Abstract
Cell division, the synthesis of amino acids, glycosaminoglycans and enzymes as well as the maturation of collagen and elastin fibers are the basic processes that take place in healthy skin. These reactions are possible due to participation of cellular energy of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is produced inside the mitochondria. Within one eukaryotic cell there are from several to several thousand mitochondria. The process of producing energy in the mitochondria is called cellular respiration, known also as the citric acid cycle or the Krebs cycle. Coenzyme Q10 is a key carrier of electrons in the respiratory chain. At the same time, it is responsible for the neutralization of free radicals formed in the Krebs cycle, leading to reduction oxidative stress and minimalization the aging processes of tissues. The article presents the collected information on coenzyme Q10, its structure, role, sources and application in cosmetology. Supplementation in case of coenzyme Q10 deficiency in the skin is possible through the use of appropriate cosmetic preparations, cosmetology treatments and dietary supplements.

Summary
Synteza aminokwasów, glikozaminoglikanów i enzymów oraz dojrzewanie włókien kolagenowych i elastynowych to podstawowe procesy, które zachodzą w zdrowej skórze. Uzupełnienie niedoboru koenzymu Q10 w skórze jest możliwe poprzez stosowanie odpowiednich preparatów kosmetycznych, zabiegi kosmetologiczne oraz suplementy diety. Słowa kluczowe: koenzym Q10, niedobór CoQ10, ubichinol, skóra, suplementy diety Koenzym Q10 (CoQ10) został odkryty przez badacza Fredericka Crane’a oraz jego współpracowników w 1957 r.
