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

LOVE this stuff

I got the original version of this and LOVED it. I'm almost out, so I started looking to buy it again. I see they've updated what the container looks like and changed the name a little, so not sure if the formula is different, but they say it's the upgraded version. The original one I have, definite...

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.

Stealth Holy Grail

From Los Angeles

I feel like this product doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's such a solid product. I've been using it for years. Wears beautifully under makeup. Leaves your face looking better and more even after just the application. I used it with Skinceuticals Vitamin C and feel the two together just work to enhance my skin and the effects have not worn out over time.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

My holy grail moisturizer

By Socalsue

From California

I cant stop replensihing this product, even though I want to since its so dang expensive. I have dry, mature skin and live in a climate with lots of sun and about 30% himidity. This is the perfect moisturizer for my needs. Goes on light, adds a tiny bit of radiance, decent amount of SPF and doesnt pill under makeup. When I run out and have tried something else, i find my skin tends to look more dull over time, and I always fo back to this.

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 was sold this by a free facial at Ulta. He recommended this for a sunscreen. It preforms well under makeup. I don't need a primer while using this. The price point hurts me. I'm going to finish the jar and see of it's worth it to buy again. I'm a bit confused by the reviews. The texture is whipped, not oilly at all. I

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. I'm definitely not going to use this again or recommend to anyone else.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend to a friend
