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.

My new Perricone favorite!
The new vitamin c ester serum for the face is for daytime use and compliments the vitamin c ester 15 for nightime use. I find that using this product has brightened the dark circles under my eyes and evened out my skin tone. It is my new Perricone favorite!

I didn't like this product at all and Perricone has the absolute worst customer service I have encountered since the advent of the internet. Read the return policy, they don't stand behind their products at all. You can't return an opened product for any reason. Don't like it? Too bad. This serum is...

Smaller pores

This is probably the first product I've seen noticeably smaller pores with so quickly, though, that's not what I bought it for. I am using this to hopefully fade acne scars, prevent wrinkles, and brighten my overall skin tone. So all that is still pending, but I've only used it a couple of days and pores are definitely smaller.
Great products. Beautiful absorption

Love these 2 products. Both of them have lovely texture and absorb perfectly. It's hard to find good texture and absorption in either vitamin C or Spf cream. I love this duo
I do like this product, but their is one downside.
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
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!
Highly recommend

I normally don't write reviews, but I was so impressed with this serum. I have oily acne prone skin, so I use this after applying Perricone Acne Relief Toner. I found it to be light, not greasy at all. The scent is nice too. After a week my skin is noticeably smoother, and it has lightened older scars and dark spots. I'm excited to see so much progress this quickly.
