EngagementModerate engagement

Participants often reference scientific details like gene expression and connections to skin aging, demonstrating a meaningful level of engagement.

ImpactModerate impact

The discussions suggest that the publication influences perceptions about skin health, but are not overwhelmingly urgent or transformative.

Abstract in brief

  • The study found that taking Pycnogenol, a pine bark extract, for 12 weeks improved skin hydration and elasticity in postmenopausal women, especially those with dry skin.
  • These skin improvements were linked to increased gene expression of hyaluronic acid synthase (which produces hyaluronic acid) and collagen, suggesting that Pycnogenol boosts the skin’s extracellular matrix.
  • The findings provide molecular and physiological evidence that Pycnogenol can help combat signs of skin aging by enhancing skin’s hydration, elasticity, and collagen production.]
