Pyconogenol® for Skin
Pycnogenol® is a super antioxidant in that it is 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in fighting free radicals. It is dramatically more effective than lipoic acid and grapeseed extract. Studies have shown that it is 98% effective in fighting free radicals and aging in skin tissue. In addition to its potent antioxidant activity, Pycnogenol® also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, and supports microcirculation.
Wrinkles are a result of the breakdown of the fibers that support our skin, namely, collagen and elastin. Pycnogenol ® works by binding to these fibers thereby inhibiting enzymes and free radicals from breaking them down. As a result, the development of wrinkles is deterred.
One of the most profound causes of premature skin damage is photo-aging, that caused by the prolonged exposure to the sun. Pycnogenol® protects the skin from accelerated aging that results from exposure harmful ultra-violet rays. UV radiation damages collagen and elastin, creates free radical damage, and causes skin inflammation. Pycnogenol® contains substances that decrease the symptoms of chronic inflammation and protect the skin from sun damage, pollution, and damaging free radicals. Pycnogenol® is a vital for healthy skin that glows. It is quickly absorbed by the skin and retained for as long as 72 hours while it neutralizes free radicals and prevents oxidation.
