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 moisturizer with SPF was used daily as my am skin care regimen. I absolutely loved the protection not only from the SPF, but the Vitamin C ester deliver...

No longer a whipped moisturizer

Submitted 3 years ago

By BigEars

From Phoenix, AZ

I have used this product for years and the most recent jar I purchased was a different formula. The texture is no longer whipped and fluffy, it is now a runny cream. It still goes on as a fairly light moisturizer, but I preferred the previous whipped texture. This used to be worth the price, but the new formula is not. Not sure why they do not mention reformulations on their packaging, seems misleading to not do that.

Terrible new formula

Submitted 3 years ago

By Catherine

From Midland Texas

Perricone MD was recently acquired by another company who immediately changed the formula of this moisturizer. This has been a staple in my routine for years but the new formula is greasy and doesnt provide as much sun protection in my experience. Do not buy until the company brings back the old formula, which ive been told by their customer sevice people should eventually happen. Im so upset about this lol. I found a new moisturizing spf from Haruharu, their mineral sunscreen has taken the place of this and it only costs 11 dollars. So I thankfully no longer need this stuff. Perricone MD plays stupid games, wins stupid prizes.

The new shipping method is wicked fast! Very happy!

Disappointed with latest formula change

Once again, a great product has been updated and not for the better. I used to enjoy the whipped, airy texture and the results. Now it's more like a lotion and doesn't leave my skin feeling the same as before. I've learned we can voice our opinion but it never seems to matter. Changes get made regardless of customers' opinions and we either continue to buy the product or not. Doesn't seem to matter to the company. I'm not sure if I'll continue using the product or switch to something else when I run out.
