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.

I have been using this product for about two weeks and it hit me this morning how much brighter my skin looks. And it's definitely softer. I've tried other Vitamin C products, and with the exception of Clinique which is simply to expensive to use all the time, this one is the only one I feel has really made a difference. The down side is I bought it as a Beauty Steal, so it will be a bigger hit to my wallet if I decide to purchase again.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I'm 24 and I've had acne since I was 11. Luckily my acne scars are very minor. Besides this product helping the scars, it has done a great job managing my acne when added to my skincare routine. I've used this product for about 3 weeks. I'm noticing way less break outs, and when I do get an angry red pimple, the redness doesn't last near as long as normal. Even the brown spots that like to stick around for a while don't show up like they used to. My skin is soft and smooth when it used to be bumpy and oily. Definitely recommend!

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%.
