Summary: Easy read, easy to do, and a noticable difference.
Review: This is the first time I've ever been persuaded to alter my diet or to try such costly skin care products. Lack of persistence and consistency is a weakness of mine and the claims sound like implausible hyperbole, until you actually try it.I breezed through the book the first night I bought it, bought two of his products soon thereafter (one product to firm around the eyes and another to firm the face), and didn't bother with the nutritional supplements (I thought the list was too long and there was no way I was going to figure out which ones were more helpful and the right amount of each to take, and when to take them throughout the day). Instead of rigorously following the diet, I just loosely tried to take his advice, drinking more water so I don't dry up and look like a prune, eating more fruit and veggies, eating more fish (especially salmon), and less red meat (though still stopping in McDonalds every now and then). Two weeks later I was out with a fellow I had dated a few times and he said I looked particularly attractive that evening. I told him I had had my teeth whitened. He said, no, it's not that, it's my skin, something is beautiful and different about it, he didn't know what. Then I told him I had been trying something new and that it must work, though he was the first person to say anything. The following weekend, my mother told me I looked nice, contented - perhaps it was something else? Last week I took two days off from work and the first day a guy flirted with me in the bookstore and gave me his business card, then the next day I was hanging out in the park and a guy introduced himself to me and kept hanging around me 'til I made it clear I was going my own way, without him. That kind of attention in two days hadn't happened in a long time. I'm not sure that I see a difference as quickly as 10 minutes, but I would lean toward saying yes, it works quickly. And even if it didn't, it's well worth reading the book and trying some of the recommendations. P.S. Saw the author on public television tonight and he said which 4 supplements are more important to take, so I'll try those soon (vitamins C and E, DMAE, and alpha lipoic acid), though I won't take them on a schedule as he suggested, but will instead be more random, maybe I'll take them all before work.

Summary: I saw this Doctor on Good Morning America!
Review: I saw Dr. Perricone on Good Morning America. Several volunteers agreed to go on his "three day skin diet." They were instructed on which foods were best for healthy skin. They used no special products, just followed the food plan. In three days they returned to the show and their skin was AMAZING. Diminished lines, smoother texture, just younger looking in general. Diane Sawyer said he was a dermatologist from Yale University. With those credentials and the really stunning results I bought the book. I've been following the program and taking some of the nutritional supplements he suggests, and I love the difference in my skin. I highly recommend The Wrinkle Cure.

Summary: Nothing New Here
Review: Mr. Perricone is obviously a very bright man...with a very advanced knowledge of dermatology and I respect his positions in the medical field. Although he's likely a brilliant doctor...all of his skin care products lack the one (and only) thing that can actually assist in the war against wrinkles. It's puzzling that somebody with his background would set out to produce a line of skin care that discludes any kind of sunscreen...even an SPF 5 .... I have 5 of his products....the alpha lipoic lip cream dried up so quick I had to throw it out...even though it was tightly sealed and in a dark place. His moisturizer is very average...and so is the 'eye area therapy'. What works very nicely is the 'face firming activator'....I bought it because my mother who is 70 had such wonderful results... No it didn't remove any wrinkles...(come on people...there is no such creme anywhere in the world) but her skin had a healthy glow and her skin tone looked very even. The Amine complex face lift is not too bad either...but again...these products DO NOT REMOVE WRINKLES. Obviously if such a product existed...no beauty conscious woman would ever wrinkle So...the title of the book is somewhat misleading in that his diet recommendations and products can/are able to ...cure wrinkles. This just isn't so. What is the most truthful and helpful aspect of this book is Mr. Perricone's references of the ZONE diet. I did go on the Zone program for 1 yr..not to lose weight...purely to see if it would give me more energy and if I'd feel 100% better. The results were notably amazing...had the recipes not been so hard to put together ...I'd still be on it today.... My hat's off to you Dr. Sears for your Zone diet. I'm not a doctor...but my energy increased...I had a sense of well being...and if you accompany this way of eating by some exercise...you'll likely improve your health overall.. The book is not going to help cure wrinkles. If that's what your're looking for...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...don't smoke and keep alcohol consumption to an absolute minimum. That's what any good dermatologist will tell you. My mother-in law has stayed out of the sun almost her entire life and her 59 yr old face looks like she's 35.

