Stripping back unnecessary packaging and misleading ingredients, The Ordinary offers an abundance of brilliant, high-performance products at eye-wideningly reasonable prices. Anything but ordinary, this Pycnogenol 5% is a powerful antioxidant derived from the bark of French maritime pine trees that contains naturally-occurring procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids that help maintain healthy levels of collagen and hyaluronic acid within the skin, resulting in enhanced hydration and elasticity. DESCRIPTION : Perfect for those wanting to enhance skin hydration and elasticity, The Ordinary’s Pycnogenol 5% binds to collagen and elastin, protecting them from free radical damage and enzymatic degradation. While doing so, this magical antioxidant also scavenges the skin for free radicals before they cause oxidative stress and has the ability to recycle oxidised Vitamin C, restoring its activity. Developed to enhance the skin’s hydration and elasticity, Pycnogenol 5% is ideal for promoting a smooth, rejuvenated complexion. This powerful formula uses Pycnogenol, a plant-derived antioxidant to nourish the skin from the inside out, targeting free radicals before they cause damage and restoring Vitamin C activity. Apply alone or mix with other treatments for visibly radiant results. Transform your skin with The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5%, a high-potency, plant-derived antioxidant that will rejuvenate dehydrated and tired looking skin, nourishing it from the inside out. Derived from the pine bark of French maritime pine trees, The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% contains procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids that help to enhance skin hydration and elasticity. This clever antioxidant can selectively bind to collagen and elastin and protects these proteins from degrading and therefore nourishing the skin from within so that it glows with health on the outside! Pycnogenol will actively seek free radicals before they can cause damage by oxidative stress and is also able to recycle oxidised vitamin C to restore its effectiveness. It absorbs into the skin in just a few minutes and has a deep red colour due to the high procyanidin content.
