TIA Review by Marta:
One of my predictions for 2014 was that anti-aging potion makers would tout ingredients that target mitochondria. So, I was excited when a TIA community member wrote to tell me about MitoQ, a New Zealand anti-aging serum and oral supplement with just one active ingredient and a claim of being 1,000 times more powerful than any other.
At the end of 2013, scientists made the news with the discovery that they could turn the clock back for mice. They did this by getting cellular DNA and mitochondria to communicate properly. Mitochondria are responsible for providing the necessary energy for cell activity. Without mitochondria, most cells couldn’t function; and if cells couldn’t function, we wouldn’t exist. In an experiment with mice, scientists were able to reverse the aging process by using a protein called NAD.
The active antioxidant component of MitoQ, mitoquinone mesylate, is in fact ubiquinone, the active antioxidant in Coenzyme Q10. But unlike other antioxidants, MitoQ was developed to target mitochondria. It is accumulated selectively and extensively by mitochondria, in contrast to other antioxidants, which distribute evenly throughout the cell. This accumulation — or concentration — is where MitoQ bases its claims of being 1,000 times stronger than other antioxidants.
It was actually developed in the 1990s at the University of Otago in New Zealand, but there isn’t a ton of research. Medical trials on liver protection and Parkinson’s seem to be mixed. Furthermore, I’ve never found a standout anti-aging serum that relied solely on ubiquinone. It would be up to the mitochondria targeting of MitoQ to make its Moisturizing Anti-Aging Serum a winner. Well, winner it is.
MitoQ is supposed to support healthy skin cell function. And my skin does look healthier — it appears more radiant and rejuvenated. The lines on my forehead are smoother, and MitoQ has made more difference on my neck than anything ever before. The serum is a medium-weight cream, is easily absorbed and has almost zero scent.
I was surprised to see behentrimonium methosulfate listed as an ingredient. It rang a bell to me, as it’s commonly found in hair conditioners. And it is true that behentrimonium methosulfate is used as a common detangler. I was relieved to find that this grapeseed oil derivative also acts as an emulsifying agent and is gentle enough to be used in baby products that are left on the skin. When used in lotions and creams, it gives a soft and powdery after-touch to the skin. Also benign are the emollients, dicaprylyl carbonate and glycerin. There are two preservatives, the relatively mild potassium sorbate and the more controversial phenoxyethanol, a possible neurotoxin.
I will definitely be buying the MitoQ serum again.

MitoQ has made my skin much more even in tone and youthful looking. The dullness I was beginning to experience has disappeared and the crow's feet around my eyes are noticeably improved. This is a lovely, light cream that is dispersed in a pump bottle and is absorbed quickly and without leaving a greasy feel. While pricey, the bottle lasts a long time, 2 1/2 to 3 months so it is a good value for the results.

I am currently using MitoQ, which I love. My skin is smoother and tighter, and I have even noticed that my eyelashes are a little thicker since I started using it. It gives me an extra glow that I have not found with other products. I stopped using it while travelling on business and noticed that my skin was not as smooth and healthy looking when I stopped using it.

This product is likely my best find of 2014. It makes the skin of my face appear brighter and more youthful. You know that plump alive look that we lose later in life?
I have been using in on my decollete recently also. And I was putting it on after my scrub top before work every day. Well guess what? I was missing a lot outside the V-neck of my top. And I can actually see a remarkable difference between the spots that were not missed vs. missed.
Now I have also started adding it to the backs of my hands. Already they appear more youthful.

I have been using Mitoq serum. It took at least 4-6 weeks at two pumps twice a day then one day I noticed the skin under my eyes noticeably firmer and tighter! I'm sold! Other benefits include a smoothing of neck lines and basic smoother brighter complexion. It applies so smoothly and and absorbs without leaving a film, my usually oily skin enjoyed this!

I have been using MitoQ serum for the last 4 months. It is amazing. I am constantly getting compliments on my skin. It is dewy with even skin tone and has tightened my saggy skin. I never thought I would pay this much for a skin care product but I will never be without it.

Honestly, I don't see how anyone could have a negative thing to say about this product. I am in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with MitoQ! And can I just tell everyone... after just a month of using it, I was even complimented on how great my skin is looking by none other than my DERMATOLOGIST! I am 48 years old, I have cystic acne, I am a "picker" (can't leave a blemish alone to save my soul) and I spent more than the first half of my life worshipping the sun with no more than a cute bikini and baby oil to protect me from the sun's harmful rays. Translation: MitoQ had its work cut out for it! I have tried lots of products here at TIA and have been happy with many of them... but nowhere near this kind of happy. I can truthfully say that the results have appeared before my eyes: smoother skin, much smaller pores, fewer broken capillaries, lightening of acne scars, and the list goes on. I mean if the dermatologist is handing out compliments on mine skin... I must be doing something right! That something is MitoQ!!

