PYCNOGENOL^® GEL

Maritime pine bark extract gel
50 ml

Pycnogenol gel contains bark extract of Pinus Maritima, vitamin E, pantothenol and Aloe vera. Pycnogenol gel protects skin against premature aging and brings back its elasticity and smoothness. Pycnogenol is well absorbed by the skin and binds easily and tightly to collagen and elastin. Vitamin E nourishes skin and Aloe vera is a very effective moisturizer.

Pycnogenol gel restores skin against harmful effects and damages caused by sun. Exposure to UV-light generates reactive oxygen radicals and triggers pro-inflammatory processes which may cause sunburn. Pycnogenol was shown in preclinical studies to effectively counteract sunburns and inhibit the inflammatory sunburn reaction.

Pycnogenol gel should be applied on cleaned skin in the mornings and evenings. If needed, moistening cream can be applied on top of Pycnogenol gel.

Pycnogenol gel can be used regularly or as treatment to improve skin condition. Pycnogenol gel does not contain any perfumes or colouring agents.
