Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer Review

Our Verdict

This moisturizer from Perricone MD isn’t for everyone. The packaging doesn’t make it clear at first, but from our experience with the cream, it’s best for aging skins in their late thirties and beyond. If you’re in your twenties, you should check our review of the Natura Bisse C+C Vitamin Cream or AHAVA Essential Day Moisturizer instead. They’ll be a much better match for you.

But, if you’re over 35, this is an amazing daily moisturizer!

Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer includes three proven active ingredients that will help decrease wrinkles and fine lines and increase your skin’s natural elasticity. It’s a creamy but lightweight moisturizer, so it works best with normal to oily skins.

One month with Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer

If you are experiencing signs of aging skin, Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer is a great cream to add to your daily routine.

It’s made with three powerful anti-aging ingredients that will help actively reduce wrinkles and fine lines and increase the natural elasticity of your skin. You will actually feel the effect of those ingredients when applying the moisturizer as they penetrate your skin (more on that below).

The first ingredient used in this moisturizer is Alpha Lipoic Acid. It’s a powerful antioxidant that is naturally made in our bodies but also found in some green vegetables.

The second ingredient that makes this cream so special is DMAE, another anti-inflammatory and antioxidant which has firming and toning benefits.

And lastly, the third key ingredients is Vitamin C Ester that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and discoloration.

These three ingredients combined have been proven to prevent aging when applied on the skin by protecting cells from free radical inflammation.

Because these anti-aging ingredients take a bit of time to penetrate the skin, it’s best if you wait 5 to 10 minutes before applying makeup on top for the moisturizer. You might actually feel the effects of the cream penetrating your skin on some days if your face has been deeply cleansed first. Your pores will gradually tighten, visibly reducing fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin smooth but not oily. It’s definitely unlike normal moisturizer in that respect.

Results

1. A visibly firmer and softer skin within a few days of use.
2. More clarity and less pigmentation thanks to the active Vitamin C ingredient.
3. Minimizes the length, width and depth of wrinkles.

APPLICATION

Apply liberally over face and neck in the morning and evening after cleanser and toner (and serum if you use one).

Who it’s for

Anyone who’s seeing the first signs of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s best for normal to oily skins. Dry skins should use something else, such as Natura Bisse Diamond Extreme or Eminence Organics Coconut Age Corrective Moisturizer.