I'm 45 and my skin has always been in great condition, until I tried Retinol products about 6 months ago. I jumped on the Retinol bandwagon in hopes to have a radiant , line free complexion. Well... not so much. It left my skin raw and lines were popping up from nowhere. I was so depressed thinking I ruined my pretty skin for good. I found the TIA website while looking for products to help correct my skin... and I finally found them!!! I use the MitoQ serum every night before bed and my skin looks amazing!!! My lines are almost all gone and my pores have shrunk to nothing. I do use it in combination with grape seed oil /argan oil and Eshee gene therapy for the eyes. My skin looks amazing and clear!!! I have only used these products for about 3 weeks now and I cannot believe the transformation!!!! Oh, and I also use the LED red light therapy every 2-3 days. Have used it for 3months now and I cannot believe the tone and fullness in my skin. I will order from Marta FOREVER and take all of her great skincare advice.

Absolute best product I've ever used. I'm about to order my third bottle. It's not moisturizing, so I'll often put a facial oil on top of it, once it has been absorbed. But this truly has had the most positive impact on my skin than any other product I've ever used. Brighter, clearer, healthier, and definitely younger looking (I'm 41). And when I stopped using it for a few weeks, I noticed the difference in my skin. If I read my own review, I'd think it was fake... but this product really is that good!

Ok Im 41 years old and I have really good skin. I get glycolic facials every month. That being said I want to say I LOVE MitoQ but something stopped me from buying it again. When I love something I purchase it again before the product is finished. It didn't make my skin any worse, but I can't say that its so much better either.

I've used this for a few months now on my 63 year old skin. It might have helped reduce some of the redness (from sun damage) on my chest, although not significantly. However, I am not happy about its impact on my facial skin.
When using it on my face, I noticed that my face appeared more dehydrated, with fine lines showing much more prominently. Note - When using on my face, I'd applied it in 2 different ways to see if my layering was the problem. First month I applied MitoQ first, then my Brad products on top. Second month, I applied my Brad serum first, then MitoQ, then my Brad cream. Did not change the results, so I quit using MitoQ on my face. Since my face looks much better when I just use the Brad products, I'm wondering if the MitoQ prevented the absorption of my other products....

I stopped using my MitoQ Moisturizing Anti-Aging Serum for a month while I tested another, highly recommended (and very expensive) moisturizer.
Although it was nice, and moisturizing, after a couple weeks, my face started to look a little "dull." Over the course of the month, it was more noticeable ... and the tiny lines under my eyes started to appear more pronounced.
I've been back with my miracle MitoQ for several weeks now, and I'm happy to report that my skin is glowing again. :) I just ordered my *third* bottle, even though I've hardly gotten into my second one ... and hope to never be without it again. :)

I've been using this once daily for about 2 months. I still have plenty left in the bottle, I think. (I haven't had to shake it). It has made a positive difference with every skin care concern I have. Forehead wrinkles - smoothed; eyes - firmed and crow's feet softened; skin tone and texture - refreshed and evened. It's a treatment, not a moisturizer. I still need all my creams, but it's a powerhouse.

I received this in the Discover with Marta Collection and I like this moisturizer so far, but I think this is rather light and would work better for me in the summer. My skin feels soft and smooth after using this, but I wouldn't purchase this because of the price. I have found that many of the new products being introduced are quite costly and are out of my price range and this is disappointing.

Being a New Zealander, I have a love and trust of local products. So thought I would try MitoQ.
An outdoors girl (well 54) living in a high UV zone, I'm sure I look older than most women my age.
MitoQ has worked for me, quick and easy I apply it morning and night, I top it with NTS TamuSkin coconut butter, which seems to be a natural sun screen, during the day. Results are easy to spot, looking fresh, needing less makeup to feel good when I go out. A month in and the comments are coming about my skin.
I don't know the people that made it, although want to say "great work guys...yes!" a treasure from the bottom of the world.

I give it 4 stars because I experiences slight "peeling" effect during the first few days uses. Then asked TIA how to do with it and TIA suggested me to add on top a moisturizer which I did. And it worked. My skin is truly better in terms of softer texture, evening tones, and smaller pores. It really impressed me and I brought another 3 for my mother, friends and myself!
I really want to give it 5 stars but if I use it solely, I will develop dry patches at mt cheek.
I dont have obvious line on my face but I do use on my neck and the lines got less visible. So amazing!

