- 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.

- 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.

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 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.

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 dotting them on. I use it in the morning before applying moisturizer & SPF and it's definitely improved my skin tone - much clearer, brighter and my skin feels smoother too. I love how I can use this on my lips - BIG difference as lips have a pinkish tinge to them now, also can use around the eye area which I was worried it would be too strong for, but thankfully no irritation or eye sensitivity. Also no piling when used under makeup, and not oily whatsoever. Packaging is great too, simple dropper so I get the right amount of product and a non-oxidizing amber glass bottle. Yes it's a bit pricey, but totally worth it - not because it's a great Vit C serum (there are many other good ones out there too) but because I don't have to use a separate eye serum or lip product, I can use this for more or less all face areas and neck/decolletage too. -> My 'Ulta Beauty Top 7 must-have list' (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Ulta) < - < 1.

Not for dark skin
Don't buy if your African American with dark skin tone. It also has alcohol which dries out our skin.

I finally had my acne under control and went to Ulta for some thing, a lady convinced me to buy this stuff… Immediately went from having zero pimples on my whole face for several weeks to at least 15! I was partially thinking it might be purging… But my skin was perfectly fine before hand so I'm not even going to wait for it to go away.
