Two Ways to Win $215 in Perricone MD!

by 207 Comments

Do ya ever get the itch to try new skin care stuff? I have my favorite fallbacks — the products I run back to when my face freaks out — but I’m a product junkie at heart. I’ll use any excuse to try a new cleanser, treatment or moisturizer, le sigh!

I’ve been wanting to check out Perricone MD and their cosmeceuticals. Perricone’s a high-end line of facial cleansers, moisturizers and anti-aging treatments, and prices range from $30 to $300 per item.

Which is why I think it’s time for a giveaway. 🙂

The prize

One lucky lady will win a prize package worth $215 in Perricone MD.

The prize includes…

  1. A bottle of Advanced Face Firming Activator (a $120 value). This bestseller’s a lightweight, non-greasy anti-aging treament formulated with alpha lipoic acid (an antioxidant) and DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol, an organic compound found in many anti-aging supplements). Perricone claims this bad boy will reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores.
  2. A bottle of High Potency Eye Lift (a $95 value). Also a Perricone favorite, this eye treatment is said to repair advanced signs of aging around the delicate eye area while also minimizing deep lines, wrinkles and under-eye bags.

  2. You know what my problem is? I break out like a 14 year old! Ever since getting pregnant with my first child last year, my skin backslid 15 years. But, I have very dry and sensitive skin and am starting to show signs of aging. I can deal with acne. I can deal with aging. But they shouldn’t exist together!

  8. I am 37 years old and my skin is really beginning to age. I hope it’s not too late to slow down the process..

  9. Ugh. acne and acne SCARING. No amount of make up will ever conceal the bumpiness 🙁 or discoloration.

    Thanks for having this one Karen, it’s always exciting to try out the high end brands to measure up the hype 😛

  12. My biggest skincare concern is losing firmness. Sagging face is no good. I just started using Perricone MD’s No Foundation Foundation Sephora sample and so far, so good. I may have to decide if it’s worth $50!

    Reply

  13. My biggest concern is that I am starting to see some sun damage in the form of brown spots. I have used Perricone before with fantastic results so I would to be able to tryt it again.

    Reply

  16. My biggest skin concern right now is bad acne scarring. Never had this before so it’s definitely a problem.

    Reply

  17. Even though I am only in my early twenties, I am definitely worried about aging! Prevention is better than plastic 🙂

    Reply

  18. Biggest concern is maintaining healthy skin as I get older. So far it’s okay except for the occasional pimple, but if I could prevent even that I’d be over the moon.

  21. My skin problems aren’t anything major, but I think my mom would love to try this stuff! She’ll be 44 this year and I think she’s feeling a little depressed about it, even though I think she’s beautiful and tell her all the time. Happy Thursday!

    Reply

  22. Right now my biggest skincare concern is sun protection! I’m on Accutane but I love being outside. (I also am worried about wrinkles, and dry skin, and acne–man life is rough for my poor skin!)

    Reply

  23. Acne (even while in my thirties) is pretty well controlled with Retin-A even in the hot humid Texas summer. I’ve noticed those little lines crinkling around my eyes – it’s starting to bother me. I found your blog while looking for eye cream reviews on the web. I’m also obsessive about the skin on my chest in preventing sun damage – it has got to match my face and not have the dried out leathery look later in life. Huge fan of sunblock. And I’m ok with being Casper.

    Reply

  24. This is one fancy brand that I haven’t had a chance to try. It must be good when you feature it. Thanks, Karen.

    My skin is very acne prone and I just got some help from Accutane. Now my skin is dry but oily in T-zone, still, so it’s not easy to find skincare products that work

  25. Graduate school takes it toll. I’m 22 and constantly battling dark under eye circles and dull, tired looking skin.

    Reply

  27. My biggest concerns are dark circles and preventing/reducing the first signs of aging before they develop into full-fledged lines!

    Reply

  28. Sun damage is my biggest concern. Oh, and I’m also in that awkaward in-between stage: in between acne and fine lines!

