I would buy this product again and again

I received this product in exchange for my honest review. I've been using the Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester 20% Corrective Dark Spot Serum for a few months, and here's what I've discovered about it: **Scent:** The serum has a subtle, citrusy scent that feels refreshing rather than overpowering. It's ...

No real difference

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I found the serum to be very easy to use. The pump dispenses a small amount cleanly onto my fingertip, and I initially dabbed it directly onto my dark spots. Because my discolouration is spread across several areas of my face, I eventually f...

Nice serum but results were limited

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The serum has a lightweight texture, absorbs quickly and felt gentle on my skin. I used it consistently and appreciated the quality packaging and the ease of the application. Unfortunately, I didn't notice much improvement in my dark spots or overall skin tone. While it kept my skin feeling smooth and hydrated, the corrective results were minimal for me. It may work better for others, but I expected more noticeable changes.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Vitamin c ester 20% corrective dark spot serum works fairly well. There's no stinging and it absorbs quickly the scent is not great but it's bearable and dissipates quickly. I had no issues with breaking out. Not sure that I noticed a huge difference in my skin but it's worth a try!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

By Kyla

From North Carolina

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I don't like the smell or texture of this product. The smell reminds me of a car cleaning product. The texture, it is sticky and pills on my skin. I have used it for a few months, first picture was taken in Aug, 2nd in October. Some but not much improvement on my dark spots.

Dark spot corrective serum. Amazing brand. I've used so many of their products and loved them. The serum has a slight citrus scent to it . After testing it for a while there wasn't much or any difference. I did love how it was hydrating to my skin. Hydrating.

I received the product in exchange for a honest review. Tried the dark spot Serum however I still have dark areas. I used for over a month and was not impressed with the results. Product was however easy on my skin, did not stain or smell.
