Skin ageing starts in the mitochondria, not the epidermis. UV exposure and oxidative stress damage mitochondrial function in skin cells, which slows collagen synthesis and breaks down skin structure from the inside out. MitoQ Derma + Hydrate addresses this upstream. What it supports Mitochondrial protection in skin cells against oxidative stress Collagen and elastin production via marine oligopeptide signalling to fibroblasts Skin barrier function through ceramide restoration in the stratum corneum Dermal hydration via hyaluronic acid Keratinocyte turnover supported by B vitamins UV-induced free radical damage via astaxanthin Ingredients MitoQ (mitoquinol mesylate) — 10mg Collactive marine collagen & elastin oligopeptides (cod, saithe, haddock & plaice) — 200mg Hyaluronic acid — 120mg Oryza Ceramide-PCD (rice bran & germ extract) — 40mg Zinc (as zinc amino acid chelate) — 6mg Astaxanthin — 4mg Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3) — 10mg Pantothenic acid (B5) — 5mg Riboflavin (B2) — 1.7mg Biotin (B7) — 150mcg Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin) — 2mcg Per 2-capsule serving. Contains fish. Directions Take 2 capsules with water 30 minutes before eating. 🎧 Listen and learn 🎧 Peptides in Skin Care — The What, How and Why with Debbi Barber 🎧 How to Slow Down Ageing and Promote Longevity with Dr. Elizabeth Yurth Why we stock it Most skin supplements supply substrate that skin cells may or may not be able to use. MitoQ Derma + Hydrate works from the inside out — protecting the mitochondria in skin cells so they retain the energy to synthesise collagen, maintain the barrier, and turn over efficiently. The Collactive marine peptides are low-molecular-weight oligopeptides that signal fibroblast activity; they are not bulk collagen powder. I use it for anyone dealing with skin ageing, poor barrier function, or persistent dryness that doesn't respond to topical treatment.