Summary: Look for less expensive alternatives - at the drug store
Review: I borrowed this book from the library (sorry Amazon). It was a fast read and by luck I had already tried one of the supplements he recommends; Alpha Lipoic Acid (I grabbed the wrong bottle when intending to purchase Acidolphilus). Periodically I would take some trying to use it up. I never made the connection between taking Alpha Lipoic Acid and better looking skin until I read the book. Once I put the two together I thought there may be something to what he said. I started taking the Alpha Lipoic Acid supplements I already had and purchased vitamin C Esther and Coenzyme Q10. Since Perricone advocated using moisturizers that contained these vitamins I popped a coenzyme Q10 capsule and smoothed the contents over my face at night (it makes you look jaundiced). Later I purchased a cream containing these vitamins from the Vitamin Shoppe via Amazon (it cost $14) and I use it at night. During the day I use Nivea's Q10 Plus moisturizer with sunscreen. Have I noticed a difference? A small one, yes. The wrinkles are less deep and less noticeable, though still there. My skin has a healthier appearance - brighter (my skin was looking dull and haggard for awhile). I will keep taking the supplements because I think they make a difference. However, I will purchase them from the drug store where they are affordable and I take one each a day. (I've noticed that putting coenzyme Q10 on a cut makes it heal faster.)

Summary: Don't waste your time
Review: I feel like I just wasted my money on this book. All you need to do is look at the Before and After photos to see this. Oh course my book was sealed in plastic so I didn't realize it until I opened it. The only change in these people (if any) is that they are probably eating a lot better then they ever did. As for removing wrinkles, no way! If you want a book to change your eating habits and to maybe put more of a glow in your skin (that's if your diet really is terrible now) then go ahead and buy it, although there's many better books to teach you how to eat. Join Weight Watchers or just eat the way you should. I think everyone should take vitamins but don't spend a fortune on them. Exercise and take care of yourself and buy a nice fiction book to read!

Summary: I know the DoctorSecret
Review: I finally had enough of my wrinkles and saw the infomercial on PBS. I bought the book and decided to take the plunge. I followed the diet to a "t" and realized it's more about basic health than high priced products. I search online and found a website doctorsecret.com they sell products similar to the ones in the book. I use the book daily for reference. My girlfriend buys only name brand items and has spent tons of cash. We compared the products and they seem to be identical.
Love the book.J

Summary: A poorly written book!
Review: I applauded Dr. Perricone's efforts in writing this book. However, I was shocked to see how poorly the book was written for a person of his educational level, an M.D? Some Page 63 has an incomplete and fragmented sentence. He needed to specify the ranges of the glycemic index. That is, what is low, 55 or less? What is high, 70 and above? I'm also disgusted about his endorsement of certain skin care companies. I would strong recommend the Harvard Medical School Guide to Men's Health instead because it is a well written book. Read pages 99-101 regarding the glycemic index.

Summary: A Wrinkle Cure or Just Good Advice?
Review: Dr. Perricone offers excellent advice in this book on the benefits of healthy eating habits, regular exercise, vitamin use and recommendations for skin care products. I have spoken to other dermatologists and find him to be well regarded in his field by those who know him. I have followed his advise and eliminated most sugar, salt and starch from my diet and have added vitamins and antioxident supplements based on his clear descriptions of the resulting damage to our skin and body from eating foods high in those characteristics. Most important, he scared me into using sun screen every day! However, I believe that the author exagerates as to the benefits of his program. He is generous with extravagent adjectives which, if taken literally, will probably leave the reader disappointed as to the results. Further, I was surprised that he, as a dermatologist, did not advise the reader to try a patch test of new products to test for allergic reactions. I had a bad reaction to one of his recommended products and am more cautious to follow his advise as a result. Overall, a good book, but one to be taken with a large grain of salt.

Summary: WOW, amazing.
Review: I ordered a "personal prescription" from his web site. After explaining my lifestyle and body/skin issues, I received a profile instructing me how to change my diet and lifestyle. For the past 6 days I've followed his advice, but not exactly to the letter (still drinking alcohol, some bread, a bit of ice cream), but have dramatically increased my intake of salmon & other fish, veggies and the canteloupe and berries and nonfat yogurt. In addition, I am taking an all-around antioxidant I found at the health food store (it has almost everything he recommends) - The results are amazing. My puffy, tired, wrinkled face looks dramatically younger and leaner. I think I look healthier and my pores, jaw line, cheek bones all look firmer, tighter. My eyes look bright, lines are not as noticeable and I just look either very well rested, or you could say "younger". Just as wonderful - my clothes have gotten looser, and my husband told me I looked like a kid today!
I thought I hit a wall when I turned 40 a few months ago, but now I know I can reverse the signs of aging. I am going to try his facial products as well.
