What Is It?
It is a lightweight, quick absorbing essence. This Q10 Effector is enriched with Coenzyme-Q10 that's found naturally in the skin to restore vitality and resilience to the skin. This lightweight, fast-absorbing concentrate applies on without leaving behind any sticky residue while instantly hydrating the skin. With anti-aging properties, this product promotes regeneration of skin cells so that you have a supple, radiant complexion.

Ingredients

According to the page at Althea, the following are the active ingredients of this product together with their functions.

Ceramide - Strengthens the skin's barrier and keeps it protected 

Cellulose - Has strong humectant properties that improves the skin's moisture content
Pseudoalteromonas ferment extract - Anti-aging agent that increases collagen and elastin production

Packaging, Details and Other Labels
It comes in a glass bottle with a dropper to dispense the product. I like the packaging actually, it doesn't look or feel cheap, even if the product comes at a really affordable price.

In Action
The watery gel formula is easily absorbed by the skin and doesn't leave behind a sticky feeling.

My Take

The manufacturer of this product It's Skin is touted as "a Korean skincare brand that provides clinical-grade solutions for common everyday skin problems". If you visit the It's Skin page at Althea, you will see that there are about a dozen different serums and essences, they're known as the Power 10 line, and they really target different skin concerns. So there's one for whitening, for anti aging and so on. That being said, now that I am reviewing this product, I am really wondering why I picked up the Q10 Effector one, since I am alien to the concept of this Q10. 😊 I could have went for the pore minimizing one. I bought this last year so my memory is already kind of hazy. But here we are. I Googled the benefits of incorporating Coenzyme Q10 into my skincare routine and into my life so I realized I may have made a good decision after all.

The funny thing is, I didn't immediately fall head over heels about this product. Sure I loved how the lightweight, fast-absorbing concentrate applies on without leaving behind any sticky residue but at first I didn't notice any significant difference on my skin. It took me about consuming half the contents of the bottle before feeling and seeing the effects. You know how it feels, when you wake up in the morning and you love what you're seeing - a glowing, radiant complexion which feels soft and supple to touch. Can't keep my hands off my face. I also noticed that my skin is less prone to pimples. I would love to try the other variants in the Power 10 line but this one is something that I won't hesitate to buy again in the future. 

I also observed that in order to maximize the effects of this product you have to be vigilant about other skincare steps such as cleansing and exfoliating to promote better absorption. I exfoliate about 2 to 3 times a week and together with this essence, my skin feels baby soft.
