Vitamin C Ester: Supercharged Brightening and Smoothing
A potent and highly stable form of antioxidant powerhouse vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester helps give the appearance of collagen-rich skin by smoothing, brightening and helping to minimize the look of discoloration over time. Unlike traditional vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester is fat-soluble and easily absorbable for maximum antioxidant benefits.
Alpha-Arbutin: Powerful Dark Spot Inhibitor
A molecule extracted from the bearberry plant that lessens the appearance of dark spots for a more even tone by helping to prevent the look of melanin in the skin. Pairs well with other brightening agents like vitamin C for increased effectiveness.
Resorcinol: Skin Radiance Enhancer
A molecule derived from pine tree bark that promotes a visibly bright, radiant-looking complexion by working to address pigmentation and uneven skin tone. It also helps provide antioxidant protection to fight against free radical damage.

Didn't work for me
I don't have a lot of dark spots but the few that I used this product on did not show any change after two weeks. Also, I had a difficult time working this spot treatment into my skincare regimen. I use serum and moisturizer and couldn't figure if it should go first or last. In addition, the pump dispensed too much product. I normally like Perricone MD skincare but this one was a miss.

Too Soon to Say
I received this product for free in exchange for my honest feedback. I have been using the Dark Spot Treatment daily in the morning for 3+ weeks. I cannot say I have noticed any fading but can say that the product itself is very nice and smoothing, so a good addition in that way. I can tend to have sensitive skin but there was no irritation at all. The scent is citrusy and mild. The product layers well under daily moisturizer/sunscreen. I intend to keep using it in the morning and hope to see some change in darker pigmentation. Otherwise I will use it as a vitamin c treatment (in general).

Slight improvement
I received this for free as a #BuzzAgent. PerriconeMD is very easy to use and although I have not used it very long (< 3 weeks) I have seen a slight improvement in my age spots.

I loved the free sample
I tried the free sample that I trceived for Perricon MD that I was given to try. I was very surprised how fast it started to fade the dark summaries on my face. It was very lightweight and non greater. I didn't though care for the smell it left behind after using it.

Lightened my melasma!
I have some acne scarring and one troublesome melasma spot so I wanted to try this product for a while. I signed up to receive a free sample in exchange for an honest review. I tried this product once a day at bedtime for 2 weeks. In comparing before and after photos, my spot is at least one shade lighter and appears smaller. I am definitely going to continue using the spot treatment to see how much I can make it disappear!

Abundant Antioxidants
Perricone MD Intense Dark Spot Treatment smells of oranges!! Lovely scent for a product meant to reduce dark skin spots. The serum absorbed well and quickly, so you can put on makeup or sunscreen right away. Worked well on my face. Tried on some pigmented spots on the back of my hand and was disappointed. I saw no change. I will continue to use this serum on my face as it works and has the lovely orange scent!

Dark Spot Treatment
I used this product twice a day. I did not notice a large difference on my dark spot. I have one on my cheek and even after several weeks, it was only slightly lighter. It is also quite sticky which bothered me during the day. I did not mind the stickiness at night.

Fades dark spots
I've been using Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment for just over two weeks. I grew up in sunny Florida and even though I always used sunscreen I still have dark spots. I focused on applying the product to my forehead and the tops of my hands. While the spots aren't totally gone, they have definitely faded. I noticed they were fading within a week of use. As an added bonus, it makes my skin feel so soft and smooth. This treatment has a pleasant scent, it's not overpowering. I have been using it morning and evening. If you use it in the morning, use sunscreen as it says on the directions. I'll include before and after pictures of the top of the my hand to show how the dark spots have faded. I would recommend this product if you're looking to do the same.

Very high quality product
I received this product for free in exchange for writing a review and I sure am glad I had the opportunity to try it. The product has a nice light scent and went on smoothly. I did see a slight brightening of the areas with my dark spots but not a total erasure.

Great Product To Help With Dark Spots
I grew up being outside all the time with no sunscreen and I paying for it now. I have dark spots and hyperpigmentation. I also have really dry skin that sometimes gets irritated with serums. I have to say since I have started using this Vitamin C serum my face seems brighter and less dull. I wish I would have remembered to take a before picture. I notice that the dark spots are not as noticeable. I am hoping over more time that they won't be visible. The serum has not irritated my skin. I use at night before bed and it goes on really easy.
