A Better-Absorbed Niacinamide and CoQ10 Gel Improved Skin in 12 Weeks

Graded Moderate — randomized split-face trial in healthy female volunteers over 12 weeks, though the sample size is not reported and the finding rests on a single study that has not yet been repeated.

Key Insight

This study suggests how a skincare product is delivered may matter as much as its ingredients.


Women used a face gel with niacinamide and CoQ10 built for deeper skin penetration. Compared to a plain gel, it did more for hydration, elasticity, spots, and wrinkles. Some benefits showed up as early as two weeks. The trick was the delivery method, not just the ingredients.
