The Ordinary Pycnogenol® 5%
Why you need it:
The Ordinary Pycnogenol® 5% is a natural plant extract derived antioxidant from the pine bark of French maritime pine trees. It rejuvenates the skin, with the aim of enhancing skin hydration and elasticity.
With the ability to selectively bind to collagen and elastin, Pycnogenol® protects these proteins from degradation, helping to nourish the skin from the inside out. Being a unique and powerful antioxidant, Pycnogenol® scavenges for free radicals before they cause damage by oxidative stress. It can also recycle oxidized Vitamin C to restore its activity. Pycnogenol® may also have a beneficial effect on hyper-pigmentation, dark spots and scars so that skin looks smoother, healthier and more even-toned.
The formula’s deep red colour is due to the high procyanidin content in Pycnogenol®.
