N.V. Perricone ADVANCED Face Firming Activator by N.V. Perricone M.D. Cosmeceuticals, Dermatology Treatments & Peels Review

6.0

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.

Something fishy.

Could not get past the smell. It smells like ground up dried shrimp. Gross. — 5 months, 2 weeks ago

Nice Product but too Expensive
sheilababe (84 reviews)

I really like this product. It softened my 11 lines and improved the overall look of my skin but the price is crazy! I was only able to try this because of a great sale. I'd love to use this regularly but I can't afford it. — 1 year, 3 months ago

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. — 2 years, 2 months ago
