N.V. Perricone ADVANCED Face Firming Activator

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.
