French maritime pine bark extract (Pinus pinaster Aiton ssp. atlantica), standardized to 70 ± 5% procyanidins, has demonstrated significant anti-cellulite benefits in a clinical trial. In a 3-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 60 women with moderate cellulite, daily supplementation with 150 mg of the extract led to a 13.6% reduction in cellulite score, decreased thigh circumference, and visibly improved skin smoothness and texture—without any adverse effects. These results highlight the extract’s vascular-protective, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant actions, supporting its role as a safe, non-invasive nutritional strategy for managing cellulite.
