I would buy it again
This is one of my favorite creams that I have bought so far. I use it every day and it has not caused me any allergies or skin sensitivity like other creams with SPF and when I use it I don't need makeup. I recommend it 100%.

I like a lightweight, SPF moisturizer for daytime that won't interrupt my makeup. This one checks all the boxes! The brightening effects from this are unmatched!
I like it!
I was sold this by a free facial at Ulta. He recommended this for a sunscreen. It preforms well under makeup. I don't need a primer while using this. The price point hurts me. I'm going to finish the jar and see of it's worth it to buy again. I'm a bit confused by the reviews. The texture is whipped, not oilly at all. I

Allergic reaction

I was excited to try this as I love Perricone's makeup line. I was also intrigued since it has SPF and vitamin C. Once I got the moisturizer, I put on a small amount yesterday morning. This morning, 24 hours after application, I woke up with an allergic reaction. My face was red and swollen and extremely puffy under my eyes. This has never happened to me with any other product, and I've never had an allergic reaction in my life. I went to urgent care because of this. I'm taking Benadryl, the swelling should go down in the next few days. I'm definitely not going to use this again or recommend to anyone else.
