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.

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

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%.

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 super drying and makes my skin matte and dull, even after adding a moisturizing SPF on top. It's just something in the finish. It may work long term, but if your skin looks older and dull when you wear it, then it isn't worst the possible payoff. I'm a skincare junkie and buy innumerable premium products, all from companies who stand behind what they sell. I won't try anything from this company again.

I have been using this serum for the past four years and I couldn't be happier with how my skin has responded. It is plump and smooth with diminishing discoloration. I highly recommend it!
Smoky stink
I received a sample of this and the smell was overwhelming... Smoky like a barbecue pit. Was this a bad batch or does it all reek like this?
