Rebuild your skin’s elasticity, naturally. Your skin is smoothed, more even, less red. With the power of Pycnogenol, an antioxidant ingredient derived from French maritime pine bark, The Ordinary have blended a serum that is free from oil, alcohol and water for a concentrated effect. This minimal serum contains just two ingredients. Normally, Pycnogenol is only available at lower concentration or with a blend of potential irritatants or fillers. The Ordinary, being The Ordinary, have decided to offer it at a more potent concentration, carried in a humectant base.

Who should use Pycnogenol?

Pycnogenol is a powerful premium antioxidant. It is ideal for anyone whose skin need extra defense and reinforcement, for instance if your skin is dry, frequently exposed to the elements, or have ageing concerns. This can also assist with redness and sensitized skin. 

This is a good choice for people who want the strong antioxidant protection that natural products can give, without putting oil on their face.
