What It Is: A potent exfoliating polish from the Vitamin C Ester line of Perricone MD. This treatment is designed as an intensive weekly (1–2× per week) exfoliating facial polish — combining ultra-fine physical exfoliation with antioxidant-rich ingredients to deeply cleanse, brighten, and refine skin.

What It Does: 

• Gently eliminates dead skin cells and clears away impurities, excess oil, and debris from pores — without causing micro-tears or scratching.
• Promotes smoother, more refined skin texture and helps reduce the appearance of uneven tone, dullness, and dark spots over time.
• Helps improve overall skin radiance and clarity, leaving skin brighter, softer, and more polished after use.

Key Ingredients:

• Vitamin C Ester: A stable, fat-soluble form of vitamin C that absorbs easily into skin. It helps brighten skin, even out discoloration, and supports the appearance of collagen-rich, youthful skin.
• Ferulic Acid: A powerful plant-based antioxidant that helps protect skin from free radical damage, supports even tone, and can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots over time.
• Enzymatic Fruit Complex (Papaya & Mango Extracts): Botanical exfoliants that gently break down dead skin while delivering antioxidant benefits and supporting a more even, radiant complexion.
• Ultra-Fine Granular Silica: Provides physical exfoliation to gently slough away dead skin cells and clean out pores without harsh damage to the skin barrier.

Benefits: 

• Skin looks smoother, softer, and more refined — fine lines, rough texture, and unevenness are visibly diminished.
• Complexion becomes brighter, clearer, and more radiant — dark spots, dullness, and uneven tone are reduced over time.
• Pores appear minimized, as impurities and buildup are gently cleared from skin.
• Skin feels refreshed, polished, and healthy — many users report visible improvements in softness, glow, and overall skin quality even after a few uses.
• Helps prepare skin for other treatments — by removing dead skin and improving texture, it can enhance the absorption and effectiveness of serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products.

Results:

In a clinical study where women used the polish twice weekly for 4 weeks:

• 100% showed significant improvement in skin texture

• 97% showed significant improvement in tone and brightness

• 97% saw visible reduction in pore size

• 88% saw visible reduction in wrinkles; 82% saw reduction in fine lines

Consumer-reported results include softer skin, more glow, smoother texture, fewer imperfections, and an overall more radiant complexion.

How To Use:

1. After cleansing, wet your hands and massage a small amount of the polish between your fingertips.
2. Apply to damp skin using gentle circular motions — avoid the eye area. For deeper exfoliation, you can rub a bit more vigorously.
3. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
4. Use 1–2 times per week, in the morning or evening, depending on your skin’s tolerance and routine.

5. Follow with your usual serum and moisturizer — and if used during the day, don’t forget to apply broad-spectrum SPF, as exfoliation can make skin more sun-sensitive.
