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.

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?

my new holy grail

I've tried so many vitamin c serums and none of them have done a single thing for my skin. I was about to give up when someone recommended this one, and I thought why not. I am SO glad I took a chance because I'll never be without it now! it smells great, instantly absorbs, not sticky at all, layers well, and even out my skin so well, leaving me glowing! even my husband noticed how "radiantly skin is! great product and fair price point for the results you get.

I have been using this for the last couple of months and it has changed my skin yes it's a bit pricey but you only add a few drops in the morning and night. I have bad acne and this improved my face a lot

Burned my face

I have sensitive skin to begin with but I tried this product one time and immediately after applying a little to my face I felt it burning. Woke up the next morning to a red blotchy face. It got a little worse the next day. Retuned it right away.

Q
Is this safe to use on your lips?
Asked by Cwhite35
Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand Engage
It’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 Engage
Due 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. For redness and radiance with no discoloration we recommend the Vitamin C Ester Brightening Serum.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
Is this serum non-comedogenic?
Asked by M
Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand Engage
The formula has not been tested to be non-comedogenic, so we cannot make that claim. However, the ingredients are generally non-comedogenic.Was this answer helpful to you
Q
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%.
