It's back!

OMG! The original formula is back! I am so happy! I've been using this since, at least, 1998, and have been hiding my face since the todo with that reformulation. I feel like I can show my face again! Nothing made me happier. I could go without makeup and get compliments on how beautiful and unwrink...

I have been using this since 2019, and have always loved the creamy consistency of the product, which reassured I was using a quality product.

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%.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I really liked this product. I've been using it for 6 months now. pigment spots on the face became lighter. the only thing I don't like is the shine on my skin because I rarely wear makeup. but when I visited my cosmetologist, she noted the healthy and radiant appearance of my skin. In general, I'm satisfied and will buy more. Thanks perricon for the discounts.

This C Ester cream is gentle on my skin and delivers results. I love the orange scent too, it's a feel good for the senses and works magic on my skin. No oxidation, that's the best part, stable on day one and just as effective on day 30!

I'm not sure how many jars of this product I have used, but I will never use anything else on my face and neck to prepare me to face the day! I credit this moisturizer for keeping any visible signs of sun damage at bay, and for lightening the spots that had started to appear on my face. It is a perfect base for my foundation, as well, and imparts a subtle glow to the skin. I have mild rosacea, and I am happy to say- at least, in my particular case- this product has not caused any issues at all. I will even throw some on the back of my hands, if I'm in a hurry, and don't want to grab a separate sunscreen for that!

Really nice product. It's a rich, creamy moisturizer with excellent ingredients and provides superior protection. It applies very nicely and isn't sticky and leaves the skin with a beautiful even tone.

Does your Vitamin C Ester skincare line oxidize? Almost every other "Vitamin C" skincare line warns that the benefits can diminish over a period of time due to oxidization.

Excellent question; actually Dr. Perricone holds the patent on Vitamin C Ester which is a stable and highly absorb able form of Vitamin C. You can learn all about the science in his books and lectures on YouTube.Was this answer helpful to you
