Very lightweight

I received this serum complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my review. The consistency is very lightweight liquid, so it is a fast-absorbing formulation. It has a very light and refreshing citrus scent. It contains vitamin C, used to brighten the skin to a more evened tone. According to the description of the product, It can also be used to smooth out the vertical lines around the lips. To me, it's a very easy to use serum. It doesn't turn dark, it doesn't leave any residue or stains behind, and it is not irritant on my skin.

Love the Brightening and Gentle Formula!

To be totally honest, it didn’t do much for the stubborn dark spots on my tace. But my overall skin definitely looks brighter and way less dull. What I actually love most is the texture and how gentle it is. Some Vit C serums sting my skin, but this one doesn’t at all. It also has a really nice, subtle citrus scent that isn’t overpowering. Overall, I’m really liking how healthy and radiant it makes my skin look.

Good product

I’ve used Perricone in the past and liked it. This serum is lightweight, smooth, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling soft and glowy. Not harsh or leaves any redness.

Love the brightening results

I have been using this Perricone MD Vitamin C Brightening Serum the last few weeks. It leaves my skin feeling smoother, brighter, and more even toned. I’ve noticed an improvement in my dark spots, too! The formula is lightweight and absorbs nicely, but my favorite part is the refreshing citrus scent. Such a great addition to my skincare routine. Highly recommend!!

Gentle and effective

This is a great and gentle vitamin c serum. It really works great for my skin, and doesn't irritate my skin. I would recommend this particular one for vitamin c beginners as it's more gentle than their other one. It's still a potent formula with such a high percentage of vitamin C. It looks like a stable formula that will not deteriorate. The texture is lightweight and is not greasy. It leaves a radiant and fresh complexion that's visibly more bright.

Positive results

This Vitamin C Serum is truly living up to its claims. It has brightened my dark spots and fine lines around my eyes are less noticeable. Does contain fragrance which might be a problem for those with sensitive skin types. The scent is very medicinal but dissipates after a few minutes. I recommend a fan to dry it as it doesn't absorb quickly into your skin. Took a star away for the packaging and price. While I appreciate the glass container and dropper, it can be quite messy. If you don't mind splurging on high-end Vitamin C serums I recommend this one. It's still costly but less than a favorite one by others which in my experience and opinion oxidizes quickly and not worth the hype.
