Try the Power of Q10 for Yourself

The global success surrounding the discovery of Q10 has revolutionized skin care. Apply the replenishing formula of NIVEA Q10 Plus Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream regularly before you go to sleep to see a difference in your skin’s ability to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

The History of NIVEA Anti-Aging Skin Care

NIVEA has over a century of experience when it comes to beauty and skin care. Our goal since 1911 has always been – to provide better skin care for everyone. However, our range of products has expanded dramatically.

25 years ago, a team around Franz Stäb one of NIVEA’s leading biologists, started researching substances that make lasting changes to the skin. They first looked into substances that occur naturally in the body, one of which was Q10. Their research led them to discover that Q10 benefits the skin in a truly amazing way. It exhibits a unique double function in our skin by enhancing the energy production of skin cells and at the same time, helping to prevent free radicals from damaging cells and causing aging skin.

In 1998, the first NIVEA anti-aging cream with Q10 was introduced into the market and was highly praised for its effectiveness in smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles. Now, the benefits of Q10 can be found all across the NIVEA Q10 Plus product range.

The Key Question: What age should you start using Anti-Aging products?

The aging process is unique to each person and there are many different factors that influence it. The most important thing is to choose your products which match your age.

If you’re between the ages of 20 – 30, is a good time to start thinking about giving your skin the protection it needs. For younger women in their 20s, the focus should be on UVA protection from the sun, and anti-aging ingredients like creatine and hyaluronic acid.

The Perfect & Radiant Day Cream is a great way to start protecting your skin at a young age. Not only does it contain SPF 15 for protecting against UV-induced skin-aging, the formula helps to improve skin by maintaining its hydration and suppleness.

 

What makes sunscreen such a vital part of your Anti-Aging routine?

Prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate protection is one of the biggest causes of premature skin aging. UVA rays damage the elastin in our skin, which eventually leads to wrinkles and sagging skin. Using sun cream or lotion with a SPF 15 or more is a great element to add to your anti-aging routine.
