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...

I would love to review but unfortunately I never received the product even though it states the item was delivered to my home. I did report it but have yet to hear any feedback on what happened. I hope the product is successful for those that were able to review.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product smells great and feels good on your skin. While it didn't help much with pigmentation issues for me it didn't burn and kept my skin feeling hydrated.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product is a amazing for those with dark spots or sun spots on their face. It is nice and smooth when it goes on however you must use a lotion otherwise it gets very sticky when it dries. Packaging was very appealing.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] An amazing effective product! I have used it during only 3 months and dark spots on my face became more light! Packaging is also nice - great dosage system. The serum has silky texture and absorbs quick. You should definitely try it!

I waited to review to really test this product. I love the scent but other than that it's not something I would repurchase. It didn't improve and sun damage or dark spots as it claims and I used it for 60 days. I also couldn't get past the stickiness of the product. It stayed so sticky regardless of the amount of product used-eventually I had to only use in an evening routine. Maybe it works for others. It don't believe reviews claiming they see immediate results or it made their skin perfect. No products do that.
