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.

If only it smelled differently...
I used this product on dark spots on my upper chest caused by sun damage. I think I noticed some improvement, but the smell was prohibitive. I didn't want it anywhere that I could possibly smell it. It had a faint citrusy scent, which was fine, but overwhelmingly, it smelled like petroleum to me. Very unpleasant. I wish I could tolerate the smell enough to give this a really good trial.

Already Noticing A Difference
As a fan of Perricone MD products I was so excited to give the Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment a try, as I have gotten older I have noticed more discoloration and I have one stubborn dark spot on my cheekbone and I decided this would be a great spot to start. Even though it has only been a couple of weeks I believe I have already seen the beginning of some lightening and I am very much pleased. I found the product to work well with my other skincare (especially as it is only a spot treatment) and experienced no sensitivities or issues. I am going to continue to use this treatment and I would give my whole hearted recommendation to others to give this a shot if you have some spots you would like to treat.

Love this brand, never disappoints!!
This product goes on light, and you only need a pea-sized drop on your finger. Not sure that I saw much difference in my skin discoloration, but I feel with time this product would work very well for me.

Not much noticeable change.
After using this product for about a month I have not noticed a major difference in my skin tone or texture. I have seen a slight change in some dark spots due to acne healing. For that alone I would purchase this product. Because I tried this product coming off the winter season my dark sun spots were not as predominant as they would be in the summer. I am anticipating that I may notice that the product will help to maintain the spots from deepening. I would also note that I was not a huge fan of the scent. It had a light citrus scent, which I liked, but was overshadowed by a stronger more chemical based scent. I plan on continuing use and hope that it keeps my summer sun spots at bay.

I absolutely love this product!
I've used this product daily for 3 weeks. My skin is more even toned and the few dark marks I had are no longer noticeable. I used to wear concealer everyday to even out my skin and cover darker areas and now I can get away with a little powder or no makeup at all. I have an amazing glow and even a little brighter in my neck and jawline! This product worked exceptionally well for me!

Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment
Perricone MD sent me a free sample through the BzzAgent sampling program for me to try out and give my honest opinion on the results I recieved. I Used Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment for approximately 2 weeks. I applied Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment appied it am and pm after my cleansing routine. First I love the way it smells to me it has a light citrus smell. When I dabbed it on my face and both of the back of my hands I was left with a sticky feeling that was my least favorite part. THe product is supper light so after a bit the sticky goes away and you really don't know that anything is even there.It took about a week and a half for me to really see a visible difference and I am pleasantly surprised! The darkest spot on my face was the size of the eraser on the end of a pencil and fairly dark it is now a little smalled but it's super light and if I wear makeup completely unnoticable. The (approx 6) spots on my hands are also considerable more lighter. I am really pleased with the outcome!

Refreshing scent with even application
I used the Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Intensive Dark Spot Treatment each morning after I washed my face. I immediately noticed the pleasant citrus smell. It did not have a harsh chemical smell. I used it all over my face as I have multiple pigmentation issues and dark sun spots due to my advancing age. The product went on smoothly and was not gritty to the touch. It applied evenly and absorbed well into my skin. It may my skin feel soft and smooth after application. After drying, it did not create pills of product when I rubbed my face. I used the product regularly for a few weeks. I noticed a general lightening of my skin but did not think it majorly affected my dark spots. My skin did give the overall appearance of a more even skin tone. I did not experience any sort of breakout or irritation from regular use of this product.

Effective Formula!
I've been using this Perricone MD Intensive Dark Spot Treatment for a couple of weeks and I'm beginning to see results, my dark spots definitely look lighter, it also gives my skin a nice healthy glow, I love the citrusy orange scent, it's mild enough and quite enjoyable, the texture is light and absorbs quickly into the skin, it doesn't leave any kind of residue, it's not sticky, and once it's fully absorbed my skin feels supple and the softest ever! Another plus is that a little goes a long way, and didn't experience any adverse reactions or breakouts while using this treatment. It will surely continue to be part of my skincare routine, a must try!

I haven't seen any difference, yet.
I've been using this twice daily for several weeks and although I'm hopeful that I'll see improvement in the appearance of the dark spots on my face, I haven't noticed any difference yet. Product has a pleasant, mild citrus scent, absorbs quickly without a greasy residue and leaves my skin feeling soft.

I probably wouldn't buy this
I used this product religiously and was disappointed that I did not see any results. My 2 dark spots stayed the same. The scent was a little strong too. It smells a bit like grapefruit.
