And later on he highlights that “Pycnogenol has 4 very important properties: First of all, it’s a very powerful antioxidant [that] binds to collagen and elastin, so [it’s] very good for the skin elasticity and hydration; [It’s] been proven to naturally increase the hyaluronic acid synthesis in your body; It also helps with microcirculation; And, it’s a natural anti-inflamatory.”
