Vitamin C Ester: Supercharged Brightening & Smoothing
A more potent, highly stable and less abrasive form of antioxidant powerhouse vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester gives the appearance of collagen-rich skin by smoothing, brightening and minimizing the look of discoloration over time. Unlike traditional vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester is fat-soluble and easily absorbable for maximum antioxidant benefits.
Ferulic Acid: Free Radical Skin Protection
A plant-based, super antioxidant that promotes the look of collagen-rich skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots by supporting the skin in fighting against free radical damage. Ferulic Acid is also known to stabilize vitamins C and E to enhance their properties for maximum skin benefits.
Vitamin E: Super Skin Nourishment
A hydrating, reparative antioxidant found in almonds and avocados visibly minimizes the look of discoloration for more even-looking skin over time. A unique chemical structure enables vitamin E to disperse within skin’s surface for visible, long-term dramatic results.

Noticeable Brightening
I've been using Perricone Brightening Complex for about 3 weeks now and applying it twice a day. There is a slightly unpleasant smell with the product and it takes a bit longer than I anticipated to absorb, but the odor dissipates quickly. I've experienced no unpleasant side effects like stinging or redness so I think this would be safe for anyone with sensitive skin. As for results, I have noticed a brightening in my skin, but haven't yet seen improvements in hyperpigmentation. I'm hoping since I have seen brightening results, dark spots will begin to lighten after a bit longer use.

Luxurious Serum
I spent several weeks with the product before establishing my review. As this was my first time with this product but I've been a long time fan of Perricone MD's line. This serum is silky smooth and feels lightweight on the skin! It's packed with awesome vitamin C, ferulic brightening complex, and many other amazing ingredients. I incorporated this into my regular skincare routine (which include other products from other brands) and there were no bad interactions. I often will use a serum morning and night after cleansing then start with the rest of my skincare on top. After weeks of testing I can say my skin has brightened significantly, almost with a youthful glow and has been very hydrated. Often I have went bare face with no makeup on bc of the results but even with makeup on top it's worked very well. The bottle is frosted luxurious glass, that reminds me of how skincare was dispensed long time ago but old school pharmacies which I love! It's a more expensive product and I don't recommend skincare lightly but I was impressed with this one especially as I'm now 36 years old with a bit of maturity to my combo leaning mostly dry skin!

Great Serum!
So far I think this is a great serum! I love that it has vitamin C and vitamin E in it. It has a milky appearance. It has a very faint smell, I think it's an orange scent, but it's to faint it's hard to say. I usually don't like any scents in my facial products, but if the scent is really faint then I don't mind it. So, this one didn't bother me. I love that it comes in a dark bottle, so I don't have to worry about light hitting it and weakening the vitamin C. I love it has a pump. It even has this little thing that goes onto the pump area, so it will stop it from being pushed down, just in case you need to travel with it or something. Also, when you first get it, theres a cap on it, and the pump is separate. So, if you wanted to, you could save the cap and just take out the pump and apply the cap for traveling. But, that's a lot, and you'd have to wipe down the pump and bring the pump with you. So, it's nice that it comes with a little thing to just put onto the pump area or stop it from being pushed down if you need to travel. It glides onto the skin easily, absorbs quickly, doesn't leave a sticky residue after. I do notice that it's helped my complexion look a little brighter, not as dull. I'm looking forward to seeing what continued use does! I definitely recommend giving this product a try!

Nice serum, but bad smell!
I was very excited to try this! I use a serum with vitamin C in it, but it is so sticky! This one goes on nicely and after it asorbs in, doesn't leave a sticky residue. Moisturizer goes over it nicely, but I have yet to try it with makeup yet. The only down side for me is the scent, it lingers and I'm not a fan of it. My skin does seem to have a nice glow after using, but I wouldn't buy it again just because the smell of it.

My face is so bright!
I loved this product! I used it faithfully morning and night. It has a pleasant smell, and tingled just a little. My results are wonderful! My skin is softer. Firmer, brighter, and my co workers say "smoother"

Great Packaging; Hopeful Results
I was hoping to see results from this product for sun spots and haven't, yet, but am hopeful. I am one of those true beauty sickos that feels like if the product is burning or tingling, it must be working, and that is what I am at least getting here so far! The glass bottle and citrus fragrance seems very high-end and gives an extra incentive to use.

