“Excellent service with good products”

Natali G.
1/19/21

If you want to improve your skin, by making it bright, smooth and healthy, just try products of this swiss brand. My skin has never been so good and that is thanks to the excellent daily care programm. Lots of products of this brand aimed at improving skin with anti age effect. But thanks to the girl from customer service I ordered Perricone MD hypoallergenic cbd sensitive skin therapy cream which also hydrate the skin, make it so bright, despite being for senstitive skin it has firming effect but without skin tightness. Also want to recommend vitamin C brightening serum, guess this product will be suitable for girls with post acne dots.

“Poor quality of the Perricone product”

Natalya G.
12/1/23

This product is a very poor quality. While they claim it is a wrinkle remover in fact it dried my skin badly and made more wrinkles to appear. On top of that after I purchased a sample for $40 I was automatically signed up for auto delivery. I called the customer service and they stopped further deliveries but didn't give me the option to return their product. So now I am stuck with $173 of useless junk.

This product did not work at all. And try to get a refund because they will rip you off. I purchased 200 dollars worth and after 17 tries, two months of battle, and finally going through my credit card with a complaint, I was given back just a portion of the purchase. STAY AWAY!

Tip for consumers:
This is a horrible product with even worse customer service.

My original order was delayed due to an incorrect zip code, which when I called 2 weeks later to find out where my order was, I was told the zip code issue was fixed and my order would take another 2 weeks to go all the way back to NJ and re-ship. 2 week later still no product and it was just arriving on the east coast at the warehouse again this week. I would further have to cancel the order and re-create my entire order myself - no customer service, just "sorry". My order and products were substantial and I don't need them that bad if a company can't do better than that with their customers. I don't recommend if you need their product right away, it seems they use the slowest methods possible to get them to people. And their customer service is even slower.

Without signing up you will be charged $260 dollars a month later for a subscription! This is an absolute scam, and there is no email/phone communication to address the issue.

I purchased Perricone MD Sub Plasma during the black Friday sale, it was around 44.00. Then a few weeks later I got a package in the mail and opened it. It was another shipment of the same product, which I did not order. I checked my credit card statement and I had been charged 161.00. I absolutely lost it and called the company and the agent told me I was signed up for a subscription, which I had not signed up for and after making a big stink she told me to send the product back and I would get a refund.
I waited till after the holidays and paid 15.00 to send it back.
I waited and never got a refund. A few phone calls later I did get a refund of 149.00 and was told they wouldn't refund the shipping, so in essence I spent about 30.00 on shipping for something I never ordered. In my opinion this company is preying on people and it's wrong. They used to be a good company, but apparently were sold.I don't even know if the products are any good anymore, I certainly don't have that kind of money to find out. Stay away! They will rip you off!

Tip for consumers:
I think they should lose their lisence

I received a very negative reaction from "Hight Potency Classics Face Finishing & Firming Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30". My skin (at 44 years old) broke out terribly and lasted for over 3 days. I requested a return less than a week after receiving the delivery direct from their website and they've been giving me the run-around for more than a week now. The latest request was a 4 page document I was asked to complete. I will never again buy from this company and I strongly advise others to stay far, far away.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY! They will charge your card for over $300 for products you do not want. They do it without your permission. I have never left a negative review but I want to protect others.

The company charged my account twice after it has been inactivated and yesterday sent me notification of upcoming transaction from my bank account.
For two months I'm trying to clarify the situation and get my money back. I contacted their customer service by phone and via email but my issue is still not solved. Perricone MD customer service is absolutely useless and disappointing.

When you buy direct from Perricone MD it is almost impossible to get a refund. The Lifting Serum caused a bad skin reaction on my face. I contacted Perricone from my logged in account, requesting a refund. The reply asked me several questions and wanted an uploaded photo. I did what they asked. They gave me a run around about how they were reporting the problem and never got back to me. Almost any store would refund your money without questions if you had a bad skin reaction. If you want a supplier that stands behind their product, do not buy on this site.

Tip for consumers:
If you like Perricone products, buy from a retail outlet that stands behind the product.

The products are of average quality. The green bottle I like best. Bottles are filled a little more than half. The subscription cost per month is well hidden, with no informing email whatsoever. I did not know the amount until they charged me $285 in my PayPal account. When I saw it, it was too late to cancel the charge.

Product dried out skin and caused dry flaky spots. Company doesn't honor money back guarantee. Gave me one fake excuse after another. Asked me for lot#s then later told they couldn't find my order!
Update: I posted a review on product website but just received an email from Guthy-Renker telling me they couldn't post my review! Obviously they will only post positive reviews!

That the company is a scam and they will steal your money

I purchased the Perricone MD Cold Plasma Plus Sub-D/Neck. It had an unpleasant scent, but after 3 weeks of using the cream the scent increased to a disgusting toxic like smell. I do not know what this product has in it to make it go bad, but it is pretty scary. Please read all reviews. This was almost $100 down the drain, but my health is more important to me.

I like the Perricone MD moisturizer and neck cream; however, if you order their promotion, they then start sending you the product automatically. I called to cancel getting the product and it took me almost an hour to get a cancellation confirmation. They offered me discounts to try to keep me on as a customer! I finally told them bluntly that I am canceling now. If you send me any other products, I will not pay for them! It was then thst I got a cancellation confirmation number.

Products used:
Cold Plasma Plus + Neck & Chest Cream and
Face Finishing & Firming Moisturizer
It would have been helpful knowing that you cannot order only when needed, but you have to subscribe to their sending the product every few weeks/months.