    Reply

  31. My biggest concern at the moment is finding a lightweight base for the summer, I have a pink tone to my skin so I need something to even me out and something that won’t melt off my face in the 90 degree weather we got here in Orlando,FL.

    Reply

  34. Hmm, that’s a toughie. I think my biggest skin concern is oiliness. My skin’s in pretty good shape and I like to think I’m maintaining it well, but in the summertime, I just get so shiny! And I think that’s also what’s causing the minor zit/blackhead here and there since more stuff *sticks* to my face because of that.

  35. I’m 29, and I feel like I’ve got pretty good skin. People think I’m younger (sometimes up to a decade), and I would really like to keep it that way, but just by taking care of my skin. It’s not that I’m worried about wrinkles, so much, but more that I don’t want them prematurely.

    Reply

  36. My biggest problem is that I am 28 and just now realizing that I need to start really taking care of my skin. I’ve got a wrinkle forming between my brow and my pores seem to be getting larger (is that possible???)

    Reply

  37. My biggest concern are my freckles/ sunspots. I wear sunscreen and a hat anytime I’m in the sun, but it doesn’t seem to help.

    Reply

  40. My biggest skin concern is acne, more specifically my bacne! It makes it awkward to wear tank tops or other open-back tops/dresses.

    Reply

  46. My biggest skin concern is finding products that don’t irritate my sensitive skin – I am also trying to prevent wrinkles!

    Reply

  48. I am worried that this sotret (aka accutane) is not working & I have spent the past 5 months being miserable for nothing!!!

    Reply

  49. Since I’m only 19 I guess my biggest concern is breakouts, followed by preventing wrinkles. So of course, I wear that sunscreen like nobody’s business. And yeah, enlarged pores are scary too. Ahhhh!!

    Reply

  54. my biggest concern for skin is shine…im really OCD about unwanted shine so i use EVERYTHING matifying. perricone uses non-oily formulas so thats perfect!
    and under-eye circles of course, coffee only goes so far!

    Reply

  56. Hey all! I’m new here, but thought why not give this a go?

    My biggest concern is that dreaded combination of redness and sensitivity! Ugh, will it ever end? Alas… I must have faith that it will. =)

    Cheers

  57. I have two big concerns, one’s reducing the dark circles under my eyes and fine lines. and two is getting rid of those annoying blackheads and enlarged pores. Dx

    Reply

  63. My biggest concern with my skin is the loss of elasticity, the look of early sagging skin around my cheeks, mouth, and chin. My eyelids (of course) are also suffering the same aging effects.

    Reply

  64. I’m having a problem with my eyes too, but mine’s these big bags I can’t seem to get rid of. I’ve tried so many things that claim to help but they don’t. I swear these things have aged me 10 years. I just want to cry!

    Reply

  67. I’m always looking for something to help make my pores look smaller. I also struggle with, what I think, is combination skin.

    Reply

  69. First of all, thanks for having this contest Karen 🙂 I’ve heard great things about Perricone but want to know more before I try anything, especially seems it’s out of my price range. My biggest skin concern is and has been for a few years now, acne. When I stress out, I break out like crazy. I’d love to find something that’s gentle and effective, especially as I have really sensitive skin.

    Reply

  70. My biggest skincare concern I’d have to say is … too many! My skin is quite sensitive. If I skip a step or add something new to my daily ritual, I’ll get a mad reaction. My skin freaks out on me like Aunt Flow! I can have oily skin one week and super dry skin the next. The worst case was when I had an allergic reaction to a toner and started flaking. Not only was a my face drying up, it also burned! It got better after a couple of weeks. I had to wear Vaseline on my face at night and aloe during the day. I guess the real major concern is maintaining my face on a whole.

