When Perricone MD began to tease us prior the release of their Face Finishing Moisturizer Tint last month, my biggest fear was that it was designed to replace the original. Luckily, we’re safe. This daytime counterpart to the iconic classic steps it up with SPF 30 and a universal self-adjusting tint that protects and enhances the best of la face. If you’re frustrated with BB creams and are in need of a fantastic day cream with benefits, this Perricone latest is a must-try.
Those who experimented with Perricone MD before may recall the retail prices being on the high side and some of the scents a little too natural. The original Face Finishing Moisturizer, almost an exception to the rule, has a clean fresh scent and costs just $69. A go-to for many, this superb basic features the famous Dermatologist’s powerful trifecta achieve by combining Alpha Lipoic Acid, DMAE, and Vitamin C Ester. The brand new Tint is priced equally attractively and provides broad spectrum protection and encapsulated pigment for sheer coverage.
Face Finishing Moisturizer Tint is light and fluffy in texture. Slightly creamier than its predecessor, the tinted version may be applied as a finishing touch after all treatment products. This time, incorporating it as the last step of your AM routine. The core smoothing, resurfacing and protective benefits are enhanced with time released burst of color that works on all skintones and skin types. Thanks to a hint of mica, the sheer yet dewy finish is very forgiving and natural. And shimmer free!
Extremely hydrating, this moisturizer layers well over any essence or serum du jour. I often have trouble recognizing luxury in a cosmeceutical grade product. However, the traceless sun protection in this case screams prestige and performance. Truthfully, if the SPF mention weren’t on the packaging, I’d never have believed this to be a hardcore UVA and UVB fighter. The impressive glow is not so much about concealing as it is about evening out the tone to achieve a radiant and rested effect.
After my tremendous experience with some of the recent Perricone MD inventions (OMG Chloro Plasma and No Bronzer Bronzer, anyone???), the new Face Finishing Moisturizer Tint has once again earned itself a spot on the top shelf. With warmer weather (hopefully) around the corner, I am all about SPF and the faux glow. If it were available in a tube instead of a jar, its status would move to ‘holy grail’ and it would be an ideal travel companion. Soon? Ask, believe, receive…
Perricone MD Face Finishing Moisturizer Tint $69 (2 oz.) is available at Sephora.com and Nordstrom.com.
