Dr. Perricone TSV?

life4real · ‎03-19-2010

Since using the tsh with the facial conformed, I have tiny bumps on my skin and neck. Can I get information about what is causing this? I'd like to keep using and hoping someone has some insight about which product it may be so I can continue with the others.

After using the tinted face finishing moisturizer and loving it, I decided to switch my skincare routine to all Perricone products. That was last year. I was using the comformer(which came in a TSV) as well as, several other products. I also had a reaction with bumps on my skin. After doing some research I found the probable culprit was the DMAE which is in most of his products. I've since stopped using Perricone except for the moisturizer, Chia oil and two of the eye serums. None of these contain the DMAE. I wish I'd done my research first as it was a very expensive lesson to end up tossed in the trash!

*I'm not crazy about the Chia and eye serums but figured I use them up rather than waste more money.

@Starpolisher Apologize for being dense. Please educate me regarding DMAE. I have had great results using the Perricone products. If it's harmful, however, I will, of course, quit.

IMO if you are getting negative reactions from a product I would stop use and return it. If indeed people are allergic to the DMAE in the product and they get enough returns ,maybe the good doctor will remove it from the product.

You could be allergic to any one of the components of any of the products...the most likely culprit is anything with fragrance in it, since fragrance is largely what people are allergic to. If you are using all of the products at once, then you would have to stop for a while, then start using them again one by one to see which is causing it.

If you are suspect of one of the products, eliminate that one first. Fyi- it can take 14 days to notice an allergy to a product, so you have to allow enough time for a reaction to develop. Some are instantaneous. That is, if you really want to continue with the line. It may just not agree with your skin.

I've used the same tsv since I got it and have had no problems with it.

No apology necessary! I"m not saying it's harmful although I did see one inconclusive study suggesting such. I'm just saying it wasn't for me. After researching it, I found that it could cause a reaction of dry, flaky, bumpy and irritated skin which is what it did to me. It was also suggested that it may not be the DMAE per se but the other ingredients that it's paired with. The info I read did say it was most beneficial for tightening skin. That's my main problem. I have very nice skin except for some sagging starting. I'm 63 and I see my skin aging exactly like my moms(she's 87, has nice skin also)so I know it's in the genes. My hands also look like hers(getting crepey). I don't have sensitive skin and usually when I try a new skincare line, I switch over to everything in that line because they say the products work synergistically . Perricone just did not work for me. You can Google DMAE and find lots of info. but if it works for you - go for it! For me, the one line that works best is Isomers. I've been using it since it's debut as NUTRIBEAUTY. Then there were only four products. I switch, for whatever reason, but always go back to it! I find it works for me(even dh notices) and I can mix it with whatever else I happen to be using at the time. Hope this helps.

Thank you for the info regarding DMAE. I am going to look too at the products you mentioned. While working for me Perricone is making my wallet is unhappy - credit cards VERY happy.
