The results have shown that skin elasticity could improve by up to 25% and also dramatically rehydrate the skin
In tests twenty healthy women aged 55 to 68 were given Pycnogenol, a branded oral supplement or capsule containing the antioxidant. The results were pretty impressive.
After the clinical tests had been completed a biopsy was undertaken to assess the levels of hyaluronic acid – hyaluronic acid has been found to be extremely beneficial to the skin.
Production of the acid was raised by 44 per cent, in addition skin elasticity was increased by 25 percent and skin hydration by 8%.
