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.

best dark spot treatment
I love this dark spot treatment. I like the light citrus fragrance and how easily the pump top gives me the right amount needed. It soaks in quickly and does not feel heavy or greasy. I have noticed a big difference in the visibility of my dark spots, they seem much lighter.

Effective Product from a Stellar Company
I received this product from Perricone MD through BzzAgent for my honest review. I was excited to try this dark spot treatment because I have been enjoying the Vitamin C Ester cleanser from Perricone MD. I have used this product for 2 weeks. It has made a significant improvement on the sunspots on my hands. I also have used it to even out my skin tone on my face. It has a light citrus smell that I love. It absorbs quickly. I will continue to use this as it works well and is a good value.

It works dark spots are getting lighter
I was a but skeptical about this as at 51 I have age spots now. I have only used this for a week but can see a difference in just that short time. I will continue to use this product as who wouldn't want to look better.

Noticeable results over time!
I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review. Perricone MD's Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment definitely helped diminish the dark pigmentation under my eyes. It worked quicker than other Vitamin C treatments I've tried. It's lightweight and pleasantly scented. I will certainly buy it when I run out because I will start using it on my hands. My only advice would be that if you are layering, this tends to "pill" with other products, so make sure it's completely absorbed before adding your sunscreen or moisturizer.

Didn't Quite Work For Me
Pros: Smell is not too pungent or overwhelming. It's a tolerable Vit C smell. Cons: I applied the serum at night, then in the morning when I washed my face, there was a film that washed off as if it wasn't absorbed. Also, irritated skin. I used this product for about 2.5 weeks morning and night. Initially, when I started to use it, my skin took to it pretty well. No irritation (itchiness or redness). After about 4 days, my skin started to become rough. I thought maybe the percentage of Vit C was too strong. I then started to use it once a day to give my skin a break. About 2 days. My skin still didn't take to it. Forehead felt rough and looked slightly red. After that, I decided to mix it with my lightweight moisturizer to see if it would make it more tolerable. No irritation at all but it also affected it efficacy. To be fair, I had to dilute this serum in order for it to be tolerable. Not sure if this product will be tolerated well on sensitive skin. If you don't have sensitive skin, I say give it a try. I may just work for you.

Helping me fight the damage I've done
I have terrible dark spots from years of going out in the sun with no protection. It's great to have a product that actually works hard to lighten those spots just as it claims, especially at my age (I am 69). Usually these products irritate and burn a bit, but I've had no irritation at all with this Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment from Perricone MD and I can see the dark spots begin to lighten up. It's going to take a while before their gone, but it took a lot of years of going out in the sun to get them, so I'm patient. As an added bonus, it leaves the rest of my skin looking a lot brighter as well.

Easy to use
Perricone MD Vitamin Ester C Intensive Dark Spot Treatment is a gentle product. One dot will probably do your whole face. I have some dark spots on my face and decollete. I used this product several times. It was easy to use and I did notice a difference. I'm eager to see fill results after several weeks of use. This was good for my menopausal skin. FYI- If you use too much, it gets sticky.
