Lighten and Brighten sun damaged skin the Perricone Way
Now that the long, hot summer has drawn to a close, the toll of excess sun exposure may be appearing on your face and body. Hyperpigmentation is one of the negative effects of chronic overexposure to sunlight, which also plays a role in skin aging and the development of skin cancer. In fact, it is UV radiation that is the main environmental factor that causes human skin aging. Fortunately, a new generation of anti-inflammatory, antioxidants can help counteract these problems
Human skin, like other organs, undergoes chronological aging; however, unlike other organs, our skin is in direct contact with the environment. Even worse, our face and hands are the two areas that do not have protection from clothing, exacerbating the problem. However, it is not just the sun exposure at fault. Hormonal imbalances and other factors also contribute to the loss of radiance, uneven skin tone and skin discolorations; ongoing problems that worsen with each passing year. But all the news is not bad. Tomorrow we will learn about a remarkable anti-oxidant with the power to lighten and brighten the skin.
Dr. Perricone,
I just finished your book and i came to your site to look at the products available. What i do not understand is why there is no regime that combines the vitamin C ester,the alpha lipoic acid AND the DMAE? It would seem that you advised including all these elements in an anti-aging skincare regime. How is one to know which products are the right ones for their personal needs? Thank you for a response. Pamela Waters
Dear Pamela,
Thanks for your questions.
Dr. Perricone’s product line is broken down into product categories – two of which are Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C Ester. DMAE is the firming ingredient in all of Dr. Perricone’s products. Many of Dr. Perricone’s products combine Alpha Lipoic Acid and DMAE, and others combine Vitamin C Ester and DMAE. Dr. Perricone recommends using products containing these three important ingredients daily.
For your face, we have 4 basic power products. We have daytime and nighttime products that you would select based upon your skin concerns. We basically have 2 main product categories:
To help with the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, ruddiness, scarring from acne, uneven skin tone, sun damage/sun spots; the overall quality and texture and quality of the skin:
Advanced Face Firming (ALA)
Concentrated Restorative Cream (VCE)
If your concerns include loss of tone, sagging skin, deep lines and wrinkles, age spots/discolorations; the overall firmness of the skin:
Amine Complex Face Lift (VCE)
Evening Facial Emollient (ALA)
For the eyes to address basic concerns of the eye area (beginning signs of aging):

Alexis, thanks. I wish I knew about this earlier. I knew about Alpha Lipoic Acid and Vitamin C Ester but I read Dr. Perricone’s book” Wrinkle Cure” like year 2000? So I forgot details. After these many years when I saw all these products on the website for the first time last end of December, there were a lot more products than before and it was so confusing to me. I guess I should have called in customer service or just went into your Flag shop ( I always thought I should every time when I was passing by in a cab.) Calling to customer center, I just didn’t want to wait for long on the line. I even made mistake ordering same two products in two different packaging thinking it might be different. I ordered Skin clear Cleanser, Skin Clear Hydrator, Pore Refining Cleanser and Pore Refining Moisturizer like two weeks ago for my daughter to try. She doesn’t have acne but I wanted to get something to prevent in advance. I didn’t know what to get so I decided to just order a few products to try until I find right ones and order more related products. This order was even after ordering a couple of Olive oil line products which was my first try out to find right products for my daughter. I just wasn’t sure what would be good for her. Those 4, all were under Acne and it looked different but it seems so similar. So I got all of them to try.
Over the past a few days, during this Big sale, I ordered so many things, just to try and I had trouble ordering by on line a few times so I, finally, 
called in, customer service, and during the different orders on the phone, I learned those 4 I bought two weeks ago were same products, I mean two each, but different packaging due to the transition of packaging. But that’s ok. It’s not a problem to me at all, we can still use them later. I just wanted to say, calling in customer service was not bad at all!!! It was pretty quick and much easier and clear to understand these valuable products! So thanks Alexis and people, call in that number Alexis wrote down, instead of guessing and making mistakes like me! ^_^ They are there for you.
