Q
I would like to know the percentage of vitamin C in this product. I am leaning toward another product from my medspa that is transparent regarding the level of vitamin C (THD). Please advise.
Asked by TB
Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand Engage
Due to our proprietary formulations, we don't disclose percentages. Depending on your skincare goals, we recommend our Vitamin C Ester Brightening Complex 20% for stubborn discoloration and firming.

An effective brightening serum...

Results with this have been noticeable & fast! It's a lightweight serum, medium consistency and not runny. I can dot this onto my cheeks, chin and forehead and take my time in blending in to cover my face/neck, which is great as most serums tend to drip down and off my face before I've finished even...

Didn't do anything

I bought this line (brightening) along with the Cold Plasma when there was a sale going on. I was not impressed with either. While this one does not break me out like the other, I'm not seeing any benefits and it's been a few months now. I will say a little bit goes a long way. The part that is anno...

I've been truing this for only one and a half weeks once a day. LOOK. I feel like nothing has decreased my acne scars until now. I looked at the other review pictures and decided to get it. Now I get to post my own😝 can't wait to update!

I started using this stuff 6 months before my wedding to address my dark spots and dull lookin' skin. Within two months my skin was night and day! Even though it is on the pricier end, worth every penny!

I do like this product, but their is one downside.

Submitted 2 years ago

By Harper

From Nc

I purchased this product in the 2oz, I would say this serum is great, especially for the high content of vitamin C. But, when I apply this serum to my skin, it tends to not absorb very well and flake off my skin. I would say this product could improve, especially for the price. Maybe it's my skin and the way I apply it, but for me, it's just one downside, but overall it's a great product.

Milky Serum

From Albuquerque, NM

This Vitamin-C serum is milky and absorbs well. I have very oily skin and this product melts into my skin and does not feel greasy. It does have an orange smell that goes away quickly. It's expensive but worth it!
