Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester CCC+ Ferulic Brightening Complex 20%, 2 fl. oz.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been very impressed with the performance of this serum! It's especially great if you are looking for a potent vitamin C treatment to address dark spots and uneven skin tone. It has a silky feel and absorbs quickly into the skin, laying well with other products in my routine. This formula contains 20% vitamin C, making it a concentrated brightening treatment that helps improve the look of discoloration, dark spots and uneven tone. For me, it's especially appealing as I suffer from melasma due to sun exposure which can make my skin look dull and less radiant. Within two weeks, I noticed improvements in my skin tone and texture and those dark areas were less noticeable. I also appreciate the thoughtful packaging. It comes housed in a dark glass bottle which helps to preserve the potency of the formula. It also has a pump, which allows you to control the perfect amount of product. It has a slightly creamy texture and consistency which I appreciate versus a more watery formula. With consistent use, this is the type of serum I reach for when I want to brighten my overall complexion. Due to the high potency you may want to start slow, about 2x per week if you are new to actives or Vitamin C treatment. This is an investment product with guaranteed results.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perricone MD is one of my favorite brands of skincare products, a brand I also like to gift. I like that the product comes sealed, with a pump sprayer that you insert yourself. When opening this bottle, it pops as compressed air is released which tells me all that good stuff was protected to be as fresh and beneficial as possible. The scent reminds me of lemongrass, fresh and citrusy yet grassy and earthy. I have been using this at least once daily for about 2 weeks now. My skin definitely feels smoother and brighter. I have a good amount of skin discoloration from freckles, age and sun damage so I expect it to take several weeks of use to really notice some lightening. With the high concentration of vitamin c in this product, at 20%, I fully expect to see additional results with longer use.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this cream for about three weeks now and I can notice a difference with my skin. Thank you @Influenster and @PerriconeMD for the opportunity to try this product in exchange for my honest opinion. This cream blends in easily with my skin and it smells wonderful too. I really like the citrus scent. After working this cream onto my face and allowing it to absorb I can then use my sunscreen and apply my makeup as usual. I noticed that it did not leave my skin feeling oily or clogged, instead it was soft and deeply nourished. Where I really saw a difference was the overall color and evenness of my skin. I noticed my complexion was a little more even and my dark spots were not as dark. This cream works great for me giving a more even tone, deep hydration and soft skin

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serum is awesome! It has vitamin c, vitamin e and ferulic acid. My before and after pictures aren't dramatic, but I can see a bigger difference in person. After only using this product for a couple of weeks, I am already seeing my dark spots fading. My skin looks and feels super smooth and clear. The serum smells great and absorbs nicely into my skin. I love having this serum in dark glass bottle to preserve the potency of the product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This serum gives my skin such a beautiful, fresh glow without making my complexion feel heavy or coated! My skin looks brighter, more even, and just generally more youthful and healthy when I use it consistently. The texture feels silky and luxurious, but it absorbs nicely and layers well with the rest of my skincare. I especially love how smooth and radiant my skin looks afterward—it gives me that “well-rested” glow even on days when I definitely don't feel well-rested! I also appreciate that the formula feels like a treatment while still being easy to work into my everyday routine.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using this for 3 weeks. It took about a week to see results. They are subtle but I can see the difference. My skin feels softer and brighter and doesn't have that “tired look” to it. I will say it does seem like I have a more even skin tone. It smells good too. To me it smells like a mix of orange with a hint of peppermint. It has multiple forms of Vitamin C, plus Vitamin E and ferulic acid. I use mine in the morning and evening but I won't use it on days I will be in the sun a lot since it can make skin sensitive to sunburn. It is creamy and easy to blend in and does not feel greasy. Overall I actually do like what this has done for my skin and happy enough with the results I will make this a permanent part of my daily skin routine. Thank you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Okay talk about some amazing technology! I loved the way that this absorbed into the skin. It didn't feel sticky. I have been seeing some visible changes as I continue to use it. This is great

I'm no my second bottle of Ester CCC and I can tell a difference. My dark spots have gotten lighter and overall my skin is more translucent. I also use it on the tops of my hands and am seeing the same results.

I have purchased a competitor's C plus ferrulic acid product in the past. Perricone's serum, however, has a much more pleasing and fresh scent. It goes on smoothly and brightens my skin. It delivers increased clarity, as promised. I will definitely purchase this product again.

I've been using this product for a few months now and really like the brightening effect on my skin. I was using the C ferulic from skin ceuticals, but wanted to give this one a try. However, I have issues with the way sunscreens (both mineral and chemical, as well as with or without moisturizer) clumps or peels off when I put over product. I wait before applying moisturizer and sunscreen and still the flakes start forming soon after. Even the Perricone sunscreen/moisturizer combo flakes. I don't know what else to do.
