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 received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using this product for several weeks. I've noticed more brightening of my skin. The serum is a smooth texture. The scent is interesting, a little bit citrus smelling. I've notice more brightening in my neck where I have more hyperpigmentation. Good news, I did not experience any redness or sensitivity.

This dark spot corrector works great. I have red spots and scarring from pimples and skin imperfections. I started using this to see if it would even out my skin tone and it really worked. I use it immediately after breaking out. I love it. It smells great and stays on all day or night.

Non-irritating

From Morrisville, NC

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using this product consistently for the past two months daily, mostly twice daily. It has a pleasant scent, is non-greasy, has a smooth application, and absorbs quickly. I have sensitive skin, and this one did not irritate my skin at all! In terms of the effectiveness of this product, unfortunately, I did not notice any change in my skin texture or the improvement of dark spots on my face, so it did not work well for my specific skin type. My skin actually looks better before using the product than after.
