Perricone MD

I have oily skin that is prone to breakouts, but will occasionally get dry in some areas. This line from PerriconeMD is formulated to address wrinkles, fine lines, uneven texture and tone, as well as loss of firmness. While I don’t have the wrinkles or fine lines, I thought I would try these while they were half off because it’s better to prevent than treat! I do have some uneven tone and texture though, so was excited to see how it worked for that. It was half off at Ulta last year around this time and was feeling bouje and wanted to splurge on myself, so grabbed 2 of the serums and this moisturizer to try out since I’ve heard great things about this brand. This moisturizer is packed with antioxidants (like Vitamin E) and nourishing nutrients (DMAE and kuki nut seed oil) to help combat fine lines and dryness for a smoother appearance. It delivers an instant glowing and dewy complexion. The texture is rich and hydrating, almost to the point where it feels heavy on the skin. It feels like it takes awhile to sink into the skin. I started using this moisturizer with the matching serum in December and have flown through it since I use it on my face, neck, and chest! It is too expensive to be being used up this quick 😱 while using the serum and moisturizer together, I have noticed a great reduction in the acne scars on the side of my face that were there for a while. I was impressed by that, while they’re still noticeable, they have diminished in the darkness and how visible they are. I can’t comment on the fine lines and wrinkles aspect since I don’t have either of those. I’m neutral about this product, I don’t dislike or like it. Since I have noticed a reduction in the scars, I like it, but it’s so expensive to be using up so quickly and not sinking in quick enough. Honestly, it’s just a basic moisturizer though that I wouldn’t purchase again, even if it was on sale. Plus spending that much money on just a moisturizer, let alone the serum and moisturizer together is steep. I also like trying new products, so not likely to repurchase. I would recommend trying this product if it was on sale, if you were interested in any of the benefits, but other than that, I’d say pass, it was a basic moisturizer that didn’t do anything special. The price alone would deter me from saying this product is worth it, plus having to deal with how heavy it feels is a no from me. There are better moisturizers out there. I’ve been using this up by just using it on my neck and chest and using other serums and moisturizers on my face since this is just a basic moisturizer and was getting bored of it, but didn’t want it to go bad.
