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.

This has been a HUGE game changer for me. I have only been using this product for a month and see incredible changes. I have very uneven skin tone on my face as well as hyper pigmentation. Not only is my skin tone almost completely even, my hyper pigmentation is almost un noticeable. Not to mention the glow this has given my skin! I no longer wear foundation because of this product.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

This serum is a bit sticky,.. and not for me. I really didn't notice a difference in my skin. I will stick with Mario Badescu for a fraction of the cost.

Didn't do anything

By Lindz

From Redlands, CA

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 annoying is I don't want to waste this, so while I would like to move onto another brand to help my skincare issues (35 years old, face looks dull and fine lines - so brightening and anti-aging), I cannot justify not using this since it's not technically hurting my face. I would like it to run out already so I can try another brand. lol I pretty much wasted a lot of money on Perricone MD products. Not impressed at all, and side note, I am a product junkie, so I have ample experience judging results from products from drug store brands to the prestige brands to pricy department store brands.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Red and Itchy Face

Submitted 6 years ago

By Elena the Vegan

From United States

Describe Yourself Normal to oily skin, Usually not acne prone

I keep a very thorough skincare regimen and only introduce new products in one at a time to ensure I know what the culprit is if something goes wrong. I started using this serum instead of my usual collagen serum and let me tell you - huge mistake! After only two days I got red splotchy spots all over my face and it itches like crazy! I even used sunscreen after applying it like recommended and clearly that didn't help. Couldn't even sleep because my face was so itchy. Never using this product again.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend

Q
Is this safe to use on your lips?
Asked by Cwhite35
Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand Engage
It’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
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. For redness and radiance with no discoloration we recommend the Vitamin C Ester Brightening Serum.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Is this serum non-comedogenic?
Asked by M
Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand Engage
The formula has not been tested to be non-comedogenic, so we cannot make that claim. However, the ingredients are generally non-comedogenic.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
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%.
Asked by Jodi
Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand Engage
