so, fun fact about pycnogenol: it's not a singular molecule, but rather an extract from pine bark (Pinus pinaster) that's obtained through a specific process ensuring the stability of the relative proportions of certain molecules, mainly antioxidants: catechins and epicatechins, ferulic acid, caffeic acid and others.

it has a demonstrable antioxidant action that may help to "recycle" oxidized vitamins C and E molecules, making it extra useful as a cosmetic booster; it also has some anti-inflammatory potential and has been shown to inhibit enzymes involved in hyperpigmentation and in the breakdown of hyaluronic acid and collagen within the skin.

although in vitro studies should not be taken as a guarantee of what actually happens when something is applied on our skin, pycnogenol does have some sound basis to its use in cosmetics. clinical studies support its effect to boost skin hydration, firmness and elasticity, as well as its use in treating hyperpigmentation disorders such as melasma.
