We all know that trees and plants can be rich sources of powerful botanical extracts with cosmetic benefits. Extracts from the bark of the French Maritime Pine for instance,  have been found to have potent anti-inflammatory properties proven useful in treating painful ailments such as arthritis, and it is playing a role in the battle against aging skin.

This extract, called pycnogenol, is a key component to  in in Perricone MD’s Pigment Correction products and RX3 Repair Kit that help treat skin’s loss of elasticity and pigment discoloration.

I’m getting older and I tried some new products but they just made my skin get very dry, patchy and flaky. NOT an attractive look. I mean I already have to deal with the stubborn gray hair that doesn’t want to hold dye and NOW I have to have flaky skin? So unfair.

After turning 30, I’ve noticed everything changing. I’ve seen gray hairs, wrinkles, and a decreasing metabolism. I need lots of help.

I tried a sample of this and it was amazing. I really don’t like L’oreal’s Deep Wrinkle treatment.

Am nurse by profession,and thru exercise and diet changes have gone from size 12 to size 8, but my face and neck need “sag repair”. I need this product for some natural non surgical lift.

I’m 35 and just had my 3rd child, gained 70 pounds all three times! I believe my current skin care products are “too young” for me and I need something more mature:)

Happy Holidays! I have never been fortunate enough to try a product of Dr. Perricone’s. I am 53 and have been noticing that age, gravity and the environment are beginning to change the look and appearance of my skin. I have used Oil of Olay and Mary Kay product thus far. They work at first, but then the firming of the skin starts to disappear! I like that that this product is paraben free and prevents future damage. Please enter my name in your fabulous drawing. My skin and I thank you very much…..

The past few years the appearance of my skin just seems less youthful but I also just turn the big 40 and I’ve been afraid of some of the various products on the market for maturing skin.

I could list everything I’ve tried that didn’t work, but we’d be here all week. Most of what I’ve read about this product confirms its claims so I would kill to try out a sample of it. Thanks for the giveaway and I hope I win!
