Millions of people, thanks to the latest successful scientific discoveries, have the opportunity to live up to a hundred years. But at this age, most people are old people already burdened with disease. But is it possible to make sure that a person in his advanced years was active, independent and could justifiably enjoy an extended life?
Academician Vladimir Skulachev has been working on this issue for many years, whose research is aimed at understanding the mechanism of cell aging and finding effective ways to turn it off. As a result of the scientist’s many years of work, the anti-aging tool, declared revolutionary, was created - MitoVitan, reviews of which on the networks are rather contradictory.
Users are very interested in how effective this tool is in the fight against old age. The theme of the extension of youth excites many.
The product created by the scientist is a rejuvenating serum used in cosmetology. It does not cause any cardinal changes in the body. But to prolong the youth of the face there are quite a few who wish. Especially among those who are tired of continuing the unsuccessful struggle with deep, so-called facial wrinkles. The tool has already gone on sale, many have purchased and used it. How do customers respond about it?
A word to manufacturers
The development of the anti-aging serum MitoVitan was made at the Moscow State University named after MV Lomonosov. The main active ingredient of the product is the antioxidant SkQ1.
According to manufacturers, this component is much more effective than coenzyme Q10 because of its ability to penetrate and accumulate deep in cells.
MitoVitan: reviews
Many users are skeptical. Some even believe that reviews in networks about products entering the market are not worth reading at all, because they are custom-made and are placed with the goal of creating advertising.
Others, on the contrary, complain that they cannot find the necessary information about the experience of using MitoVitan serum.
Reviews of the third express distrust of the tool. After all, not a single anti-aging serum or cream will turn a forty-year-old woman into a girl 20 years younger.
MitoVitan serum has a lot of questions for potential buyers. Product reviews are rather scarce, if you do not take into account the presence of advertising posts. Network users relate to serum with hope, but also with a significant share of skepticism. Cases of cardinal rejuvenation has not yet been recorded.
About the advantages and disadvantages of the product
Many of those who have already used the product believe that MitoVitan whey is an expensive high-tech product that has a number of advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages include its undoubted effectiveness.
Among the shortcomings, a feeling of tightness arising as a result of using the product is noted, high cost and a specific, not very pleasant smell.
Impressions of the use of the product
Some users share in more detail the impressions caused by the use of serum:
- the consistency of someone seems too thin;
- smeared poorly, and this impression is enhanced due to the feeling of tightness of the skin;
- after applying the serum, you want to additionally apply a moisturizer on the skin, since it dries significantly under the influence of the product;
- if you apply the serum at night, without using additional cream, then the feeling of tightness intensifies, but by the morning it passes, and the face looks significantly freshened and rejuvenated.
Users note a decrease in the anti-aging effect when applied over a serum moisturizer. So, the authors of the reviews conclude that the tool should be used strictly according to the instructions.
MitoVitan: instruction
Buyers provide instructions in their reviews, the strict implementation of the requirements of which increases the effectiveness of the tool.
MitoVitan cosmetic serum, in the production of which Skulachev’s SkQ1 ions are used, should be applied in the direction of massage lines to clean moisturized skin of the face and around the eyes until completely absorbed.
In this case, you can use light massaging and patting movements. They will contribute to a deeper penetration of the composition, weaken the muscles, activate the blood circulation, saturate the tissues with oxygen.
If insufficient hydration (a feeling of tightness) is noted, it is necessary to apply a main cream on the skin after the serum has dried. MitoVitan serum is used for 10 days 1-2 times a day, morning and evening, 15-20 minutes before going outside or going to bed.
About performance
The first results from the use of serum - the effect of rejuvenation and reduction of facial wrinkles (as users write) - become noticeable in the second or third month.
If applied to the skin of the entire face, the packaging may last for a month of use. If you apply the composition only around the eyes, as well as on the skin of the forehead, that is, on problem areas, as some do, it lasts for 3 months. As a result, after two months, deep wrinkles go away by 80%.
According to buyers
Buyers are satisfied with the effectiveness of the serum, but consider the medicinal smell of the product unpleasant, although they note that it does not remain on the skin.
The cost of the drug is too high for many - 2800 rubles.
User wishes
The authors of the reviews note the lack of information on the action of serum on the Internet, as well as experimental confirmation of its effectiveness.
Many would like to learn more about the history of the product: its authors, manufacturer.
The information further presented in the article will fill this gap.
