Final Thoughts

 Dr. Perricone is great!I don’t think he would put his name on something that he didn’t feel would work as he says it will. But due to the price and some of the negative reviews I can’t help but wonder if this cream is as great as you would expect a Perricone MD product to be. It seems like the claims aren’t being met like most of the Perricone products are. The ingredients look great but again aren’t matching up to the quality that we are used to seeing under the Perricone name. The packaging looks nice but I am not a fan of jar and tub containers due to the fact that they can harbor bacteria much easier then pump tops or squeeze containers.  There are many other great products out there that off the same results, have more positive reviews and cost much less.