I have received MitoQ Anti -Aging Serum in the Discover with Marta package as well and have been enjoying it so far. I find that it promotes even skin tone and texture.
I am curious if it can be used as prep for red LED. Ubiquinone is a potent antioxidant after all.

Just finished my first bottle of MitoQ, (which lasted 2 months). Here is how I know it works: even when I am hungover and dread to look in the bathroom mirror, I still look great! May sound absurd or funny, but it's true! I look fresh as can be, even at my worst. Now that's a product at work for you.

I've recently added, 2+ weeks, MitoQ to my advanced (truth-in-aging laden) routine. I follow a fairly consistent protocol with the occasional off days, based on time and allowing my skin to rest. I prep each day: cleansing: then misting with Sevani complexion corrector; AQ solutions eye serum. On Day One I use AQ solutions facial serum followed by a round of the Ultra Renew Ultrasound, wipe away conductive solution, and finish with MitoQ and sun protection (Devita Solar). Day Two same prep with the MediK8 firewall, then a round of red LED with the Sirius, and sun protection. Day Three prep than MitoQ (my rest day) and sun protection. Then time permitting I start with Day One again.
I like to drive in the cytokines from the AQ using ultrasound, and I like the combination of antioxidants and copper with the red LED. My evening routines I vary: exfoliation, rest. I've recently switched my rest evenings to MitoQ from La Vie Celeste Extra rich. MitoQ in my routine seems to have really helped my skin-I'd say mostly in eveness of tone and texture. The latter which I hadn't notice degrade until I saw the improvement. Definitely a valid component in great looking skin.
I have been actively maintaining my skin since I was 18 and am now 48. My 20's were spent on department store lines, 30's on Derm's office lines, and my 40's on-line researching and with truth-in-aging. My skin is in great condition I usually find only a small incremental benefit or worse-a reduction from my previous routine when I add a new product. However it seems MitoQ is going to be a heavy hitter and I'm not even beyond 30 days.

Hello,
I'm curious if any one is using MitoQ in combination with Medik8 Firewall? I recently purchased MitoQ based on the enthusiastic review here, and have been both alternating it with Firewall, and occasionally layering the two serums together. I tried mixing the two formulas together to apply them consecutively, but unfortunately they "pill," or otherwise interact in such a way that applying them evenly can be difficult.
Any thoughts on using these products together?
Kind Regards,
~

I received the full size MitoQ Anti-Aging Serum in the Discover with Marta parcel this month and I'm so glad I did. I don't think I'll be able to use anything else again. The first week was touch and go, I don't think I have sensitive skin, but the serum is quite active, I feel a tingle after application, and I noticed some dry patches just under the eye area and towards the cheeks. I've since bought La Vie Celeste Day & Night Restorative Face Cream which I feel is a lovely companion moisturiser for the MitoQ. I'm 46 with and live in Australia, I think the environment is quite harsh on skin and after a few weeks now I can see a dramatic improvement in my skin, not just a little noticeable, very. Tone, texture, creepiness have improved substantially but also a dewiness I associate with BB creams is evident. I really love this serum and I've tried a few. Definitely a 5 star rating from me.

I was very leery about forking out this kind of money, but I took a chance. WOW am I glad I did. I've been using this for a few weeks now. I went out with one of my daughters last night and she commented on my skin! She saw me when I had not applied my makeup and she couldn't believe how great my skin looked. When you get a compliment like that at my age (56) you know you're doing something right. This is a keeper!