Products based on "Skulachev ions" (SkQ1)
According to the developers, MitoVitan whey is a product that uses the achievements of academician V. Skulachev. Many remember the sensational publications about her in the media. The product, which was based on the "Skulachev ions", was positioned as a revolutionary breakthrough in cosmetology. Promising research has become the theoretical basis for the production of two products for which a great future is expected in the future. It:
- eye drops "Visomitin";
- cosmetic product "MitoVitan" (MitoVitan).

Anti-Aging Serum
MitoVitan SkQ 1 is the first interventional serum in the world to interrupt the aging process.
It was developed at Moscow State University named after MV Lomonosov and supported by the innovation company Mitotech.
Intervention (lat. Interventio - "intervention") is the only way to interrupt the biological aging program embedded in human genes.
In mitochondria (cell energy stations), with age, this program increases the production of free radicals and the synthesis of toxic proteins. As a result, the course of oxidative processes is disrupted, cascading changes are growing like an avalanche, leading to aging and premature death of the body. All cellular structures are subject to these changes.
A feature of the MitoVitan product is its ability to interrupt, stop the cell aging process.
Innovation: Directional Antioxidant
MitoVitan serum stops the cell aging process at the level of the mitochondrial organelle. Its main active ingredient providing this ability is an innovative product, the result of many years of research by Academician V.P. Skulachev, an antioxidant of directed action SkQ1, which represents a new class of active substances. He is called by the name of the creator - "Skulachev’s ion".
Under the guidance of an academician at Moscow State University. MV Lomonosov created and confirmed a fundamentally new physical method for delivering cells to the mitochondria with an accuracy of 1 nanometer of the extremely effective antioxidant SkQ1.
SkQ1 penetrates the cell and enters the fight against free radicals. In this case, the formation of poisonous proteins at the place of their appearance is disabled by the ion - their synthesis is blocked inside the cell organelles. Other antioxidants cannot afford such a solution, since the process depends on the unique physical properties of the created molecule. Under the influence of SkQ1, the reactions of transfer, damage and apoptosis are prevented. There is a shift of balance towards the regeneration (restoration) of the cell, the aging process is interrupted.
The importance of discovery for the development of cosmetology
The effectiveness of Skulachev’s ions has been confirmed by many years of scientific and clinical research, which have shown that SkQ1 helps to slow down, stop or reverse the development of aging in the body’s tissues. From an aesthetic point of view, this is most important for an organ whose aging begins faster than all the rest - our skin. At a time when the whole body is still in good physical shape, the first signs of aging are sometimes already noted on the face.
On the uniqueness of "Skulachev’s ions"
The uniqueness of Skulachev's discovery lies in the fact that, being an extremely effective antioxidant (exceeds the efficiency of coenzyme Q10 by a thousand times), SkQ1 penetrates into cells and accumulates in mitochondria - the site of the formation of free radicals (reactive oxygen species).
Penetrating into the cell, he destroys them, after which it is restored. SkQ1 remains at the boundary of the organelle. Its presence prevents the appearance of free radicals and disables the aging mechanism of the cell.
Due to its unique charge, SkQ is the only proven form of a molecule that can transport an antioxidant to mitochondria.
"The motor of our cells"
Mitochondria are a kind of energy plants in which nutrients are burned and oxidized, releasing the energy necessary for the body. They can be called the "motor" of the cell. Due to the action of the aging program in the human genes, the biological protection of the cell decreases over time, as a result of which it is destroyed by free radicals (highly reactive molecules).
How does skin aging occur?
Under the damaging effects of free radicals, the number of cells decreases and tissues age.
A decrease in cellularity leads to thinning of the skin, its degradation: the production of substances necessary to ensure skin elasticity - elastins and collagen, as well as polysaccharides, which are responsible for saturating it with moisture, is reduced.
At a young age, the speed of regeneration (rebirth) is sufficient to maintain the required number of cells and their quality. The skin has a significant thickness, it has the proper amount of elastin and other substances necessary to maintain a youthful appearance. With age, there is a shift in the balance towards cell death - aging.
The results of the intervention of "Skulachev’s ions"
With Skulachev’s ions (SkQ1), the aging program is interrupted, cell oxidation stops, which saves them from apoptosis (dying). The aging process is interrupted, and there is a shift in the balance towards regeneration (recovery), which means rejuvenation.
The use of MitoVitan serum based on "Skulachev’s ions (SkQ1)" is another, new and yet insufficiently applied method in practice to combat the signs of old age. According to users, the serum really helps to significantly reduce deep facial wrinkles. According to the developers, the product will allow everyone to always remain young and beautiful.