    Reply

  71. let’s see….where to start? it’s the combination skin where i still break out and have somewhat large pores. also, i’m in the process of looking of a good eye cream to keep my lids moisterized and to keep those fine lines/dark circles away

    Reply

  72. Mine are fine lines AND dark circles on my undereye area. So far i haven’t found a concealer that effectively covers up the dark circles and doesn’t emphasize the lines 🙁

    Reply

  73. My biggest skin care concern right now is acne! I’m always looking for products to keep my skin looking young, though 🙂

    Reply

  74. I’m still searching for something that will even out the redness in my cheeks. I’m always blotchy and Clinique Comfort On Call didn’t seem to work for redness.

  75. A tale of woe to begin regarding my skin
    Some areas are dry, can’t help but cry
    I thought my acne was done, seems like it’s just begun
    Totally love makeup
    My skin just has to improve
    Karen, hear my plea
    my skin just leaves me unhappy

  79. My biggest concern is the dark circles and fine lines around my eyes. So sad that I have wrinkles already. Im only in my twenties!! 🙁

    Reply

  83. my biggest skin concern is that when i breakout, i dont just get small bits of acne, i get huge mountains of redness that are in such noticable places ( chin, upper lip, middle of forehead etc.) they also embed themselves onto my self for a loong time before they start to fade!

    Reply

  84. my problem is i think agne, is like every single pore that i have have that white staff but i don’t get pimples or anything like that is just like black heads but not black white i just dont know what to do anymore they look like that are redy to just pick but it takes alot to get them out so there.
    thanks

  92. My biggest skincare concern now is definitely sun damage. I’m pretty young at 23 and for the most part (other than the stray pimple and uneven skintone), I have pretty nice skin. But 23 long years of playing outside in the surf and sun, (most of the time without sunscreen) has started to take a toll. Of course, I’m the only one who sees, but I’ve noticed very tiny fine lines on my forehead and under my eyes as well as sunspots.

    I’ve never worried before, but I’ve been religiously applying eye cream! Hopefully my good Asian skin genes pull through! =(

  95. My biggest issue? Mysteriously appearing pimples. Seriously, I’m done with puberty, and yet my skin has decided that it is not…

    Reply

  97. My biggest concern is the look of general aging. I used to get away with looking at least 10 years younger than I am — not so much anymore!

    Reply

  98. My biggest concern is that my skin is showing some fine lines but is too oily for a lot of anti-aging products. Great giveaway!

    Reply

  99. My biggest skin concern is acne scars. I’ve never broken out much—except for the spring of my freshman year in college. Unfortunately I developed acne scars from that period of time and have never been able to get rid of them. I also still have occasional acne and semi-oily skin in the summer, but those are more fixable problems.

    Reply

  101. My biggest concern right now is my dry skin. It’s so hard to find a moisturizer that will balance it out without giving me breakouts! My concern for the near future is of course aging and fine lines!!

    Reply

  106. I am having some serious issues with the sun and my skin right now, and my pores are all over the place. I would love to win this product! Thanks for the great giveaway!

    Reply

  107. My biggest concern is pore size — how can I shrink those suckers?? When my skin gets oily, they look even bigger. I am definately looking for some good pore reducing products as well as oil control products (I am still dealing with this stuff even though I am mid 30’s, grrrr)

    Reply

  113. My biggest concern is acne mixed with dryness. I stopped having them for a few years already, but then upon returning to Oz after travelling for 6 months, it’s just gone crazy! Nowadays it seems like I can’t find a moisturiser that works well with my skin, coz it’s either not hydrating enough or it leaves my skin oily and breaks me out. 🙁

    Reply

  114. Sun protection/damage! I’ve got the whole scottish-and-irish-ancestral-complexion thing going on, complete with mad freckles, a high resistance to sunscreen (I couldn’t find a single brand which would last more than thirty minutes last summer, plus I hate how greasy they all leave me), and the utter inability to tan, and it’s starting to show (when I’m only 23!). I’m not about to give up on the great outdoors, so I just have to figure out how to take the best care of my skin possible.

    I could also use an awesome non-greasy moisterizer.

