Last week, I went through some boxes with old supplements. These supplements were over 3 years old. I don't use most of them anymore so I wanted to throw away the ones that had passed the expiration date. I found a box with Co Q10. Quite expensive to just throw away, so I decided to open a capsule and put the content (vegetable oil, beeswax and CoQ10) on my skin: face and hands. And Wow! My face looks amazing! I've never used a cream or lotion that had such a drastic effect! After just three applications. Wrinkles became less, age spots became less, old scars seemed to heal. Absolutely amazing! And it feels great too. So if you have (an old box with) CoQ10 put it on your face and try it yourself. (And no, I'm not selling any!)
