An effective brightening serum
Results with this have been noticeable & fast! It's a lightweight serum, medium consistency and not runny. I can dot this onto my cheeks, chin and forehead and take my time in blending in to cover my face/neck, which is great as most serums tend to drip down and off my face before I've finished even dotting them on. I use it in the morning before applying moisturizer & SPF and it's definitely improved my skin tone - much clearer, brighter and my skin feels smoother too. I love how I can use this on my lips - BIG difference as lips have a pinkish tinge to them now, also can use around the eye area which I was worried it would be too strong for, but thankfully no irritation or eye sensitivity. Also no piling when used under makeup, and not oily whatsoever. Packaging is great too, simple dropper so I get the right amount of product and a non-oxidizing amber glass bottle. Yes it's a bit pricey, but totally worth it - not because it's a great Vit C serum (there are many other good ones out there too) but because I don't have to use a separate eye serum or lip product, I can use this for more or less all face areas and neck/decolletage too. -> My ‘Nordstrom Beauty Top 7 must-have list’ (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Nordstrom) <- < 1.

Not what I expected
I have had other Perricone products, but this didn't do anything it promised to do.

Great serum!
This is a great serum: lightweight, smells fresh, and works well to lighten discoloration.
