I'm alive again!
I would like to start out by saying last year cancer and I had a huge fight, needless to say I beat it. But....with 6 and a half months of chemotherapy and 6and a half weeks of radiation it took a lot out of me. Fortunately, I'm a Perricone women and have been off and on for around 20 years, I'm 59 ...

Please bring back your Vitamin C-Ester EYE SERUM!
I ordered the Vitamin C-Ester Brightneing Serum only because you no longer have my favorite which is the Vitamin C-Ester Brightening EYE SERUM. The Eye Serum was amazing and no other product you have works the same. Please bring back the Vitamin C-Ester Brightneing EYE SERUM! Thank you.

I've only been using the serum for a week, but my skin looks better and feels so smooth! The product has a nice light texture unlike some others I've tried, and it absorbs quickly. Nice fragrance, too.
Only Vit C serum to work for me
Describe Yourself 39 with acne prone skin
This is the only Vit C serum that does not break me out. It is non oliy. It diminishes my pores and has a slight brightening affect.
Not for everyone

Felt good at first few application but after using 10 days or so, my face felt like sand paper. The product is so "drying." After stopping using it, It took me another 10 days to get back to normal. This serum maybe good but not for everyone.

No change In my face after using for more than a month. I was very hopeful that it will reduce dark spots on my face but nothing happened

Pricy but I wanted to splurge on this because I really learned a lot from his book. Dr. Pericone Is a wealth of knowledge in his book regarding skin health. This is the first vit C serum that I feel like works. I am using proactive adapeline 0.1 at night and this during the day with cerave moisturizer as needed for dryness. I finally feel like I have good regimen, as my face is clearing up quickly and not as oily. My husband commented after just one week on my glow. I'm 38 with combo skin.

- Q
Is this safe to use on your lips?
- Asked by Cwhite35
- Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand EngageIt’s generally not recommended to use Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Brightening Serum directly on the lips. Vitamin C Ester is gentler than pure L‑ascorbic acid, dermatology guidance still cautions against using vitamin C serums on lips, as they can cause stinging, dryness, or peeling in this area. You can apply the serum around the mouth, stopping just before the vermilion (the pink part of the lips).Was this answer helpful to you

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.

- Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand EngageDue 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.

It appears that you divulge that another of your VItamin C products are 15% and are not transparent about this one. Makes me question why. Must not be 15%.
