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...

Rapid skin healing

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've received this complimentary product in exchange for my honest feedback. This did a great job keeping my skin hydrated. I used it as a spot serum as intended. I noticed that it did well on fresh breakouts that caused scarring. Within a few days, I noticed the skin rapidly healing. As for the scent, it has a citrusy yet woodsy/smokey scent. I personally was not a fan of the Smokey scent. I have slightly sensitive skin so I'm always skeptical on using new facial products however I had no adverse reactions to this serum.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love the bottle and the pump. Bottle is glass and not a flimsy pump. A+ for packaging. I did notice improvement in my dark spots but nothing drastic.. It did take a few weeks to start seeing results. I did love how this felt on my face. It was moisturizing and the scent is a light orange.

The Perricone MD Vitamin C serum is an antioxidant serum that helps with people's skin that is hyperpigmentated or that has dark spots. Also uneven skin tone or a rough like feel to the face.I have some dark spots on my face along with pretty uneven skin tone. I can say that I really do think there is a noticeable difference in my cheeks and forehead.

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I loved the smell and feel of this product! Went on smooth, soft, easy to rub in, and felt great. Unfortunately after a few days I developed contact dermatitis and this was the only new product I was using. Disappointed that I had to stop using.

Nice serum but results were limited

From Nashville, TN

[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
