Great product with both vitamin c and glycolic!
I chose this based on reviews on Nordstrom. I wanted both a Vitamin C and Glycolic Acid product and am delighted to find them together in this product. My aesthetician recommended I use layer it on top of a retinol product to assist my skin in absorbing the retinol to a deeper level. I use it 2x/week (daily was too often and left my skin slightly rough). Perfect.

Chapped my skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product once a day for less than a week, and ended up with chapping on my skin. The creases at the sides of my nose became very red, and irritated; the skin broke to be frank. My forehead has always been wrinkle free and after using this product I can see that it is very chapped and it now looks like I have many small wrinkles in that area. I had such high hopes for this product and it did the opposite of what it claims to do. Wish I would have never tried. Now I have to look for something else to hopefully undo the damage done.

Wonderful serum!
I’ve used many types of Vitamin C serums: some very expensive some not. This is the only serum that’s made a visible difference in my skin tone and lightened the pigmentation. Wonderful stuff! Highly recommend!

My Go-To Daily Face Serum
I’ve been using Vitamin C Ester Amine Face Lift for over a decade, and I am still very happy with how it makes me look younger than my 75 years. There’s a Perricone Vitamine C Ester matching lightly-tinted sunscreen that pairs very well with this product.