Dr. Perricone MD Vitamin C Serum Review
Hello Influencer Readers, My name is Lia, I have been writing reviews for 5 years, like Amazon, Smily360, Mpow, and My social media platforms. If you really enjoy reading my reviews? I have a main account where I do write most of my reviews at and that's on my IG account. You can find me under liasbeautyencounter if you want? Say Hi? Or let me know what products you have been liking and using or any flops that you wouldn't recommend. Lately it has been rough, crazy, stressful, mind blowing, last 4 months. I was struggling with depression and anxiety, I would stay in my room for days in and only leave to go to the kitchen or shower and etc. I think the whole virus got to me and my previous health problem with added health problems that were added back in July. My back, spine, and nerve going down my back has created the biggest life challenges. The other day, I got very irritated with not just myself, but the vacuum too. The vacuum actually didn't do anything wrong, It was me! Do you know when or remember how your body used to work? Now that you have that extra health problem, It effects your body. You get very irritated with your self, and its a very emotional situation to go through. I know that I can't feel sorry for myself or act like a little baby, but the mental and emotion plays back in forth with each other. But the physical part is just stuck in the middle, Like where do I go from this place? You want to try, Giving up is not a option or in my dictionary. You want to make a move, and you actually do, but the pain from that move stops you dead in those tracks. "So that's what I have been going through the last month or so. "But we all came here to hear this Bright Vitamin - C Review!!" Vitamin - C is a very powerful antioxidant, and antioxidants clean up the lingering free radicals in your body. Free radicals are usable molecules that can damage cells, collegen, DNA. Damaged Radicals accelerate the aging process in the human skin, Example sunspots, wrinkles, dark spots, sagging skin. Free radicals in addition to UV rays play a role in skin cancer also. So using Vitamin - C will help all the negative skincare problems better with time, but have a lower risk of getting skin cancer. What is the difference between Topical Vitamin - C compared to Supplement? Depending on your skin issues and types depend on between the two. I have heard from a skincare Dr. that taking a Vitamin C supplement/vitamin when ingested has less potency. Vitamins and Nutrients are diets enter our bloodstream, which flows to the blood vessels that feed our skin anyways. So skincare issues need a Vitamin A that is called Accutane that is more effective than its topical counterpart of Tretinon, this is for severe acne problems. It's recommended to apply your Vitamin C in the morning to provide extra protection from pollution throughout the day. You could take the Vitamin both ways, but you don't actually know how much your body really needs and how much do you actually pee out from that intake. Influenster and Dr. Perricone sent me the Vitamin C Ester C + Ferulic Brightening Complex for free in exchanged for a unbiased review. Thank you to both Brands for sending me this product. Packaging is lux, Made out of a dark glass bottle to keep from going bad. So if you happen to purchase this product, Keep in a cool dark place and that's for all Vitamin C products. It has a pump, user-friendly, You get 2 fl ozs, $159, This Vitamin C reminds me of the Drunk Elephant C Firma Day Serum. Both products have that wood burning scent that is in the ingredient called Ascorbic acid which is found inside the food of a hotdog. Vitamins C is a collagen booster Enzymes that make collegen requires Vitamin C. It also inhibits the enzyme that makes melanin in your skin so you get that brightening effect. The Ferulic ingredient in this serum helps boost the Vitamin C so it's more effective. A little back story on this Brand and Owner is very interesting. In 1997, Dr. Nicolas Perricone launched his own Brand called Clinical Creations. 1997 Authors the Cosmoceutical Revolution, later to be named The Wrinkle Cure. In 1999, Dr. Perricone became the 1st doctor to launch at Sephora. Dr. Perricone even wrote a #1 NY Times Best Selling Book and revolutionizes the beauty industry. 2007, Brand is renamed Perricone MD and 2 years later launches the biggest breakthrough Cold Plasma. I admire his whole career, life story, and work ethic. What I do appreciate on his skincare website, and the attention to details is able to read different topics about makeup, skincare, and education. Perricone MD also started a new program that rewards you for shopping with them and their products. Lots of different perks, Free Shipping $75 + Standard, Priority, and Expedited. With using this Serum for 3 weeks, I noticed that my face was more clear, more plumped, definitely brighter with more of a youthful look. I didn't have any skincare issues or problems while testing was going on, The serum is lightweight, a white cream consistency, absorbed really well, Didn't feel like the serum was sitting on my face, It felt fully absorbed like the serum did its job, Had no greasy feeling on the face, No back flash cast on the face, Scent did disappear once the product was absorbed into the skin, the scent reminded me of burning wood in a most positive experience. The only negative that I noticed was fragrance listed in one of the ingredients, Also the price is something to take in for consideration if you don't make a whole lot of money. I'm pretty sure that you can find a promotional code for this product depending on sales and stores and signing up for a first time customer.

I loved trying this Perricone MD VCD CCC + Ferulic Brightening Complex 20%. I have never tried a brightening complex like this and the results are very apparent. My skin looks more vibrant and glowing after a few uses. I would definitely recommend for this price. I received this for free to review from #Influenster.

Lovely formula
I've been using the Perricone Vitamin C Ester CCC + Ferulic Brightening Complex 20% daily since I received it and I'm liking it so far. I haven't seen any real results yet, but I'm definitely hopeful. The product packaging is nice. The tinted glass bottle is great and I always love having a pump to dispense the product. The formula itself is lovely. It has a smooth, moisturizing texture that sinks into the skin without leaving any residue. I haven't had any issues with pilling, but I also haven't tried using it under makeup yet. The formula scent is a slight hint of citrus, but it isn't overwhelming and it doesn't linger on your skin after it's applied. I've been able to use this product daily without having any issues, breakouts, or reactions so that has been fantastic. Overall I'm very satisfied with this product and will be happy to continue using it assuming I start seeing some results in the next few weeks.

Radiance Booster
Once in a while you come across a product that is a gem, Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester CCC+ Ferulic Brightening Complex is one such product. It is pricey but worth every penny. I have been using this serum for over 3 weeks now, my skin feels more radiant, smooth, even-toned and youthful. I believe it has reduced fine lines around lips and eyes area. It has made my spots a bit dull and overall brightened my dull skin. The best part is it has no bad stuff. I am not so fond of the smell but I am used to it now. It is liquid as a serum, spreads easily and absorbs easily. It feels a bit sticky but that wears off quickly. Overall a great product.
