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...

Product had separated from sides of jar appearing to not be fresh. Consistency was not smooth but a little grainy. I need a fresh jar. Unable to add the photos.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Another Perricone essential. Ive tried switching to others but there's no dupe for this. I layer it over face finishing moisturizer for my sunscreen because I LOVE the sheer light reflection it leaves and the spf is perfect. It is t heavy or greasy like so many others (my go to for years was oil of Olay but they changed their formula). This was the perfect replacement and I'll never stop using it again.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Color is off

Pros: the moisturizing quality is fantastic, my skin felt hydrated and looked plump, very easy to apply with just fingers and it blended in well. Cons: the color adaptation turned very red brown on me and I'm not sure why. I'm fair with pink undertones and the tan ended up being 3 shades darker than my skin tone with a reddish hue. I'm super bummed because I would otherwise have loved it. I think it would look amazing and work well on darker skin tones. Also this product is slightly more sticky/dewy than expected but still nice.

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
