Although most people might know Perricone MD as a brand that produces holistic anti-aging skincare products, the brand also has a super greens formula. The Perricone MD Super Greens formula is a popular superfoods formula<\/strong>, especially as it\u2019s classed as an essential step in the Perricone MD three tier philosophy of health – more on this later!<\/p>\n The formula contains a wide range of greens, specifically greens that are packed with antioxidants, as well as herbal extracts and probiotics. <\/p>\n Perricone MD claims that the ingredients within the formula will not only benefit overall wellbeing, but also support the digestive system, provide antioxidant protection, and improve the appearance of the skin, hair, and nails.<\/p>\n It\u2019s clear that the brand is choosing to prioritize the aesthetic and cosmetic benefits that consumers can receive from consuming super greens<\/a>, so it\u2019s interesting to see this approach being taken.<\/p>\n I\u2019m really eager to take a closer look at the Perricone MD Super Greens formula to see if it will actually provide consumers with the benefits the brand claims it will, and to see if a cosmetics brand can actually produce a super greens formula as well as supplement brands can.<\/p>\n So, if you\u2019re also keen to take a look at the formula in more detail, take a look at my full Perricone MD Super Greens review below.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n I tried over 40 brands: check out my round-up of the best super greens powders<\/a>!)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n As soon as I click onto the Perricone MD website the impression I get is that the brand is a cosmetics brand targeted towards women, and I suppose really, it is! So, they\u2019ve hit the nail on the head here if I was a woman looking for an eye cream or a brightening serum. <\/p>\n However, as someone looking for a super greens supplement, I\u2019m not intrigued by the website and it doesn\u2019t feel as if the brand would actually know about nutrition or supplements. So, straight away, I feel like I would choose an actual supplement brand over a cosmetics brand that makes supplements.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, looking at the Super Greens formula, there\u2019s a lot of information about what the formula can do for you as a potential customer, and the branding of the formula is pleasant. However, I would like to see more information about who the formula is suitable for, as there\u2019s no information about whether it\u2019s vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, etc!<\/p>\n So far, I\u2019m not overly impressed by the Perricone MD Super Greens formula, and I\u2019m hoping that when I look at the ingredients list, it\u2019s actually all about nutrition and not about aesthetics. <\/p>\n Other Greens powders I have reviewed you may be interested in:<\/p>\n Dr. Nicholas Perricone, world-renowned author, and certified dermatologist started Perricone MD (known in 1997 as Clinical Creations) in 1997. The brand produced and still produces skincare products and supplements that treat, or attempt to treat, the aging process.<\/p>\n Every product produced by the brand is supposed to benefit the consumer from the inside out, and be part of the \u2018three-tier philosophy\u2019. The three-tier philosophy is the brand\u2019s philosophy of young-looking, healthy skin and it consists of a healthy diet, nutritional supplements, and topical skincare. <\/p>\n Perricone MD mainly produces cosmetic products, however, there are 7 different types of supplements available on their website, including fish oil, superfruit formula, and weight management capsules.<\/p>\n As of September 2020, Perricone MD has been bought by The Hut Group, so there might be some new changes coming soon!<\/p>\n The brand is very straightforward when it comes to talking about the benefits that the Super Greens formula will provide the consumer, which I do appreciate – who doesn\u2019t want to see a simple, concise list of benefits that formula will provide?!<\/p>\n The brand claims that the Super Greens formula will help nourish the body and increase the overall wellbeing, provide powerful antioxidants (therefore protecting cells from radical damage and pushing toxins from the body), promote healthy hair, skin, and nails, boost the immune system and support the digestive system.<\/p>\n Although I would say that if the ingredients within the formula are sufficiently dosed there would be more benefits, there\u2019s still quite a wide range of health benefits that the brand claims the formula will provide which is good to see.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Perricone MD Super Greens formula contains over 30 ingredients, including flavoring ingredients. Unfortunately, the formula is up of proprietary blends, so all of the ingredients exist within a blend and the amount of each ingredient, therefore, isn\u2019t shown.<\/p>\n However, I\u2019ll be taking a look at the efficacy of the ingredients within the formula more closely later on in the review.<\/p>\n Here is the supplement facts label:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Super Greens formula has a lot of flavoring ingredients, including apple fruit powder, so there\u2019s no surprise that this is what the formula tastes like. <\/p>\n Although you do get hints of the super greens ingredients, it isn\u2019t overpowering and most people really like the taste of the formula, even when it\u2019s just mixed with water.<\/p>\n Check out my round-up of best tasting super greens here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n Although there aren\u2019t any side effect warnings on the Perricone MD website, the brand does have a California Prop 65 warning against it, meaning that it could contain ingredients that cause cancer, reproductive harm, or birth defects.<\/p>\n Obviously, this is slightly worrying! However, the brand hasn\u2019t commented on it.<\/p>\n As I will always recommend, if you\u2019re under 18 years old, pregnant (especially in this case), breastfeeding (ditto), on medication or you have a medical condition, you should check with your doctor before consuming any new supplement. <\/p>\n I\u2019m very skeptical over whether the Perricone MD Super Greens formula will actually work. <\/p>\n Firstly, the proprietary blends within the formula only make up 1.6g of the serving size (5.5g individual packets of formula), so does that mean that the other 3.9g is made up of the flavoring ingredients?<\/p>\n Also, looking at the greens blend, it\u2019s clear that most of the ingredients aren\u2019t sufficiently dosed. <\/p>\n For example, the recommended daily dose of spirulina is between 1-3g<\/a>, the recommended daily dose of wheatgrass is 3-5g<\/a>, and the recommended daily dose of chlorella is 2-5g. <\/em><\/p>\n So, it\u2019s impossible for these ingredients to be sufficiently dosed in a 1.1g blend. <\/p>\n The formula is nowhere near as nutrient-dense as the brand makes out, especially because most of the formula is made up of flavoring and filler ingredients.<\/p>\nPerricone MD Super Greens First Impressions<\/h2>\n
