It has been some time since The Ordinary launched a new serum, so this is pretty exciting! Online now is the brand new The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% serum which is a super potent antioxidant formula extracted from pine bark and it can revive oxidised vitamin C to make it active again. Interesting!! Here are the details.
We all need a good quality antioxidant in our routines to protect skin from environmental aggressors and premature skin ageing; and we can always trust The Ordinary to deliver effective formulas at extremely affordable price points.

This is such an exciting product, particularly as it has the ability to revive dead Vitamin C and make it effective again. I am not sure I have really read anything about that before, and considering that oxidization is the biggest negative when it comes to Vitamin C products, I homed straight in on that! I need to find out more about this area! It is SO interesting!
The Ordinary Pycnogenol 5% is available HERE now for £8.60 for 15ml.
I love this brand’s anti-oxidant serums and if you’re not sure how to fit them into your routine I’d suggest mixing a drop or two into your serums or moisturisers to boost their antioxdant protection power. It will turn an average cream into a product that will help defend your skin from the environment.
