Q
I would like to know the percentage of vitamin C in this product. I am leaning toward another product from my medspa that is transparent regarding the level of vitamin C (THD). Please advise.
Asked by TB
Official Answer By Perricone MD - Brand Engage
Due to our proprietary formulations, we don't disclose percentages. Depending on your skincare goals, we recommend our Vitamin C Ester Brightening Complex 20% for stubborn discoloration and firming. For redness and radiance with no discoloration we recommend the Vitamin C Ester Brightening Serum.Was this answer helpful to you

It appears that you divulge that another of your VItamin C products are 15% and are not transparent about this one. Makes me question why. Must not be 15%.

My new Perricone favorite!

The new vitamin c ester serum for the face is for daytime use and compliments the vitamin c ester 15 for nightime use. I find that using this product has brightened the dark circles under my eyes and evened out my skin tone. It is my new Perricone favorite!

I didn't like this product at all and Perricone has the absolute worst customer service I have encountered since the advent of the internet. Read the return policy, they don't stand behind their products at all. You can't return an opened product for any reason. Don't like it? Too bad. This serum is...

I started using this stuff 6 months before my wedding to address my dark spots and dull lookin' skin. Within two months my skin was night and day! Even though it is on the pricier end, worth every penny!

My mother ordered this for me and I love it! Felt an immediate difference the following morning after applying at night. After a couple of weeks my pores looked visibly smoother but overall, my face just looked supple and hydrated. I have sensitive skin and zero reactions. Also, you don't need to use a whole dropper full to get a full application. So worth the cost! Will be ordering soon!! FYI, it has a holistic scent, so if you are looking for a product that smells like florals or perfumy, don't purchase this. It does not stink at all. I have other products my kids say yuck about but they strangely like this one. I like it too. 

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

When I'm getting near the end of the bottle, I get nervous! This is a very lightweight serum, does help in evening my skin tone, and is hydrating. A little goes a long way. I definitely recommend this serum if you're looking to even your skin tone. 

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Smaller pores

This is probably the first product I've seen noticeably smaller pores with so quickly, though, that's not what I bought it for. I am using this to hopefully fade acne scars, prevent wrinkles, and brighten my overall skin tone. So all that is still pending, but I've only used it a couple of days and pores are definitely smaller.
