Preparation and Evaluation of Complexed Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) Antiaging Hyaluronic Acid-Vitamin C Serum for Skin Care.
Article in Journal of cosmetic dermatology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCoenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is widely recognized for its powerful antioxidant properties, sparking considerable interest in its application within skincare treatments. However, its inherently poor water solubility has posed a major challenge in formulating effective skincare products.
methodsThis research aimed to develop and evaluate a water-soluble CoQ10 serum by forming a complex with hydroxypropyl β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD). The study focused on assessing its physicochemical properties, CoQ10 concentration, spread ability, viscosity, pH, physical stability, irritation potential, and diffusion performance. The complexation process was carried out using kneading and trituration techniques, with thorough characterization via validated analytical methods such as solubility tests, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses.
resultsThe CoQ10-HPβCD complex prepared using the trituration technique at a 2:1 ratio (CoQ10 to HPβCD) demonstrated superior water solubility, reaching 17.5 ± 1.8 mg mL
conclusionThis study successfully developed a CoQ10 serum that overcame its solubility limitation, demonstrating favorable properties for skincare application. With its strong physicochemical characteristics and biocompatibility, this formulation shows significant promise for broader incorporation into skincare products.
