Sticky and white!

Even though this cream appears in a pink tone, when you put it on your face, you will have a white cast left on your face. This should be removed from your product line! No wonder it's bogo!

Perricone products are amazing.
Good winter moisturizer
Reviewed at

I initially didn't like this lotion bc the sample felt pretty tacky on. However the regular size product feels soft and refreshing. Use this in winter since the spf is lower and my skin needs recovery from summer spots.
Love it

I have gone through several jars of this SPF, and have used it differently for years. Now I layer it over my vitamin C serum in the morning, and thenI'm ready for the day. Yes, they did change the formula and it might not be quite as thick, but it's definitely not runny and still plenty thick. It gives kind of a nice glowy blur to the skin. I buy it by the twos when I can.
