pycnogenol benefits skin

1. Anti-aging
Pycnogenol is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that cause oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress is associated with aging and premature aging. Pycnogenol works by neutralizing free radicals and preventing them from damaging cells.
2. Skin repair
Pycnogenol promotes collagen synthesis and increases blood flow to the skin. Collagen is the primary structural protein in the dermis layer of the skin. Increased blood flow means increased oxygen supply to the skin, which stimulates the production of collagen.
3. Sun protection
Pycnogenol blocks UV rays from penetrating the skin. When applied topically, pycnogenol absorbs ultraviolet radiation and prevents it from reaching the skin’s surface.
4. Acne treatment
Pycnogenol reduces inflammation and speeds healing time. Inflammation causes acne breakouts and slows down the healing process.
5. Wrinkle reduction
Pycnogenol contains antioxidants that help prevent wrinkles from forming. Antioxidants fight free radicals that cause wrinkles.
6. Cell regeneration
Pycnogenol boosts cell regeneration and helps heal wounds faster. Wounds take longer to heal if they are not treated properly.
7. Hair loss prevention
Pycnogenol supports hair follicles and encourages hair regrowth. It also helps maintain the scalp’s natural pH balance.
