Plenty of skin treatments claim to combat free radicals, but what does that actually mean? Free radicals are molecules that are unstable because they have unpaired electrons. When they get into your body, they go on a rampage -- they'll injure cells, damaging their DNA and potentially causing disease -- looking for a pairing. When we're younger, our cells are able to defend themselves with something called superoxide dismutase (SOD), but as we age, that doesn't work as well. The damage caused by free radicals, especially the oxidative stress from oxygen free radicals, has been implicated in aging. 

It's impossible to avoid free radicals -- from the air around us to the water and food we drink, they're everywhere. But you can fight them. Antioxidants are especially helpful in combatting oxidative stress. MitoQ, which Rejuvé offers as both a supplement and a skin serum, boast powerful antioxidants that support your skin and organ health. The supplement even boosts your energy! MitoQ works by delivering antioxidants to your cells' mitochondria, super-charging them so the mitochondria work harder to repair damage to your cells. Alexandra loves the MitoQ serum, which research has shown reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, scars, brown spots, and skin discoloration. The reparative effects also increase collagen and elastin, fighting the thinning of the skin that occurs with aging. MitoQ serum and supplements give your cells the help they need to fight off the stresses of everyday life, allowing you to look your best.
