This book is a little bit weird and a little bit intoxicating. There are parts of it that sound really amazing, like the trials Perricone did with the creams that shrunk pores and gave people porcelain skin. there are also parts that seem totally bogus, like when he says that he feels vegetarians age faster than non-vegetarians. What? Also, his diet doesn't seem to include any whole grains, except for oatmeal. that's kind of weird. It's also a little hokey when he says "we'll be sure t...more
Love this book! Clearly (with a little science flavor) explains which ingredients are useful in cosmeceuticals (because now I'm old enough to really care). Now I know what to shop for, what to use, and most importantly what is worth paying for. Maybe I will give a copy to every girlfriend who turns 30.
I am a Perricone junkie, and now that he has his his new book (which we now have, btw) "7 Secrets To Beauty, Health and Longevity" which I will be researching and using for our own family this year, I am even MORE excited about his product line.
New Years' resolution, btw....

This is an informative read for anyone interested in taking better care of themselves. Dr. Perricone's whole concept is that taking certain vitamins and supplements, eating foods that get you the most vitamins and following a proper skin care plan, will help you fight signs of aging. The best part is he explains exactly what Vitamin C, or Alpha Lipioc Acid, or Selenium, etc. does for your body. I've always known I should take my vitamins, but understanding what each one does, makes me much more ...more
A great resource guide for the 40+ age group. Includes information on vitamins, diet & skin products that will promote good health and youthful appearance.
Perricone is a dermatologist who has researched extensively the behavior of our skin. It was a fascinating read - should have read it 40 years ago!
I don't think it's that well written, per se, but the information is fascinating (and supposedly, greatly supported by real scientific research).
Dr. Perricone is a skin genius. What I learned from this book is how to look at least 10 years younger than I am - and in this book, unlike his other books, he gives you enough information to be able to do it without spending a gazillion dollars on his own brand of "cosmeceuticals" -- which are quite expensive. I have no doubt if I wanted to spend a ton of money on his neuro-peptide line of products, I could probably have even greater results, but they are just awfully expensive and ...more
The science behind Dr. Perricone's amazing skincare business. He is ahead of his time!
Some technical language but overall a very approachable guide to some of the most important nutritional supplements available for skin care and beauty. Solid dietary advice, as well. But remember: you don't have to buy his skin care line. These supplements are readily available in any nutrition store, and if these supplements are taken internally, a simple cleanser and moisturizer are all one will need for topical use. I recommend Aubrey Organics or Alba as good, gentle, natural brands witho...more
My teacher in esthetics school recommended this and said every esthetician should have it on their shelf. However. a couple of caveats about the info...first, his theory on Vitamin C penetration may be biased towards his own skin care line, and secondly DMAE complex may not be as fabulous as it sounds. I have heard there is new info coming out on it and to stay tuned. Overall it is a great book though.
This had some interesting information about skincare, but then suggested that you buy products that are around $100 an ounce. Not too realistic for some of us.
great information on skin and body health.
