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...

Excellent
I used to use this on a regular basis and then forgot about it, and now I'm so happy I've got it again! It seriously works, so brightening and my skin is really hydrated too. It is very strongly coloured and temporarily makes you skin look a little tanned but that fades. I like to mix it with my vitamin c serum and follow up with SPF50 for a serious antioxidant boost. Such a bargain, I only use 3 or 4 drops and that's ample. Great product!

Absolutely the best
Only two ingredients work with texture, brightening and hydrating. Scent can be bothersome for few but both overpowering. Leaves a subtle glow

Great price, good product.
This is my second bottle of this. I love that its a cheap price point, making it an affordable daily staple. I mix this with Vit C and Resveratrol & Ferulic Acid to make an anti-oxidant cocktail. Can I say this product works on its own, nope, but I do like that it is in the active % range and it mixes with other products beautifully. I only use one drop daily, so it lasts for a long time.

Good value
Works well with other products in my routine. I tend to use in the morning with vitamin c and ferulic acid followed by my SPF. I was worried about it making my face too oily but it sinks in easily and absorbs quickly and my skin is just left looking quite dewy rather than shiny or greasy. Great value for money, would definitely recommend. I feel like my skin has overall improved since I've started using this.

Break out
Unfortunately this product did cause my skin to break out for some reason, I really wanted it to work but I had to stop using it because it didn’t agree with my skin. It does feel like a nice product and the idea behind it is nice too, so I would still give it 4 stars as I think if I didn’t have blemish prone skin, then this product would have been a good addition.

If you can get past the scent
This product smells quite bad in my opinion! But it seems to be helping my skin. It's clear and glowing. The smell is just horrid though! But once it's sunk into your skin, you can't smell it.

Another great product from The Ordinary
I mix this with my vit c and resveratrol to create an antioxidant cocktail! Nice consistency and has a natural smell (not off putting tho).