Tried the Mitoq for more than 4 months now, applying it religiously day and night and hoping to gain the results everyone is raving about in this forum.
The texture is awesome, nothing like I've ever tried before, but that's all I can say of positive about the serum. Did nothing to my skin.
5 stars 5 out of 5
by Terri
First, I should note two things:
1) I had excellent skin before trying this product, so I was skeptical I'd see any improvement. I am 41, but with few wrinkles, no blemishes, and not a whole lot I thought needed correcting.
2) I owned a natural and organic retail business for 6 years, and during that time tried countless skin care products, many considered to be the best in the world. It takes a WHOLE lot to impress me.
Which is why i'm taking the time to write this review. I honestly could not imagine how I would notice any improvements to my skin. I know - what kind of weirdo narcissist says that?! But thanks to a regular routine of amazing skin care, omega 7 supplements, and a healthy diet (plus good genes, I suppose), my skin was already in great shape. I purchased this serum because at 41 and newly single, I fear aging in a way I didn't really anticipate. it's silly, but there it is.
So you can imagine my surprise and delight when I noticed VISIBLE IMPROVEMENTS to my skin after just a few days with this MitoQ serum! I kid you not: Every morning (it's been a couple weeks now), I wake up, look in the mirror, and the surface of my skin looks soft and glowing. Like I have just applied one of those BB creams with dimethicone (or other light-reflecting particles) to give the appearance of lovely glowing skin . It's like that - but without the dimethicone. Before, my skin looked good because I had/have no blemishes, few wrinkles and no obvious sagging areas. So with a nice primer and foundation, it was pretty easy to make it look good. NOW my skin looks soft, matte, smooth - in short, kind of perfect - before I've done anything! I've even noticed firmer skin near the eyes, on the forehead, and around the nose/mouth area (the "marionette" lines) - and I wouldn't have said those were issues to begin with! But there's no doubt: my skin looks way better.
Which is kind of disappointing, to be honest, because the price point is so darn high. Nevertheless, I will buy more. I can't bring myself to go without it now that I have seen what it does to my skin. It's worth the $120 (and this is coming from someone who makes her own face serum to save money), and I'd probably spend even more, because it really is just that amazing.

Dear Reviewers,
Would you please state your age when you write a review because it would be incredibly helpful (for those of us in 50+ age bracket) to understand whether your results might or might not be relevant for us. Thank you so much!!!

I started almost exactly six weeks before my 35th birthday which I thought was the perfect time to have my personal “grand reveal.”. I can’t say that my birthday brought a big smile to my face, but the MitoQ ABSOLUTELY did! My skin was already in pretty good shape due to my devotion to wearing broad spectrum sunscreen every day since my early teens.
I am not one to believe hype or “quick fixes,” but right away, my skin felt luscious (confirmed by my fiancé), the tone was brighter and my pores looked smaller. By the end of my trial, I compared the pictures and could not believe the difference. The small marks I do have on my face were significantly lightened. I would highly recommend this product for the long term anti-aging benefits. But I would make sure to use a strong moisturizer with it.

The serum is oily at first touch, but after a few seconds, it absorbed quickly and left a soft touch. After one week, I started to see some improvement in the texture, especially in the area where I had a few pimples. In the second and third weeks, I noticed that my recently-formed crow’s feet had gotten much smoother. Also, the persistent lines between my eyebrows have softened, although the smile lines persist.
It did not protect very much from the coldness of Swedish winter and I had to use an organic rich cream when going out. But the texture and the smoothness is very high, so there should be something to the Q10 theory in terms of cosmetic appliance. Although it does not perform miracles, I think that MitoQ is one of the top five products I have used.

I really didn’t notice any difference until my fourth week of use — my skin looked firm to the touch. After washing my face one evening, I came out of the bathroom, and my daughter said, “Mom, your skin looks so good — what have you been using?” I looked in the mirror and noticed that it indeed looked good. Now in my fifth week, the skin around my cheeks is firmer and my pores almost non-existent. It feels smooth to the touch and has a glow to it. The skin under my eyes also looks relaxed. I would recommend the MitoQ serum to anyone looking to get firmer skin.

It does exactly what it says it will do...reduce fine lines, brighten completion, firm contours...all on a cellular level. Of course, I can't swear to that part, but the smoothness and clarity of my skin I can definitely see.

Wish I'd taken a before picture! I eschewed sunscreens in my teens and twenties, against my better judgement and the advice of my grandmother, because they invariably gave me a face full of acne. In my early twenties, my forehead became "bumpy." It wasn't clogged pores or even rough skin, just bumpy unevenness. I tried everything- exfoliators of all types, prescription retinoids, all manner of serums and creams. It took MitoQ two days to even the texture of my forehead. The pores on my nose are noticeably smaller now after a few weeks. I have redness in my cheeks that hasn't changed, but with the improvements so far I'm definitely sticking with this!

Ive been useing this for 3 weeks and see no nocitable difference in lines or firming. It goes on smooth and feels silky Perhaps my 64 year old skin is too advanced in ageing and this works better to prevent not repair. I will finish out the bottle to see if longer use makes a difference but I can't reccommend this now.

This morning, after using MitoQ Anti-Aging Serum for 30 days, I started putting my makeup on and did something I hadn't done in nearly 50 years. A touch of primer, mascara and blush, and I was done — out the door. My skin looked great without covering it with makeup. Wow.
I'm impressed.
I would recommend this product to anyone and will definitely be purchasing more MitoQ Anti-Aging Serum. It works. Two thumbs up.
