Why Men On Statins Are Aging 10 Years Faster (And What To Do About It)

If you take a statin and you've noticed dark circles, eye bags, or that "tired" look that no amount of sleep seems to fix—read this now.

There's a silent deficiency that's aging your face from the inside out—but your doctor can't test for it.

If you or a loved one take a statin, and you've noticed your face looks older, more tired, or like you "aged overnight"—this urgent warning is for you.

You see, while this deficiency can hit anyone at any time…

People who take statins are at MAJOR RISK.

Because while statins help block cholesterol…

They also block a critical substance your skin desperately needs to repair and regenerate.

Something that fuels every cell in your body.

Something that keeps your skin firm, your under-eyes tight, and your face looking rested.

That something is called Coenzyme Q10—CoQ10 for short.

CoQ10 is naturally found in all of your cells.

And it is critical for making the energy your skin requires to rebuild itself…

None more so than the thin, delicate skin around your eyes.

But taking statins—as well as normal aging—drain your body's CoQ10 stores…

Leaving your face, eyes, and skin desperate for the cellular energy it needs.

In fact, scientific research shows that: "Statins may lower the level of CoQ10 up to 40%..."

And that's ON TOP of what you're losing each year just by getting older.

And here's the scariest part…

Your cells could be STARVING for CoQ10, but blood tests won't even catch it.

According to Cleveland Clinic:

"Your blood levels of CoQ10 can be in normal range, but you could still be deficient…"

So while your "normal" bloodwork gives you a false sense of security…

This dangerous deficiency is quietly aging your face—making you look tired, worn, and years older than you feel.

That's why it's critical you know what I'm going to share today:

The three warning signs to watch out for…

What you can do right now to fix them…

Plus, the right way to restore your skin from the inside out—so you can actually see and feel the results.

(It's not as simple as slapping on an eye cream, but I'll share exactly what works.)

So if you or a loved one has even one of these signs, you'll want to read to the end for critical information you can't afford to miss.

3 Signs Your Statin Is Aging Your Face From The Inside Out

Sign #1: Eye Bags That Won't Go Away

You're sleeping fine.

Maybe even better than before.

But every morning—same thing.

Puffy. Baggy. Dark circles.

You look like you're on a very long vacation… lots of bags.

Your wife asks if you're okay. Coworkers assume you were up all night.

You weren't.

Here's what's happening:

Statins block an enzyme called HMG-CoA reductase.

Good for cholesterol.

But that same enzyme is required to produce CoQ10—the compound your cells need for energy and repair.

Without enough CoQ10, the thin skin under your eyes can't regenerate properly.

Blood pools. Tissue sags. Darkness sets in.

And no amount of sleep fixes it.

Because the problem isn't external.

It's cellular.

Sign #2: Your Skin Looks "Weathered" (Even Though You Feel Fine)

You're in decent shape.

Maybe you've lost some weight this year. Eating better. Moving more.

But your face didn't get the memo.

It looks… older. Worn. Weathered.

Like you've been fighting off the hounds of time—and losing.

One review I read put it perfectly:

"I look in the mirror and I still see my father looking back at me."

That's not aging.

That's accelerated aging.

And research shows it's linked to oxidative stress—the cellular damage that happens when your antioxidant defenses are depleted.

CoQ10 is one of your body's most powerful antioxidants.

Statins drain it.

So does age.

The result?

Your skin's repair system runs on empty.

And it shows.

Sign #3: Your Skin Doesn't Heal Like It Used To

You nick yourself shaving.

A few days later—still there.

Sun damage that used to fade? Now it stays.

Little irritations that should disappear overnight? They linger.

One guy I talked to said:

"I'm a 50 year old man that spends a lot of time outdoors hiking.

And I'm starting to get crows feet and other old age wear and tear."

He thought it was just age.

It wasn't.

Your skin is constantly repairing itself.

Every day, old cells die and new cells take their place.

But that process requires energy.

Cellular energy.

The kind CoQ10 produces.

When your CoQ10 levels drop, your skin's repair system slows down.

Damage accumulates faster than your body can fix it.

That's why you look "weathered."

That's why you look in the mirror and see your father staring back.
It's not time catching up with you.

It's your cells running out of fuel.

Why Eye Creams Won't Fix This

Let me save you some money.

That $40 jar?

It might soften your skin.

But it won't fix the root cause.

Because eye creams work on the surface.

The problem is underneath.

Deep in your cells.

Where energy is made—or not made.

If your CoQ10 levels are depleted, no topical product will restore them.

You need to rebuild from the inside.

The Ingredient Most Doctors Don't Know About

Now, before you run to CVS and grab a bottle of CoQ10, know this:
CoQ10 is critical.

Your body also needs something to protect that CoQ10 before it gets destroyed.

That something is Astaxanthin.

You see, oxidative stress—the same cellular damage that's aging your face—destroys CoQ10 before it can do its job.

So you take a supplement. It enters your bloodstream. And it gets burned up before it ever reaches your skin.

So even if you're taking a CoQ10 supplement—your body might not be able to use it properly.

That's why so many men try CoQ10 and feel nothing.

They had the fuel. But nothing to protect it.

What Actually Works

After years of seeing men struggle with this—men who were doing everything right but still looking exhausted—I helped develop a formula that addresses the real problem.

Not just CoQ10.

But the full system.

Performance Skin From Within combines:

CoQ10 — the cellular energy your skin needs to repair and regenerate

Astaxanthin — a powerful antioxidant that's 6,000x stronger than Vitamin C for fighting oxidative damage

Zinc — essential for skin healing and reducing inflammation

Ashwagandha (KSM-66) — clinically shown to lower cortisol, the stress hormone that accelerates skin aging

Vitamin C — supports collagen production and enhances CoQ10 absorption

This isn't another cream.

This is targeted internal support for men whose faces are showing the toll of statins, stress, and time.

What You Can Expect

Look, I'm not going to promise miracles.

If someone tells you a product will make you look 30 again—run.

But here's what men are actually saying:

"My wife commented way before I noticed a change—and I never told her I was using it."

"When I meet up with old friends my age, I constantly get remarks on how young I look."

"It's not like I got plastic surgery or anything, but it honestly does work."

That's what real results look like.

Not magic.

Just your face catching up to how you actually feel.
