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 purchased when on sale. I enjoy the feel of my skin when I apply this serum. I use in the morning after freshly washed skin. The serum sinks in quickly.

This product will not change your skin overnight. It takes consistent use but the results are absolutely worth it. I use it (mostly) in the morning and night. In the winter I won't use toner and I'll go straight to this. Both myself and my partner have benefited from this amazing serum. It is kind of pricey which has made me think of reconsidering this product. Other products I use: vitamin c face wash, and spf moisturizer by perricone I have sensitive skin^ and tend to break out along my jawline. This product actually helped clear any lingering blackheads!

I stocked up big time on this product

Finally something that gave me some visible results on stubborn spots. Overall brighten my face, like washing off grime. Half way through my first bottle, I could see my dark spots and blotchiness were lighter and my complexion looked "cleaner" and was smoother. I have used very expensive products and they never worked. This is silky-matte in texture, smells divine, and doesn't irritate or dry my skin. When it went on sale, I bought 4 more bottles to stock up. I use right after cleansing, 4-5 drops at night and 3-4 drops in the morning mixed with my hydrating face mist. I feel beautiful and don't have to put on the concealer soon as I wake up in order to hide my hyperpigmentation. Love it.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

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 now. So, I knew where to go to get my skin back on track, Perricone! The C line works wonders for my skin, I simply glow. You would never know I had cancer, my skin is beautiful. I'll never use anything else. Dr. Perricones products made my skin happy again. Also, I enjoy all the free gifts, I share them with my friends.

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

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%.
