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.

Caused 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 but I'm definitely not going to use this or recommend to anyone else!

Have tried every SPF moisturizer from the cheapest to the most expensive, and I always come back to this one. Worth every penny of the price.
Poor shelf life and/or quality control
Age 18-29
Skin Type Combination
After about a month and a half it no longer applied clear, leaving a natural brightening shine. Instead, it applied like a cakey tinted moisturizer 1-2 shades too light. The lid also started breaking away in big chunks!
Definitely do not recommend.

This product feels so heavy on my skin. It is the most oily sunscreen I've ever used. Incredibly disappointed. Can't believe I spent so much money on a product of such poor quality. I used it once and will probably throw it away.

I use this daily in the morning after vitamin c ester! My skin loves this product, light and foundation goes on so evenly afterwards! This moisturizer leaves my skin refreshed and with a light glow!!
