Editor Review

Rated a 6

An "advanced" version of the doc's best-seller, it's got higher concentrations of anti-aging ingredients (antioxidant alpha lipoic acid, hydrating hyaluronic acid, tightening DMAE) -- but is your skin ready to graduate? This is a derm-strength product, so unlike the claim, it can stress and shock skin, particularly if used daily, as recommended. Use every few days to simply refine pores. However, it doesn't "plump and hydrate" effectively; you will need moisturizer. And you'll suffer for beauty: It's expensive and smells like rotten eggs.

    Use it sparingly

    by MeredithPB (11 reviews)
    I have used this product daily for about 3-4 months. My skin has never looked better, but I don't think I can completely attribute that change to this specific product (I think it is actually a combination of the entire Perricone system). I have noticed a change in my pore size, but I haven't noticed a change in fine lines ...and/or wrinkles. I found out the hard way that one pump is all that is needed for the entire face area - otherwise it will roll off your skin in little thread like pieces. Your skin also needs to be completely dry when you apply it (make sure your toner has absorbed completely). And it definitely needs a moisturizer on top. I will continue to use, and definitely repurchase unless I find something I like better! February 15, 2008, 5:58 pm

    pilling problem with this product

    by Chris53 (4 reviews)
    I am a Paramedical Esthetician, and use this product on my own skin. I have had 2 bottles and both go on with great difficulty. The product pills up and rolls off the skin instead of being absorbed. I did alert the manufacturer, and they replaced the first bottle. I have noticed some reduction in facial discolorations, ...but otherwise, no real improvement. Not sure I would buy this again. December 11, 2007, 6:16 am

    Wonderful Product

    by lovetoshop (3 reviews)
    I have been using the AFFA for several months and have noticed an amazing difference in my skin. I have a radiant glow that I did not have before. I am 47 and was beginning to notice some fine lines and a little sagging. I now use several Perricone products and cannot believe the difference. When I wake up my skin feels so ...soft and my hormonal breakouts have diminshed. November 28, 2007, 11:45 am

    Works, but the price?

    by lbrowneh (21 reviews)
    This product works well, but for the price I didn't see the results I expected. The smell leaves much to be desired as well. If you have the money, NV Perricone works well. My fine lines are somewhat reduced, but not $120 noticeable. Save $120 for a few months, then invest in a really great enzyme facial. You'll apprec...iate the difference. July 1, 2008, 12:54 pm

    I expected better results considering the price.

    by Scout24 (6 reviews)
    I used this product for about 8 weeks along with some other products from the N.V. Perricone line. I do feel that my skin's texture is softer and smoother but that's about all. Considering the price I would like more of an all over improvement in my skin's condition. April 24, 2008, 7:00 pm

    Unpleasant is not the word

    This stuff smells like rotten fish. The smell trumps everything. I'm so disappointed, I don't expect it to be heavily fragranced, but have it without any scent. Invest your money towards something else. November 15, 2009, 4:57 pm

    Long time user

    by Npaiken (2 reviews)
    This product along with the evening facial emollient are my only face care products. I have been complimented enough about my complexion to believe they are worth the price. I am 51 years old and work outdoors. I started with Perricone in 2002. August 13, 2009, 11:54 am

    LOVE IT!

    by Chili707 (3 reviews)
    I am 34 years old and I am addicted to skin care..My biggest fear is looking old..I have been using Perricone skin care line for the past 2 months and I love it!...I noticed the appearance of my skin has a healthy glow and I get a lot of compliments on my skin!...The only downfall is that is can tend to have a slight fishy ...smell and I was told because of the DMAE...But it does not stop me from using it..It works!

    Organic Face Firming Serum

    by Nancyw999 (2 reviews)
    I like the Made from Earth skin care like firming treatment....i think its called the Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum – it has pure organic herbal extracts and vitamins infused in it. Plus its much cheaper than what you''d pay at a spa for a firming facial. Cheaper than a face lift or a thermage treatment. Highly re...commended plus its non-alergetic and great for sensitive skin. I have now stopped using it because I have seen permanent results under my eyes. .I love it. . . February 5, 2009, 1:49 pm

    This goes on before anything else!

    by LadyMary (9 reviews)
    You will fall in love with this product; and want to buy it again and again! It is a KEEPER for me! I have been using this for over a year! When you can really see a difference is when you decide to try something cheaper!!!! Don't overuse any of Dr. Perricone's products! A very little goes a long time!
