Others mentioned they found it “hydrating” and “smoothing”. However one person said: “I am normally all for PerriconeMD products! I am a very loyal customer. However, this one did absolutely nothing for me. I really didn’t notice a difference at all when applying this product. I really wanted this to work. “

A buyer said: “I have bought this moisturiser many times, and it’s amazing! You will notice how radiant and glowing your skin looks; it smooths and nourishes the skin, and you see a noticeable difference.”
Another added: “Since I started using Perricone products, I have gotten so many compliments on my skin.” However, as with all products, not everyone got the same results. One user said: “New to Perricone and loving everything except the Face Finishing & Firming Moisturizer. Peels and flakes on my skin and not moisturising.”
Along with these products, shoppers will also receive a High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Hydrating Serum sample, a Cold Plasma Plus+ Sub-D / Neck sample, and an Essential FX Acyl-Glutathione Rejuvenating Moisturiser sample. Each included product has received high praise in the customer reviews, with most having a 4+ out of 5 average rating.
