Pine Bark Extract is a super antioxidant made from the bark of a French pine tree. Research carried out at the University of California last year found that Pine Bark Extract can slow down photo ageing (sun damage) to skin by up to 50%. The research confirmed that Pine Bark Extract maintains the skin's healthy structure for longer by binding with collagen and elastin to prevent them from being broken down, while destroying the free radicals that try to attack the skin's structure.
A more recent discovery at the University of South Florida has shown that Pine Bark Extract dramatically increases the skin's blood circulation by strengthening the skin's capillaries and so helping to prevent the formation of thread and varicose veins. It can also help reduce the most prominent signs of ageing skin.
