- 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

Depending on your skincare goals, we recommend our Vitamin C Ester Brightening Complex 20% for stubborn discoloration and firming.

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...

I have never reviewed any Perricone products although I have been a Perricone customer for many years and don't remember when I started using other products. I used several vitamin c products never worked what they promised and merely waste of money but Perricone vitamin c is a miracle. Everyone should have this product for routine skincare. I highly recommend this product and every penny is worth spent.

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.
