Warm up those “add to cart” clicking fingers. QVC has some seriously good skin-care products on massive sale right now. One item we’re definitely adding to our carts? Perricone MD Vitamin C Ester Brightening Amine Face Lift, a brightening and sculpting serum that’s currently 50 percent off—the best time to get your moisturized hands on a splurge item.
Like all good things though, these deals won’t last forever. No dilly dallying allowed! This sale ends in just a couple days, on Monday, July 24 to be exact.
Originally $99, now $50
Good for: Brightening, smoothing, tightening, fading sun spots, reducing appearance of uneven skin tone
Take it from us, or take it from 75-year-old reviewer Elaine. “This is one of my ‘can’t live without’ products,” she says. “I inherited good skin, so wrinkles aren’t my big problem—sagging is! This smooths my face and uplifts my jawline.” Elaine pairs the serum with Perricone MD’s Rejuvenating Moisturizer and Eyelid Lift Serum for good measure.
How it works
How does this little bottle of magic work so well? You can thank three main ingredients: vitamin C ester, glycolic acid, and a copper complex. Copper helps visibly improve firmness and elasticity by hydrating and energizing skin (something, dare I assume, we could all use), while glycolic acid steps in as a gentle exfoliator, helping to reverse the damage from all those days you forgot to wear sunscreen. Over time it’ll help reduce discoloration, including acne scars and sun spots, too.
Vitamin C ester is the star of this skincare show though. Chances are you already have a vitamin C serum routine—you are reading Well+Good, after all—but what is vitamin C ester? Think of it like vitamin C’s bigger, stronger, smarter older sister. That’s saying a lot, since vitamin C is pretty brilliant herself. Ester is a fat-soluble form of vitamin C, making it more potent (yay) and less abrasive (also yay, especially for sensitive skin types). It absorbs quickly and easily, giving you the maximum antioxidant benefits. Apply this both morning and night after cleansing and you’ll be rewarded with smoother, brighter, firmer, more even skin that your radiant self deserves.
Another benefit? This serum is free of all the yucky stuff—including sulfates, parabens, phthalates, and talc—as well as cruelty-free and vegan. The barely-there fresh scent, great for anyone who is sensitive to scents (raises hand), and lightweight feel are just bonuses. Win/win/win, if you ask us.
Count 78-year-old review Susie as another superfan of this serum. “I use it every morning and would not miss a day,” she says. “My face looks youthful and I get compliments about how young I look.”
Sold? We’d be remiss not to tell you about another money-saving deal. (We’re always looking out for your wallet here at Well+Good!) If you’re new to shopping QVC, you can take $30 off your first order of at least $60 with code NEWQVC30. Since this serum is on sale for less than that, that means you’ll have to add another item to your cart to take advantage of this deal. We have our eyes on this Le Creuset Dutch Oven, this two-in-one retinol and vitamin c serum, and this splurge of a night cream. Happy shopping.
