Perricone TSV Is Getting Some Interesting Reviews...Hmmmmm

lyn61 — Thu, 10 Mar 2016 12:49:55 GMT

I only got mine last night..Took forever to recieve...The reviews on this so far are NOT good...Yes the Facial Cream does SMELL LIKE DEAD FISH....The Conformer smells like a Funfetti Cake, thats good!!

I will not leave a reveive or return this until I give it a few weeks try. Now, when I go to work today I hope no one tells me they smell fish!

I do believe though that QVC will be getting a ton of returns on this though...I hope this works on me!!!!

It's too early for accurate review. I know smell is important to some people, but the odor has nothing to do with the efectiveness.

@lyn61I didn't order this TSV -had just started with the previous Dr. P by the time this one was offered. What do you hope yours will do? They all promise magic - but realistically what most of get is a bit of improvement.

BTW- you will not smell like fish at work --unless you can be at work 20 seconds after you use that conformer. At least that's been my experience with any Dr. P. products with that odor. I almost don't notice it any longer.

There are two forms of DMAE. The fishy smelling one is more effective. That's where the firming comes from. I don't know why a masking scent wasn't used to make it smell more pleasant.

I personally do not believe that most people give the Perricone products enough time. QVC offers a 30 day return policy but I feel that it can take longer than that to see a difference in your skin. I have used Perricone for years. I bought the Neuropeptide facial conformer when it was offered at half off during one of the "Super Saturday" shows at the Hamptons ( fundraiser?). It was a one ounce of the conformer and I think I still spent $135. What I loved about the conformer was the firming effect that it gave my skin. It also decreased my lines significantaly. I personally felt it was the best product I had used of the Perricone line. My face looked younger and I was happy with it. I knew I could never afford the conformer again so I just kept using the Advanced face firming activator and the neuropeptide facial cream with good results. I always wished they had come out with a TSV that contained the conformer. Well they finally did and this is one of those TSV'S that I will make sure I get all four shipments within the next two years. As far as the smell goes I could personally care less. It dissipates quickly and the results outweigh any odor. Whether the reviews are good or bad does not affect my decison that these two products that were offered is the best Perricone TSV ever offered.

If I remember correctly, Perricone products never contain added fragrance. If they did, then some may be sensitive to the "masking" scent so it seems companies can't win with customers.

I have a few products from other lines that have interesting scents from the ingredients in them and appreciate that they don't use added fragrance to cover it up, especially since the scent dissipates after a few seconds of applying it.

To me, as long as I know the scent is coming from a particular ingredient and dissipates fairly quickly once applied and is actually working, I don't really worry too much about how "stinky" something is.

Some of his products are in jars -- a no no. When jars are open, the beneficial ingredients are not stable as oxygen gets to them. None of Paula's Choice products are in jars. I don't understand why Dr. P's and other skin care lines are in jars when this info is well known.

This is not necessarly true of all beneficial ingredients-not all ingredients are affected by exposure to light and/or air. But I don't like jars in general for several reasons.

Camel love how long did it take for you to see results? what else do you use in the Perricone line?

Unless one has an allergic reaction, I believe in waiting at least 6 weeks to review a skincare product. Unlike makeup, I don't expect immediate results.

I agree that people should give skincare several weeks before they review. I've seen reviews after only a few days and I'm sorry but unless it is one of those temporary products like that PTR product, skincare will take awhile before you see results. I think return policies on skincare should be more like 6 weeks too, not just 30 days, if they want people to actually see results and be convinced to keep the product, especially if it is pricey like Perricone tends to be. But some people are unrrealistic and expect to see miracles in two weeks and then scream and rant that the products are worthless, lol!

I agree that return policies should be at least 60 days. 30 is not enough and probably contributes to returns. Sometimes I feel pressured to try the products and make a decision about their efficacy before I am ready especially if they are expensive items. The shopping channels would probably have fewer returns if they adjusted this policy.

A lot of it is the vendors fault, how many times do they say, results within seven days or even sooner. People get the product home, don't get results in seven days so back it goes.

Some of his products have always had a fishy smell. It goes away but I don't get being surprised when this is always brought up when his products are discussed.

Agree, 6 weeks at LEAST before you know if it works... 3 months is even better. Of course, if you react, then you stop.

Since I have recently acquired an allergic reaction to the Acyl eye lid firming serum, I spoke with a beauty advisor today from Perricone. She was very helpful.

I have been using the Acyl eye lid firming serum along with the hypoallergenic firming eye cream for years and this last bottle I got half way thru and then trouble started. We agreed it was the eye lid serum. This product is NOT hypoallergenic and is a very potent treatment product. She said it is not unusual to develop a sensitivity to it over time.

The good news is, once my eye area has healed, she said using the hypoallergenic firming eye cream will be fine since this is what this product was made for. I was so happy to hear that but then what do I do about a treatment product for the eyelid droop?

She said to use the Neuropeptide eye therapy since they changed the recipe and put it in a jar instead of a pump, they have been able to add more moisterizing benefits to it and the Neuropeptide line is the most advanced in Dr. Perricone's collection. It is an all in one eye cream/treatment product now and will give the same if not better results without the fear of reaction. I could not have been more thrilled! I do use several of the Neuropeptide line and am on backorder for the TSV from Feb. 27 even tho I ordered that morning with expedited shipping. The backorder went into effect 48 hours later and it still is on backorder which I have been told could be three weeks. The beauty advisor said to stay on the backorder....the products are totally worth it.

I use the facial conformer now only one day a week because of price but am happy with the results. The price of the two item TSV could not be passed up and the Perricone beauty advisor whole heartedly agreed.

Anxious to try the Neuropeptide facial cream....smell or no smell. The DMAE collection of products are a notch below the neuropeptide products for those that do not want/need that level of results.

This is alot to absorb but I felt it was good information to pass along.

When Dana was presenting a caller called in and asked about using retinol under the conformer. She said yes you could do that. Does anyone do that who uses it?

Misscindy — Fri, 11 Mar 2016 12:32:02 GMT

Nadine01 I saw conformer results in about 2 months after consistent use. I then decided to start alternating it with the facial neuropeptide facial cream and the advanced face firming activator. I also use the blue plasma face and eye. The blue plasma eye I only use at night and that is a great product for me. I also use cold plasma, hyalo plasma, neuropeptide facial cream, face finishing moisturizer, deep moisturizer therapy. high potency amine face treatment, high potency evening repair and the neuropeptide night cream. I know this sounds like a lot of products but I got most of them in special kits or previous TSV. I obviously do not use them all at once. Some of the treatment products I alternate at night and some I alternate during the day. I date every product to see exactly how long it lasts. You don't need much Perricone product and some of the products have lased a year. I'm 56 but must tell you that this line just works for me. I will tell you that I pat a small amount of the neuropeptide facial cream on the corners of my eyes and I have very few lines there.

Nadine01 I also use the cold plasma Sub-D on my neck and that product works very well on my neck.
