Dullness is the skin issue everyone has and nobody admits to. Perricone MD‘s Super line — and specifically the Brightening Activator — addresses it without the irritation that comes with most brightening serums.
What’s in it
Vitamin C in a stable formulation, a peptide complex, and Dr Perricone’s signature alpha lipoic acid. Designed to be layered under moisturizer in the morning to counter the day’s accumulated environmental stress.
How it wears
Lightweight serum, sinks in within a minute, no tackiness, no glow afterwards — the brightening shows up over weeks of consistent use rather than instantly. Three weeks in, my skin photographed visibly more even.
The verdict
If you’re tired of skin looking ‘tired’ in photos, this is the workhorse to add to your morning lineup.
