WHY LIFECELL WORKS
A CLOSER LOOK AT LIFECELL'S INGREDIENTS:  UBIQUINONE

To further boost our skin's ability to erase the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of aging, anti-aging LifeCell has another ultra-powerful antioxidant Ubiquinone.  Most scientists say that this antioxidant clearly out-shines all other antioxidants.

A few cosmetic companies put Ubiquinone or its patented derivative Idebenone by itself and then claim that their product fights all causes of aging.  Even though Ubiquinone is a very powerful antioxidant, we must remember that one ingredient cannot "do it all."

So, what is so great about Ubiquinone?

Numerous independent studies conclude that Ubiquinone has the ability to:

1.      help shield our skin from environmental damage
2.      improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
3.      help reduce dryness
4.      smooth skin texture.

Ubiquinone has in fact, unleashed a mad frenzy of excitement among some of the most reputed doctors.  Doctors are all vouching for the efficacy of Ubiquinone and its derivative, Idebenone.  Doctors aren't alone in their excitement.  Ubiquinone has also captured the imagination of the news media and has sparked the biggest buzz of a wrinkle-reducing ingredient in the last 50 years.

This is because when researchers tested and compared the efficacy of six of the most potent antioxidants known to science (including a Ubiquinone derivative); their effects on preventing free-radical skin-damage, the Ubiquinone derivative received a score of 95 out of 100.  This is the highest score among all of the six leading antioxidants.

In addition to that, some European scientists conducted double-blind placebo tests on the efficacy of Ubiquinone on aging skin and wrinkles.  They concluded Ubiquinone drastically reduces free-radical damage to our skin (no surprise here). However, what left even the researchers astounded was that it showed great potency to reduce the most stubborn form of wrinkles.  The crow's feet.  To quote verbatim from the study:

"wrinkles around the region of the eyes ("crow's feet") could be reduced significantly by long-term application [of Ubiquinone]"

As if that's not amazing enough, Ubiquinone is likewise indispensable in the battle against wrinkles for another major reason.  It may literally make years disappear off your face.  Now, while that statement sounds a bit trite, listen to the juicy little fact that makes it believable.

Like an aging person, an aging cell has considerably diminished energy.  Decreased cellular energy diminishes our body's ability to generate new skin cells or to remove dead cells from the skin's surface.  This is the reason why our skin regenerates every 21 days when we're young and every 45 days when we reach around 50 years of age.

What?s great about Ubiquinone is that it goes right into our cell's slowed-down "power plants" (the mitochondria) and helps supercharge it.  Increased cellular energy accelerates our body's ability to speed up the removal of dead skin and reveal fresh new skin.  It also boosts our body's ability to produce collagen, elastin and other important skin molecules, helping our skin look young, healthy and wrinkle-free.

And this is yet another reason why LifeCell works.
