Idebenone the active ingredient in Elizabeth Arden’s Prevage has been available for use in topical skin care since approximately 2005. The ingredient (molecularly speaking) is the synthetic analog of ubiquinone (aka Co-enzyme Q10 or CoQ10) which has been studied for years to fight heart failure as well as some neurological conditions. The compound is used by the body to participate in cellular production as well as known to be a potent anti-oxidant (meaning it fights and prevents free radical damage).

Elizabeth Arden Prevage contains 0.5% idebenone, which is the concentration in which studies and clinical trials have proven that treat and repairs certain skin conditions such as aging skin (fine lines and wrinkles), dry skin and texture. Elizabeth Arden Prevage not only treats the skin but protects it from future free radical damage and virtually without the irritation associated with the stronger 1% idebenone found in other preparations such as Prevage MD. In fact, the studies were typically done with 0.5% which suggested that it more than likely works just as well as the more potent 1% idebenone products.

Even more impressive than the fact that the World renowned Elizabeth Arden brand offers a product which contains the superior Prevage ingredient idebenone, they have also created an entire Prevage line which revolves around the potent anti-oxidant and are all virtually 5 Star rated. The Elizabeth Arden line of Prevage products are reported to get better results than other products which contain well-known and respected antioxidant ingredients such as Co-Q10, alpha-lipoic acid, Vitamin C and or E, and kinetin. Additionally, the products are formulated in such a way as to potentiate the antioxidant repair reversing skin damage as well as future damage prevention.
