NEW YORK, Oct. 4, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Perricone MD, renowned for its efficacious anti-inflammatory, anti-aging skincare and supplement range created by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, is proud to announce that its Pre:Empt Oil-Free Hydrating Cream is an Allure "Best of Beauty" Award recipient in the "Best Facial Moisturizer for Oily Skin" category.

Established in 1996 with its signature stamp of approval, the Allure "Best of Beauty" Awards are considered to be the most prestigious and influential distinction in the health and beauty industry. As universally respected authorities in the world of beauty, Allure's editors are recognized for their knowledge, insight and recommendations. Allure researches and tests thousands of products – from mass to prestige, classic to cutting-edge – to identify the best-of-the-best. Each year the award winners represent the most effective and innovative products in the marketplace.

"We are so honored to receive such a prestigious award by an incredibly discerning panel of editors," says Mary van Praag, CEO of Perricone MD. "The Pre:Empt Series has been a true passion project for our Perricone MD team that has allowed the brand to reach a new audience. We are so delighted by the overwhelmingly positive feedback. Promoting healthy living to provide beautiful looking skin is at the core of what we do."

Released in June, the Pre:Empt Series offers an innovative selection of skincare specifically formulated for a new Perricone MD consumer: millennials. The Pre:Empt Series features a patent-pending Nrf2 Antioxidant Support Complex™ that addresses the skin's ability to combat oxidative stress and environmental aggravators, which cause the first signs of aging. "Discovering a new science to specifically address the needs of millennials has been an incredibly rewarding project and I'm thrilled that both consumers and editors have responded so well to the results," says Dr. Nicholas Perricone. "I am so honored that the years of research have resulted in such a high profile award and we will be unveiling more Pre:Empt extensions in the coming year."

The Pre:Empt Oil-Free Hydrating Cream helps to improve the skin's natural surface barrier to preserve youthful-looking, hydrated and conditioned skin in a lightweight oil-free texture that won't clog pores. The product is part of a Series that also includes the Pre:Empt Brightening Eye Cream, Skin Perfecting Serum and Exfoliating Pore Refiner. The Nrf2 Antioxidant Support Complex within the Series is naturally derived from a complex of turmeric, olive leaf, green tea and cress sprouts. The Perricone MD Pre:Empt Oil-Free Hydrating Cream is available for a suggested retail price of $75 at PerriconeMD.com and Sephora.com. The full Pre:Empt Series retails from $60-$90 per product.
