• INKEY Tips:
  • Add a few drops of Q10 to your moisturizer to protect your skin from environmental damage during the day.
  • When layering treatments, we suggest working from thinnest to thickest consistency. Waiting a minute or so between applying each treatment will also help to avoid pilling.

When adding new products to your skincare routine, we always recommend patch testing. Learn more here.

CAN I LAYER IT WITH OTHER INGREDIENTS?Yes! You can safely use it with all other ingredients both AM and PM. What products should I not layer together? >

DO I NEED Q10 IF I AM USING VITAMIN C?   Both products are offering antioxidant properties. You do not need to use both. Q10 is an amazing antioxidant for protecting the skin from damage and targeting signs of ageing. Q10 is a great choice for those who find Vitamin C irritating or have more sensitive skin.

IS IT GOOD FOR DRY SKIN? Yes, due to hydrating Squalane in the formulation.

CAN THIS HELP WITH SIGNS OF AGING? Yes, due to Syn®-Tacks dual peptide that helps providing collagen boosting benefits. Learn more about anti ageing skincare >

WHAT IS Q10? Coenzyme Q10 is a naturally occurring antioxidant which helps to protect your body from illness and damage that can be caused by particularly harmful molecules. CoQ10 produces the energy needed by your body to grow and maintain cells, all of which help to protect your body from infection. 

WHAT IS AN ANTIOXIDANT? Antioxidants help protect skin from free radicals and environmental stress like pollution. Your guide to anti-pollution skincare >

WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS? Free radicals are molecules whose electrons have split into single atoms and are no longer part of a pair. This makes them unstable. Because they want to remain a pair, they search for a new partner, attacking healthy cells to try and gain another electron. Damage from free radicals can accelerate signs of aging, cause brown spots and the loss of elasticity due to the breakdown of collagen.

HOW DO ANTIOXIDANTS HELP? Antioxidants act to neutralize free radicals before they reach healthy cells, preventing damage.

WHAT'S THE % OF Q10? There's 0.1% of Ubiquinone (Q10) in the formula.

WHAT'S THE % OF SYN®-TACKS? Q10 contains 0.1% Syn®-tacks.

WHAT IS THE PH LEVEL OF THIS PRODUCT? PH LEVEL: 5.89

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS? Products can take up to six weeks to show full results, due to the time it takes for your skin cells to turnover and the results of any products to reach the surface. Consistency is key, so apply regularly even if you’re not seeing the effects straight away. It can be very tempting to increase use of some products to try and see quicker results, don't overdo it though. More is not necessarily more, and overuse can cause irritation and sensitivity. 

IS THIS PRODUCT VEGAN? Yes! This product contains no animal derivatives and is now certified by The Vegan Society.

IS THIS SAFE FOR THOSE WHO ARE PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?  Yes! You can safely use it when pregnant or breastfeeding. Your guide to pregnancy safe skincare >

CAN I USE THIS WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION? We would suggest you consult with your doctor to be sure.
