The Ordinary has firmly cemented itself as a leader in science-backed skin care. Taking the guesswork out of building a regime, it ditches unnecessary, filler ingredients for familiar, hard-working actives that deliver promising results. Enter: the Pycnogenol 5% (15ml), an antioxidant-rich serum that helps brighten and protect skin.
Looking to enhance your skin's hydration and radiance? Cue The Ordinary's Pycnogenol 5% (15ml).
This oil-like serum is packed with pycnogenol at a 5% concentrate, a powerful antioxidant derived from the bark of French maritime pine trees that helps to brighten while maintaining the skin's moisture levels and elasticity. It also protects your skin against damage from free radicals (AKA UV rays, dust and smoke). Plus, a quick FYI due to its potent nature, this oil has a deep red colour, which does remain on your skin but can be washed off. Get treating...
Propanediol, Pinus Pinaster Bark Extract.

Brilliant product!
I've used a lot of products from The Ordinary, and this is easily one of my favourites. It evens out my skin tone, plumps up my face, tightens my fine lines, reduces texture and seems to temporarily reduce the size of my pores, as well. I use it every third night, and the next morning my skin generally looks beautiful. Like other reviewers, I've found that the best way to apply pycnogenol is to mix it with my moisturiser. I put some creamy moisturiser (It Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream) in my hand, add two drops of pycnogenol to it, mix the two together and then apply the mix to my face as the final step in my routine. I often apply a few drops of The Ordinary's Amino Acids + B5 or a retinoid beforehand. Those combinations seem to work very well for me. I highly recommend using the product this way.

Mildly irritating
Sticky and warm on the skin. After 10 mins or so, I break out in a rash, which lasts for about an hour. It does leave my skin dewy and pores looking smaller though while it's still on my skin - so recommended for that. Do a spot test before slathering loads on before you head out!

LOVE THIS
I gave this a try as it was recommended to me. I use it after hyaluronic acid and before my moisturiser. I absolutely LOVE the feel of it on my skin! It adds plenty moisture and gives my skin a plumped and smooth healthy look and feel! I will definitely re-buy and continue to use!

This stuff works
This has made my skin so soft smooth and looking healthy in such a short space of time, I’ve replaced the Buffett with this as it does a better job - I’d never have thought that possible given it’s just one ingredient the Buffett has peptides etc , but for me this is just better as it really makes my skin look so good . Shame it’s a small bottle but you do only need 2 drops.

The Ordinary
Bought this along with other TO products recently for my sister and she's reported back that she loves this and its probably her favourite. Lots of skin benefits and feels great.

Really nice
Really nice product. The serum does not stain my skin. For me, one drop is enough for my whole face. I have dry skin, and when my skin gets dry on chin and around my nose it really helps to hydrate. It also helps heal scabs from blemishes faster

Fantastic
I am 48 y/o. I have dry skin. Not dehydrated - my skin is dry! If I ever get a pimple I am in chock. I didn't even have break-outs during puberty. Since early my early 40s I have a pretty stellar routine with the "usual suspects"; Spf, Vitamin C, Peptides, medication etc, etc... This product turned out to be incredible for me! I have used it for about 3 months, morning and evening, 3-4 drops after "water-based serums" and before creams. My skin does not feel dry anymore, my skin looks radiant and plump, and I swear my forehead wrinkles are almost gone (even my pesky "elevens" seems to be fading). I do not even like The Ordinary. I have never found a product from them that has made a difference. But this is amazing! I will not be without this!

Not for me
Sticky and hot, doesn't stain at all (except if you're ultra clumsy). Mildly irritating to skin. I had breakouts too. Perhaps would work best for others, but I'm not getting this again.

Radiant skin, light oil moisturizer and mixer serum
This is a great product, used alone or mixed in with other serums, it is mild yet very effective, my skin is more radiant when I use it. This will be my staple product in my skin care cabinet.

Great Hydration
I used it alone at first but it irritated my skin, so i mixed it with my moisturizer and it was magic. Love it.