This company is HORRIBLE! They sent me a shipment I didn't order. I had to contact them twice to cancel. The first time they didn't actually cancel. The 2nd time they kept me on a chat for almost 30 minutes refusing to cancel my subscription but instead kept trying to sell more products. I used an entire box with ZERO results.

Perricone products gave me a rash. I'm not mad at the product, I'm mad at customer service. When I received my products they said if you need to return the product that there would be no questions asked. This is what they said to me... we need a picture of your rash and the batch number of each product and the expiration date plus the date you ordered. Who has time for that? I'm not very happy I lost my money and I can't use or return. So think before you order from them.

I bought from them once over the summer and they signed me up for a subscription without my consent. If their product was truly that great, they wouldn't feel the need to scam their customers.

Tip for consumers:
Don’t use it. They trick you into a subscription and make it hard to end it.

This company is a scam. I ordered in March what I thought was a one time order for $74.50. I kept seeing charges on my account each month. When I contacted their customer service department, I was told that the $74.50 was the first installment and the other two charges were 'installment' payments. After receiving a second shipment, I requested a cancellation. They said I could send the shipment back and would be reimbursed and the account cancelled. Fingers crossed that they will honor that statement. I'll update my review if they do not.

Wow I am shocked that a business like this would try to pull off such a sketchy scam. Back in September I ordered their plasma D neck cream when it was on sale. Which by the way, RIP OFF. On sale price was $120 for a tiny little container (boxy charm had a much bigger size from them for a quarter of the price) so that was a rip off. Anyway, this morning (December 7) I check my credit card and I have a $150 charge from them! I never authorized this. I then call them and the lady I spoke to seemed so nonchalant about this like she deals with it all the time with her speech prepared that I agreed to a subscription when I purchased my first order. I DONT EVEN HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH A PASSWORD. How did I agree to anything when I can't even check an account with any details or even a tracking number!? So she cancels my subscription and says the $150 order is already on the way so that can't be canceled. So this $150 order I'm being sent is just the same plasma d I ordered back in September but just $30 more! I was trying not to be rude to the lady I was speaking to but I couldn't help but laugh when she tried convincing me to not cancel and that she would give me a bigger discount for staying subscribed. Uh, NO. I would have maybe considered if I wasn't conned into agreeing to a subscription. After I say no, she asks me how much I use the product and still trying to convince me to not cancel. The frustration was hard to hide. I told her I do not have more than $100 to be spending on a small amount of product every month. In this economy? Haha no. I will most definitely be marking the charge as fraud through my credit card. I will never make the mistake of purchasing from this website and you shouldn't either.

Tip for consumers:
By purchasing anything, you are automatically subscribed to $150 worth of tiny little product. Don’t do it.

I placed an order for a trial product for $69, of their skincare for vacation, not realizing that this order automatically put me into a subscription. I discovered this from an email informing me of a charge for $340! The email came at 3:40 am, and I saw it around 9am. I called to stop the shipment, but they had their practiced speech of how they couldn't do that, and I could cancel future shipments. I did not want the one they were sending me, but they said it was too late because the order was processing (but not shipped). They told me I had to wait till the order arrived(7-10 days) before I could send it back, and then have to pay for the shipping and handling, and then the reimbursement wont happen till another 7-10 business days! That's almost 20 days before I get my money back for something I didn't know I signed up for! Shady practices and lousy customer service! Buyer Beware!

I am a new Perricone MD customer. I placed my first order and if you order over a certain amount you get a nice travel bag with some sample products. The problem - they sent me what appears to be someone's return. The product had been opened and had makeup smeared on it, the bottom of the bag had two stains in it - one being from the persons makeup. I reached out to Perricone and it's been a week of BS - they were going to replace the bag and items, they sold out of it so they are giving me something bigger, what they want to send is $100 less in value with less product than what I was supposed to get. Good luck with this company - the shipping took forever and while I really liked the products I purchased sort of grossed out with them sending me someone's return and then having zero consistent customer service to resolve the matter. Avoid them...

Tip for consumers:
Horrible overall experience despite liking the products that weren't sent used

I really thought I would try I order at 7am and then saw the not so good reviews try to call they open at 9 am callled at 9am told the customer service person I think I want to cancel please just placed the order. She said sorry I can cancel future but not this one we shipped. I said I doubt that you just open and I just did unwilling to cancel. I'm still working with credit card to stop payment. They sent out and I ask multiple times for a return slip. They block my email. Not a good company and not worth trying.

Tip for consumers:
I’m sorry I even looked at the site horrible . If the product was so good they wouldn’t treat people like this poor customer service and money hungry not.

The product caused me to breakout within24 hours I am a women in my late 50s and have not broken out for decades. I followed the process sending an e mail through the site and photo. The chat option is never available. So much for satisfaction guaranteed. Very disappointed. I loved their lipstick. Still no one responding even weeks later to resolve

This product has been around a long time - so I thought it was SAFE. This is the FIRST product I have ever been ALLERGIC to, so I didn't recognize it. I stopped it for a week because I thought it was bothering me, Applied it yesterday an HOLY HANNA, I now can't stop the BURN and hives. I now know this is what affected my face an it will be thrown away. I will also warn others

Tip for consumers:
If you choose this product , I hope you have better luck than me , (my FACE hurts , burning , stinging swollen )

Products used:
I bought this from another company , I no longer have the receipt for “PROOF” I used the serum a the moisturizer. The smell was undesirable but if the product worked I would deal, the allergic reaction did not happen right away.
