Vitamin C Ester: Supercharged Brightening & Smoothing
A more potent, highly stable and less irritating form of antioxidant-rich Vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester gives the appearance of collagen-rich skin by visibly smoothing, brightening and minimizing discoloration over time. Unlike traditional Vitamin C, Vitamin C Ester is fat-soluble and easily absorbable for maximum antioxidant benefits.
Vitamin E: Super Skin Nourishment
A hydrating, reparative antioxidant found in almonds and avocados visibly minimizes scars and discoloration for more even-looking skin over time. A unique chemical structure enables Vitamin E to disperse within skin’s surface for long-term dramatic results.

- Hi! I just want to make sure: you have a picture with a tube that looks like my tube, alongside a tube that looks the product advertised. Is this the same product as the "Vitamin C Ester" product, that also came in 4 tubes, that I might have purchased 9 months ago? If so, is this product identical, or have there been formula changes? And, if formula changes, are there new ingredients? Thanks!

Great question: This is exactly the same product, formerly know as Vitamin C Ester 15. Please feel free to check out our helpful transition guide on the website at the link below: http://perriconemd.a.bigcontent.io/v1/static/PMD%20Product%20Matrix

- Is this the same product that used to come in the 4 tubes for $130?

Hello, yes it is the same product with the four tubes.
Kelly
Hi, yes, it is one and the same.
Catherine
- Why does it smell like fish so bad? Is something wrong with it. I bought the tubes from the site. I can't handle the smell. Please help me

Perricone MD products are formulated with the highest quality ingredients, some having natural medicinal scents. Our commitment to formulation integrity and maximum effectiveness means that sometimes the scents cannot be masked, but should dissipate after application. If the scent of a treatment does not dissipate a few minutes after applying it and following with your moisturizer, then you may need to reduce the amount you're using at a time so it absorbs completely.
Eileen
- Is Vitamin c ester 15 a pm treatment?
-
Mdd
-
Yes, Dr. Perricone recommends using the Vitamin C Ester 15 as a PM treatment to promote the look of brighter, firmer and smoother skin
- How many tubes in one shipment? Enough for 1 Month? 6 weeks?
-
MsConni
-
Hi there. There are 4 tubes @ 10mL each. If using this product every evening - the package should last one-month.. One tube per week. Hope this helps.
- Can you use Vitamin C Ester 15 with a retinol? Which should be applied first?
-
Tammyz
-
thank you for your great question. I would recommend using the Retinol products separate from Vitamin C Ester 15...you can alternate them but it is best applying them separately.
- May I use the product with Hight Potency Evening repair? Before it? Thank you
-
CristinaUsa
-
Yes you may, you can apply a serum or a toner before the High Potency Evening Repair. Please note that this is a night time treatment only.
- Can we use this product during the day before applying sunblock?
-
Vanessa
-
Thank you for contacting Perricone MD. No, we do not recommend applying the Vitamin C Ester 15 in the AM, this is a PM treatment and should only be applied at night and a moisturizer should follow last. Have a nice day!

- I have had some of the Vitamin C Ester 15 for quite a while. How long would I be able to use it before it expires?

Great question! All of Dr. Perricone's skin care products are good for up to 2 1/2 years from date of purchase and if you purchased the products in (2014) they are potent until 2016, if purchased this year (2015) they are potent until 2017. Have a nice day! Kindest regards,
Perricone MD Customer Care Specialist
- I have been using your products for about 45 days and am seeing results but I need your help, please. (A)Throughout the Perricone MD website there are discrepancies as to the sequence of applying products. This is true also with Vitamin C Ester 15. (B) Below is the "application" instructions for Vitamin C Ester 15, from your website today: 1. ..cleanse skin 2. Apply pea-size dots of Vitamin C Ester 3. Using circular motions, spread 4. ..follow with "Cold Plasma" (B) However, your Application Protocol PDF (also from your website) states that Vitamin C Ester 15 is to be applied #4-Treatments and Cold Plasma is to be applied #3-Cold Plasma. MY QUESTION: I don't mind spending money to get results, but there are multiple discrepancies. Do you, Perricone, know your products? Or, maybe it does not really matter? Other people have asked similar questions + the issue is never addressed. Maybe there are different views within the Perricone skin specialists as to the best order. Thx.

Thank you for contacting Perricone MD. Please accept my sincere apology for any confusion; there are so many products in our line and depending on the number of products you are using it can be quite overwhelming as well as confusing. There are five steps to following the Perricone regime and they are: 1a. Cleanser 1b. Treatment Mask 2. Toner or Serum 3. Exfoliant 4. Treatment 5. Moisturizer The Vitamin C Ester 15 (STEP 2) is serum/treatment and should always be applied before the Cold Plasma, then any other Perricone treatment would follow, and a moisturizer is applied last. Have a nice day!

I'm on my 3rd tube and haven't really noticed any change. The orange scent seems like a gimmick. Makes me doubt the quality of the products

I have used other prestige brands of Creams with vitamin C but these concentrated tubes provide by far the best results. My skin tone is much more even and brighter. I am 68. Find myseif always returning to the quality Perricone products.
