Long last but now found

Quick Take: hydrating, moisturizing, fantastic
About 2 years ago my husband purchased this treatment for me. At first I didnt use it, until I ran out of my other moisturizer. But when I started using it, I was so impressed! I used it all up but threw away the jar before I paid attention to what it was called! For at least 18 mos I have been looking for that great moisturizer that was made by a doctor (that's alll that I could remember) then today I looked again and saw nothing until I signed in to my account and Sephora keeps track of everything that I have purchased including my night cream! Im so happy and I can not wait to use it again! Thank you Sephora!

Quick Take: moisturizing, smells fresh, tingling
I would give this 5 stars if it were a bit less expensive. However, it does seem to help reduce discoloration and the appearance of fine lines. It has a very pleasant fragrance and tingles upon first application, but quickly absorbs and leaves the skin soft and supple. I would recommend this to anyone entering their 30s and wishing to start preventing wrinkles vs attempting to correct them.

OMG, love this product!

Quick Take: moisturizing
I wanted a night cream that does something to my skin while I sleep instead of just sitting on the surface. I've been applying it before bed every night for the last 2 weeks, and I definitely already see a difference in the evenness of my skin. One word, awesome. It firms, tightens, and does it all.

My skin feels great

Quick Take: moisturizing, non-oily
I am 59 years old and am often complimented on my skin. I believe that it is because I take just a little each morning and evening to clean and moisturize my skin. concentrated Restorative Treatment is an excellent product. It is non-oily, absorbs quickly and still moisturizes deeply.

Review 9 for Concentrated Restorative Treatment
Didn't do anything for me
-01.10.12
Quick Take: non-oily
Received this along with a gift set of other Perricone MD products (firming serum, face finishing cream, etc) about a month ago. Used it nightly but haven't seen any difference in my skin at all. It is lightweight so it's not enough to be used alone as a night cream for my normal to dry skin. It's not a serum so I'd think that a product with similar active ingredients but in a serum form would penetrate the skin more and produce better results. I'll finish the jar but will be spending my money on a serum next time.

Review 10 for Concentrated Restorative Treatment
Love Perricone MD products
-12.28.11
Quick Take: moisturizing, can be used as spot treatment, non-oily, awesome
I wanted to give this treatment 2 weeks before writing my review. I have been using Perricone products for about a year now. I use Citrus Facial Wash, Firming Facial Toner, Face Finishing Moisturizer and No Foundation foundation. Prior to using Perricone I was having trouble with oily skin, breakouts and redness, all which have disappeared. I wanted to try the Concentrated Restorative Treatment to prevent wrinkles, tighten and brighten my skin and hopefully minimize my pores. After 2 weeks I am now noticing a difference. I do look brighter and I think my pores do seem smaller. I had 2 red acne scars on my cheek which seem to be getting lighter and best of all this is not making me break out. If I do get a pimple it doesn't get to the point where they would get a year ago. Huge, red and painful and being the picker that I am, I just looked horrible. No more of that with these products. They are expensive but I don't care, I'll never stop using these products. Also another tip, the Foundation does leave my face oily looking so I just brush on some Tarte Smooth Operator and problem solved. I have no need for any blush/bronzer, my face just looks natural, not caked with makeup. Love, Love Perricone MD. Give it a try!!!!!!

Review 12 for Concentrated Restorative Treatment
Tons of Vitamin C!
-09.21.11
Quick Take: brightening, lightening, tighteing
This has the most Vitamin C Ester in the entire Perricone MD collection. It is fantastic for sun damaged pigmented skin. You want brighter skin you can't get any better than this. It is a treatment not a moisturizer. It is packed with Vitamin C Ester which is a fat soluble vitamin C. Give it about 5 weeks to see amazing results

Review 14 for Concentrated Restorative Treatment
Love it but wish the packaging was different.
-06.09.11
Quick Take: moisturizing
I've been using this moisturizer for a few nights now and I love it. My skin feels and looks brighter. I have some sun damage and the salesperson recommended this cream. I also asked for a serum but she recommended using Korres Rose Brightening Serum - she said the formula was just as good for less than half the cost. Great advice - thank you!
My only complaint is the packaging. I wish it came in a pump bottle to avoid contamination.
To the person who asked what the spoon was for - no the product does not need to be mixed. The spoon is used to avoid dipping your fingers in the product and contaminating it. A different (pump bottle) would alleviate that problem all-together.
PLEASE CHANGE THE PACKAGING TO A PUMP BOTTLE!

My Favorite Night Cream!

Quick Take: moisturizing, can be used as spot treatment, non-oily, smoothes your skin, great texture
This by far is the best night treatment on the market! It's lightweight, not oily and hydrates your skin so beautifully....and all while you're sleeping. I wake up in love with my skin everyday seeing the smoothness and glow that I never had before. It truly restores your skin to it's best!

