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...

Lightening up my problematic dark spots

Submitted 27 days ago

By Chris

From Philly

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] After a few weeks of use I am actually noticing a good amount of difference in how light my few dark spots have become. The bottle is easy to use and easy to apply. Makes my skin a bit tight just as it's drying but it's nothing uncomfortable. Fairly pleased

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I like the fragrance of this alot. It went on nicely but felt strange on my face when it dried. Experienced some itching and redness. Opted to discontinue usage after that.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product might be my favorite vitamin C serum ever. Based on its smell alone would make me say this but it is so much more- it doesn't take a whole lot of product to use, its absorption is great and it doesn't make my skin feel dry or oily. I have sensitive skin and it doesn't bother me at all. AND IT WORKS. my dark spots are noticeably lighter!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Love this Effective slightly citrus scented vitamin c serum

Submitted 1 month ago

By Laurann

From Georgia

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Using this product is very satisfying. The product goes on smoothly and there is a nice, slightly citrusy, pleasant scent and the pump on the bottle works well and it comes out nicely. I followed with my usual spf moisturizer and didn't have any irritation. My skin felt refreshed and I don't know how to explain it but it felt like the vitamin c was helping my skin look better and brighter. It almost tingles slightly but in a good way and it isn't painful. I would definitely repurchase but look for a sale because I like a deal. I am loving this brand and product. My skin absorbed it and I couldn't tell I had any different products on and it didn't make my makeup look different or pill up.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Works well!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This vitamin C serum works really well! I'm not a fan of the smell, it's citrus with a chemical smell but nothing overbearing. It hasn't made my sensitive skin break out or leave me with any irritation, my face appears brighter and dark marks are fading. Overall, I like this and will continue using. This review has been incentivized.
