Perricone MD

This is the most “comfortable” tinted/spf product on earth. When I use too much tretinoin/acids my barrier gets sensitive and even mild CeraVe products sting me. This NEVER does. It feels cooling and soothing. Less flakes form. Adds a layer of armor from sun and cold winter. It seals in all products & moisture underneath all day! This would be too oily for some; stays dewy all day and if I reapply too much I’m ready to wash my face at night. It provides a very healthy look to mature skin. The tint masks my broken capillaries, lines, pores (not only doesn’t clog or accentuate them it has skincare that helps) on my light skin. It looks like wet cement in jar and color forms while rubbing in. This makes you actually glow w/ moisture & skincare. Sunscreen active is titanium dioxide, non chemical, ideal for sensitive skin. Smells like rose. Worth every penny and I am now exploring other perricone products.

The texture is unusual. It is high in jojoba oil, low in wax which are good things, but it’s not sticky or firm enough and it has a strange graininess to it. This lippie does not want to stay in place - it disappears so quickly! The colors are so great. I bought three colors and all three are very neutral, flattering and MLBB. The metal packaging is sleek and shiny, very pretty and durable, but I wish the caps slid off w no swivel (requires two hands)... Unfortunately these are way too pricey for what they are.

Oh, how I wish this came in other shades! This is way too dark for my NW20 face. The SPF is from titanium dioxide - no zinc - and it does not clog pores unlike so many other tinted moisturizers. The texture isn’t as dreamy as the non-SPF version - in fairness they should have named them differently from each other. But the texture of the SPF version is pretty darn good! Please, Dr. Perricone, put these products in hygienic tubes!
