Perricone MD Hypoallergenic Nourishing Moisturiser & Firming Eye Cream

Perricone MD is a skin care line created by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, MD. The focus of the brand is to attain optimum skin health through the advocacy of good anti-inflammatory diet, vitamin/mineral supplements and a skincare regime that uses clinically effective products.
Dr. Perricone has also written a number of  skin care books which gives extra credibility to the line.

I was pleased to see that the brand now offer a Hypoallergenic Collection, for those of us with sensitive skin.

The Nourishing Moisturiser (£59.50) looks thick in texture and feels really creamy, however it absorbs well and I do not feel like I have a film left on the skin, nor look shiny. I think this is best for those with a dryer skin type. I was very pleased that it didn't cause my sensitive/acne prone skin any problems. Make up applies well over it and I do feel like its made my skin more supple and my skin feels comfortable and hydrated. The only thing I would have preferred is if it came in a pump container.

The Hypoallergenic Firming Eye Cream (£50) is a gem, it has a lovely creamy but not too thick consistency, it really softens fine lines and combats any dryness, leaving the skin soft and looking more smooth.

I like the idea behind the brand of working on both the inside and out, It makes sense that lifestyle/diet should play such an important part to the skin rather than just the products. It comes across as a well thought out, intelligent range and I was really impressed that the products delivered results I could see and feel.

The brand is readily available online/instore (such as Sephora and Selfridges) and they also have their own website and also international ones (the UK one is http://www.perriconemd.co.uk/)
