Converting Base64 String to PictureBox

Question

Im able to convert an image into Base64. But now im trying to convert it back and store it in a PictureBox

var pic = Convert.FromBase64String(product.Picture);

using (System.Drawing.Image image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(new System.IO.MemoryStream(pic)))
{ 
      //NOT SURE WHAT TO DO HERE
      pictureBox1.Image =????;
}

Edit 1; Firstly Thanks to everyone, i have tried all the solutions below and they all work. But i have multiple images, What if there is no image in Poduct.Picture?

Try to use something like:

using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream(pic))
{
     pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(ms);
}

 // Convert base 64 string to byte[]
byte[] imageBytes = Convert.FromBase64String(base64String);
// Convert byte[] to Image
using (var ms = new MemoryStream(imageBytes, 0, imageBytes.Length))
{
    pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(ms, true);
}