Review 16 for Concentrated Restorative Treatment
THE ENTIRE PERRICONE LINE IS UNBELIEVABLE
-05.19.11
Quick Take: moisturizing, can be used as spot treatment, non-oily
I love Perricone MD. After using another skin care line for two years, I noticed that my skin had lost its glow. While people usually think I'm 10 to 15 years younger than I am, I wasn't getting as many mistakes. My Sephora consultant offered a variety of products to try, including two Perricone MD. The first time I used them, my skin immediately responded. My husband noticed the "glow" that same day. Luckily, I had a birthday a day later. He went to Sephora to buy everything I needed. Perricone MD products are the best I've ever used.
As the Sephora consultant eventually put it, my husband was a salesperson's dream, since he came home with just about everything Perricone MD, some of which turned out to be redundant. I want to take a moment of your time to recount an experience I had with the Sephora staff regarding my husband's purchases because the Sephora staff was extremely honest, even though they risked losing a fairly large sale. I wasn't quite sure which products should be used in what order, and when. After consulting with my Sephora consultant, who then consulted with other Sephora members, I was told to contact Perricone MD directly. I really appreciate that the Sephora staff didn't try to answer questions they were unsure of, but instead, had me phone the actual source. In my opinion, this is a huge plus for the entire staff at Sephora, who were all honest enough to admit they didn't know the answer to a few of my questions. This speaks very highly of Sephora's ethics and honesty, in general. They could have made up something, they could have guessed or they might have even sold me more product. Instead, they chose to take the high road, directed me to Perricone, and told me to return anything in excess of what Perricone staff thought I should have. Very few stores are this honest these days.
My skin looks great. Here's the products and schedule:
I alternate cleansers, using The Nutritive Cleanser (more calming), and the Citrus Facial Wash (for humid days). Both are effective gentle cleaners, easily removing environmental pollutants. The Citrus Facial Wash seems stronger, and probably cleanses pore more thoroughly. If you're only getting one cleanser, go for The Nutritive.

The Citrus Facial Wash seems stronger, and probably cleanses pore more thoroughly. If you're only getting one cleanser, go for The Nutritive.
Serum Prep firms the skin, and readies it for the next step. Cold Plasma follows, and offers a boost to the effectiveness of the products which follow. Sometimes, I substitute Firming Facial Toner (day) or Pore Minimizer (night, and shake well) for the Serum Prep. Both work to minimize pores, especially in hot humid weather. The Intensive Pore Minimizer and the Advanced Face Firming Activator can be purchased in The Power Couple Set, so you can save $50 when you buy both. If you're only buying one of them, I'd recommend the Intensive Pore Minimizer since I think its results are superior.
For firming, sometimes I use High Potency Amine Complex (day) and HP Evening Repair (night), using them at the appropriate times on the same day for the best results. On the days I use the High Potency treatments, I also spot treat with Neuropeptide Facial Cream around the corners of my mouth to help prevent lines from forming. I top this with a Perricone Moisturizer.
For skin miracles, I can't say enough good about the Acyl-Glutathione, which is truly amazing. My skin perks right up and radiates a nice healthy glow. It looks younger, tighter, and firmer, and all around better. I use this following the other products, or even alone. It's wonderful. A little goes a very long way, so a jar should last months. I had a tiny squint line by my nose and it disappeared the first time I used it.
I've chosen Face Finishing Moisturizer, which absorbs quickly and leaves my skin soft and glowing. My skin looks and feels well hydrated.

I use the Neck Cream occasionally, and the Cold Plasma Sub-D which immediately firmed up my jaw line. I saw results the very first time I used it.
For my eyes, I first use the Vitamin C Ester Eye Serum. A little of this goes a very long way. Vitamin C encourages cell renewal. I then alternate between High Potency Eye Lift and High Potency Eye Treatment, followed by Neuropeptide Eye Contour, which is designed to combat lines, and puffiness. While I didn't have any specific problems with the skin around my eyes before starting this, the area around my eyes looks better, perhaps lifted, and definitely younger. I'm very pleased with these products. The Potency Eye Lift and the Vitamin C Ester Eye Serum are currently available in the Eye Lift Synergy Set. You save $50 buying them together.
All totaled, this might seem like a somewhat expensive proposition. When broken down, it doesn't really cost as much as one might think. However, it's worth saving for, since the condition of the skin on our faces is important and something we can partially control. Every single one of these products should last for months, and compared to other brands, given the limited amounts of products necessary to achieve great results, compared to cost, is not as expensive as it might first appear. While the Acyl-Glutathione looks to be fairly expensive, I've been using it for a few weeks now, and can barely see a dent in the contents in the jar. The Vitamin C serum will probably last a year, as will some of the other products. The only product I use a lot of is The Serum Toner, and that's because it's applied to a cotton pad before use.
I have just added the Concentrated Restorative Treatment at my lower neck and at the top of my chest, as a preventative, as the suggestion of a Sephora Rep. The area looks smoother in only a couple of days.
I thought my skin was in excellent condition, but after using these products, it looks much better. These are the best products I've ever used, and the results come quickly. I recommend everything reviewed above. There's nothing better.

Review 20 for Concentrated Restorative Treatment
Great for oily black-head prone skin!
-03.04.11
Quick Take: non-oily, can be used as spot treatment, smells pleasant
I have very oily skin that is prone to blackheads and blemishing, I use this at least 4 times a week as a preventative treatment. It's the only thing that remotely resembles a moisturizer that comes anywhere near my face.
This is a night-time treatment product, and I apply it at night after Cold Plasma. I find that I don't wake up excessively oily like I typically would if I put on a moisturizer, and because of the glycolic acid in the product, my skin is brighter and clearer. With continued use, my skin stays clearer. I alternate with High Potency Evening Repair the other 3 nights a week. The joys of suffering from acne and premature aging at the same time!
If you have tried this and think it is making you break out after a couple of days, keep in mind that it has a heavy glycolic acid concentration and may be bringing debris to the surface at first. All that gunk has to get out somehow! This has a very pleasant and soothing citrus scent. I also like to put a little on the back of my hands periodically to give them a fresher appearance, as well as my decollette area. Fantastic product!