    Reply

  117. My biggest skincare problem is….being 38. Gettin’ old is costly. But I take great care of my skin. I just wish it cost as much as my plain old noxema cream used to cost. HAHAHAHA

    Reply

  119. I’m scared as hell about getting more lines under my eyes. I’m in my early teens are I already have the first signs of eye wrinkles! Boo!
    I’m also looking to banish my large, rough pores on the sides of my nose and inner lower forehead (the area just above the space in between my brows).

    Reply

  120. My biggest skincare concern is balancing combination skin – dry areas vs. oily areas. As well as maintaining the youthfulness of my skin.

    Reply

  121. My biggest problems are these little bumps on my forehead! I’m going to say it’s a form of acne even though the bumps are flesh color and aren’t puss-filled… Too much information? well, i’ve been fighting these little boogers for YEARS

    Reply

  122. My biggest concern (among the many!), as I am getting older, is the sagging in my jawline and that my eyelids have started to “hood”. The “hooding’ is particularly depressing as my eyes have always been my best feature. I am constantly trying new eye creams, looking for one that will actually help with this problem, but I do not have the money available to try the more advanced formulas, like Dr. Perricone. I have often wished that I could afford to try his products, as all the reviews that I have read make it sound like these products might really help. Thank you, Karen, for offering the chance to win them!

  124. I just had my daughter Layla, and my skin is CRAZY now! Blackheads and dry skin everywhere! That is my biggest skin concern-blackheads and dryness. I assume I have this problem because I never take the time to care for my skin..

  131. My biggest concern, or concerns rather, are the dark circles under my eyes. Nothing seems to be able to get rid of them! My skin is rather dull too, though that can be helped (but not cured! 🙁 ) with makeup.

    Reply

  135. My skin problem is similar to a lot of other people here. Adult acne! My skin wasn’t too bad in high school, but in the last couple years (I’m 22) my face has gotten super-sensitive, dry while still oily, with zits! I can’t figure it out! Last summer I started an acne line (and it worked!) but when I run out I have to stop using it because it is so drying and irritates my skin a little. And now I’m concerned about aging. Ugh! To all you out there with effortlessly beautiful skin: Be thankful! You have it so good!

    Reply

  136. My biggest skincare concern is that I have combination skin. It’s so hard to deal with because some areas are dry and others are oily. No fun!

    Reply

  139. I wish, really wish I didn’t have horrible bags and fine lines underneath my eyes! I get 7-8 hours of sleep every night and drink loads of water! It’s just not fair, help me!

    Reply

  140. My biggest skin care concern is the fact that I have extremely sensitive skin! It’s hard for me to use most every skin care product…I hope Perricone has some sensitive skin solutions! Thanks for the give away!

  150. My biggest concerns are breakouts, dryness around my eye area, and (this one might sound a little weird) dryness on my neck. My neck is hella dry sometimes even though my face is super oily. Weird.

  166. My biggest dilemma are the small raised bumps that surround chin on both sides of the mouth area and the same bumps that surround both sides of my nose. I have tried everything to rid myself of these crazy things. When I look in the mirror, I just cringe. Please help me Dr. P with some of your magic!

    Reply

  168. Probably my number one concern is my dry eye area….I want it moisturized and firm. I’ve been looking at these 2 products online (great reviews). I know my face and my eye area would look A LOT better if I used them. Firm glowing skin sounds nice! Thanks :o)

  178. Concern? More like concerns! Even though I am 23, I have fine lines on my forehead. In fact, I have had them since I was 18 or so. I’d love to minimize them or at least make it so they don’t get worse using topicals. Other than that, I deal with breakouts sometimes.

  185. My biggest skin concern is finding a good daytime moisturizer with UVA/B protection. I’m super worried about wrinkles, so I figure this is the best way to prevent them, but it’s been a hard search. Everything I’ve tried so far is either too drying, breaks me out, feels like there’s goop on my face, or makes me look ashy, and to top it off I seem to have reactions to some sunscreens. Who knew that finding such a basic product could be so hard.
