Idebenone has been cited as one of the most effective antioxidants on the market today.  Idebenone is a potent antioxidant that is an variation of Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10).  In skin care products, Idebenone serves to scavenge free radicals and binds to them in order to prevent degenerative cellular damage. 

This antioxidant has been shown to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve the appearance of skin roughness and dryness, and reduce the appearance of age spots and discoloration.  In addition to providing the same benefits as CoQ10, Idebenone offers distinct advantages as a powerful antioxidant based on its longer chain organic structure.  Idebenone is the active ingredient used in the Elizabeth Arden/Allergan Prevage product line.  See Beauty Beat’s review of Prevage Eye Treatment.
