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.

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 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. Hair Loss Treatment: Divine Herbal Hair Oil < 2. Eye Cream: Clinique All about eyes < 3. Lip Gloss: Clarins Lip Comfort Oil < 4. Makeup Remover: Lancome Bi Facil < 5. Pigmentation + Anti-Aging Serum: Divine Herbal Facial Treatment Serum < 6. Eyeliner: Ulta Beauty Gel Eyeliner Pencil < 7. Moisturizer: 'Lush' – Enzymion
Not for dark skin
Don't buy if your African American with dark skin tone. It also has alcohol which dries out our skin.

Just started using this product and so far so good.
As others have said - DO NOT use if you have acne prone skin
Age 30-44
Skin Type Combination
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.
Good product

I tried many serums from past few years but I ended up with very bad breakouts the very next day of using those serums..BUT after I started using this serum it really started suiting on my skin......and I would highly recommend this product for sensitive skin !!!

- Q
Is this safe to use on your lips?
- Asked by Cwhite35
- Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand EngageIt’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 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.

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%.
