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...

This was a great vitamin C serum, but there is that typical hot dog water smell, which most vitamin c serums smell like. I have several Dr. Perricone products and this is just as good. No irritations. You MUST wear sunscreen.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester has some good ingredients with vitamin C, alpha arbutin and resorcinol to decrease dark spots and increase radiance. It has a nice light serum texture and pleasant citrus scent. I tolerated it well. However, there are other vitamin C serums out there for a lower price.

C ya dull skin!

From Washington state

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love me a vitamin c serum, especially from a reputable brand! This product has been essential in my routine since I received it. At first the smell threw me off, but got over that quickly, as quickly as I started seeing results! Brighter skin! Used it every night at first then went a few days without to prevent drying. Easy to apply and incorporate into the skin. No residue after and this package is great! Dark glass to preserve what's inside. Totally recommend!!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This product has worked very well for me. I did not experience any sensitivity or dryness with consistent use. I like the creaminess feel of the product and it is not oily. It has a citrus base scent with earthy undertones. I would recommend this product.

Very Good Vitamin C Serum

Submitted 3 days ago

By Adrienne

From Hendersonville NC

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Perricone Vitamin C Ester 20% Corrective Dark Spot Serum is very good, overall. It is lightweight and has a pleasant subtle smell. It isn't greasy or irritating to my skin and it doesn't take much at all during application and absorbs quickly. The only thing I didn't like is that it initially makes my skin feel tacky to the touch. However, my skin looked brighter after only a few applications. I can definitely see a difference in my before and after photos, with visible fading of sun spots. I definitely will continue using this product and will recommend to others.
