of the skin can cause your skin to be irritated. Eucerin Q10 moisturizes the skin rather than drying the skin out. The formula also includes SPF 15 to help protect the skin against premature aging caused by sun exposure.

Product Details

The active ingredients of Eucerin Q10 are titanium dioxide, coenzyme Q10, and Vitamin E. Vitamin E and broad spectrum sunscreen protect the skin against the damaging effects of environmental stress. Vitamin E is added as an antioxidant to rid the skin of damaging free radicals that accumulate. Free radicals are wastes and when they accumulate in the skin, they contribute to the aging effects of the skin. Titanium dioxide works as a sunscreen to protect the skin from damaging UV rays. Damage from the sun eventually causes the skin to look old and wrinkled and Eucerin Q10 fights this damage with SPF 15. Another active ingredient is Conezyme Q10, which is a natural enzyme. The amount of Q10 in the skin decreases with age and therefore the Coenzyme Q10 in Eucerin prevents the effects of the aging process by helping the formation of new cells. The formula for Eucerin Q10 Anti-Wrinkle Sensitive Skin Creme also contains moisturizers that help make the skin feel softer and smoother. There are no artificial fragrances so it is safe to use on sensitive skin. This product is non-comedogenic and it has a non-greasy feel.

Usage

Smooth over face and throat every morning and night after cleansing. It will visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles within 5 weeks.

Pros:

a. Eucerin is non-comedogenic and has a non-greasy feel.
b. It is an alternative for people with dry and sensitive skin.

Cons:

a. Visible results cannot be seen for at least 5 weeks.
b. This product contains parabens, which are artificial preservatives.

Recommendation

Eucerin Q10 is a great anti-wrinkle option for consumers with dry skin, however the natural ingredients of Organic Youth have the same moisturizing effects without the use of parabens. Parabens can be found as an artificial preservative in many anti-wrinkle products. Research conducted by the Environment Working Group has shown that parabens have a possible link to cancer, endocrine disruption, reproductive toxicity, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, and skin irritation. Parabens mimic, block, and disrupt the actions of human hormones and disrupt the body’s ability to produce the correct amount of hormones and disrupt the pathways. Organic Youth’s ingredients act as natural preservatives and therefore the creators at Pure Personal Products do not need to use chemical ingredients.
