Q10 ANTI-WRINKLE EXPERT DUAL ACTION SERUM

The visible effects of glycation on the skin include the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and a loss of firmness. Skin may appear dull, and the overall complexion may be affected.

The chemical reaction between the sugar and Collagen or Elastin in skin can accelerate the ageing process. The end result of sugar glycation is known as Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), which is when wrinkles can appear and skin loses its firmness and elasticity.

Smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol or sugars and exposure to UV radiation have been linked to increased glycation. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including sun protection, adopting a balanced diet and avoiding smoking, can contribute to skin health.

Effective anti-ageing ingredients include Q10, Bakuchiol, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and Peptides. These ingredients help reduce wrinkles and promote skin elasticity.

Excessive consumption of sugars can accelerate glycation in the body. Diets high in refined sugars and carbohydrates may contribute to premature ageing of the skin.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to reverse the glycation process, but it can be slowed down by adopting a healthy lifestyle and a suitable skincare routine. Following recent advancements, in vitro tests carried out on GLYCOSTOP®, an essential ingredient of our NIVEA Q10 Dual Action Serum, have shown a reduction of 68% of glycation. Combining the use of this serum with sun protection and dietary measures to limit sugar consumption helps to significantly prevent and reduce the signs of ageing.
