Perricone MD Cold Plasma Review

Happy Wednesday, my dear friends! :D

About two months ago, I was lucky enough to win a Perricone MD giveaway hosted by http://www.fashionistastyle1.blogspot.com/!

The skincare product I received was the

Perricone MD Cold Plasma.

Cold Plasma represents Dr. Perricone's most comprehensive and efficacious work to date.

Through Dr. Perricone's patented delivery system, Cold Plasma offers the skin all it needs for optimal health. Cold Plasma helps correct the ten most visible signs of aging: wrinkles, enlarged pores, dryness, redness, discoloration, uneven skin tone, impurities, loss of firmness, loss of smoothness, and loss of radiance.

Whatever your age or skin type, Cold Plasma delivers extraordinary results.

After reading that great description, of course I was soooo excited to use this moisturizer. It came at a perfect time because I was in need of a new face cream - and I've heard that once you enter your twenties, you should start really taking care of your skin and thinking about wrinkles... By the way, would you say that that is true?

Anyway, it sounded promising and I was really hoping it would make my skin better - fresh, beautiful, radiant... you get the idea.

And that is why I was sad that it made my face itch. :(

It made my skin really itchy - especially my jawline. I thought maybe it was really supposed to do that and maybe my skin was just adjusting to this new cream... but, I asked my sisters (who also used it) if they were having the same reaction, and they said they weren't.

My sister, Belle, said that it makes her skin tingle and itch just a little bit, but then it goes away. Ann, my other sister, said her skin didn't itch at all. So I guess, it was just me. The Cold Plasma cream just didn't work out for me. :(

I stopped using the cream after a week of applying it twice a day (a week of super itchy skin, I should say). And yeah, guess what, the itchiness went away... permanently.

To be really honest, I have no idea why it works for my sisters and not for me. I have combination skin, but so does Ann - so I don't think skin type has anything to do with it. I am at a loss...

I wouldn't tell you to just take a risk and see for yourself because this moisturizer costs $150. If it works well, I would say it's pretty much worth it because a little goes a long way - it would probably last you around 5 or 6 months. But if it doesn't, you just kissed $150 goodbye. And we don't want that.

I know a couple months back, Perricone MD offered free samples of this Cold Plasma cream. If you are interested in trying it, maybe they can work something out for you. :)

Pros:

- lightweight

- not greasy

- moisturizes and smoothens skin

- blends well

- will last long

- has a cute little spoon (seen in the photo above) so we don't have to dip our fingers in the cream

- The package came right on time - they give you a tracking number.

- I still use a little bit of the cream to put around my eye area - kind of like an eye cream. It works pretty well for me like that. I've noticed that my eyebags are now smaller and not as dark as before.

Cons:

- Many reviews I've read pointed out the smell. Some said it smelled like spoiled fish and that it made them puke. I didn't think so, though. It doesn't have the best scent, but it's tolerable.

- the price: $150 for 1 oz./ 30mL

  8. Hi Mimi! It's been a while :D I missed reading your posts. :( I was in need of a new laptop charger and been caught up with school & work. BUT I'M BACK! haha


    anyway, isn't it "frustrating" that there's a new face cream that you wanted to try out but it never worked out? I've had that feeling before too. but look at the bright side, at least your face did not burn or you did not get any major break outs. :D

  11. Sorry it didn't work on your skin. I find skincare products to be very tricky. It works wonder on one person but totally fail on another so I find it hard to go by the reviews because everyone is so different.

    Stop by and enter my "Dior & Urban Decay - Glam those eyes" giveaway if you are interested :)

  24. Even though you and your sister have combination type skin, your skin is still very different from hers and the other way around. Her skin could have been more tolerant to product, or you could off been slightly allergic to one or more of the ingredients within that product. There really is an endless possibility on why the product worked for her and not for you, I don’t have enough info to conclude why or to really know what your skin really looks like, but those are just my guesses. I hope you understand now that products that may work for your sister my not work or you.
    Great review BTW! Your honesty is refreshing 8)
