Summary: I wasted my money
Review: I bought the book, tried the diet (I did eat some carrots...), and bought the products. Not only did I not receive any positive results, instead my skin broke out. I would be very wary on wasting money on this book or the products hyped in the book.

Summary: Very Impressive Information
Review: I saw Dr. Perricone on PBS a few weeks ago and was so impressed by his lecture. I ordered the book, read it ASAP, and decided to try his 3 day diet. Was I ever surprised! It was a huge change for me, but I felt so great after the 2nd day. It made me take a hard look at my eating habits. I also ordered a sampling of his products and have been using them faithfully for a week. I like them, though they are pricey. I also decided to follow his advice about reading Dr. Sears "Enter the Zone". GREAT book as well. I have since ordered (from a different source) his suggested vitamin plan and can't wait to begin. He's so inspiring! I would recommend the Wrinkle Cure any day.

Summary: The Wrinkle Cure by Nicholas Perricone
Review: I saw Dr. Perricone give a lecture on Public Television. I bought the book because I was so interested in what he had to say about the nutritional aspect of our skin's health. However, Perricone only devoted one chapter of the book to nutrition. The rest of the book talked mostly about topical treatments, case studies, and research. The book has some valuable information in it, but I wouldn't recommend anyone buy it. You'd be better off checking it out at your local public library. Perricone talks a lot about his line of topical treatments which I'm sure work well. However, when I went to his website and saw how expensive they are I was floored! I will use the nutritional information in the book but i'll stick to my [topical treatments].

Summary: Is there anything lower than one star?
Review: I bought the books and his products - we are talking a lot of money here - and tried the diet. My skin broke out from the products. I have to admit that I did eat some carrots (not a good thing). Maybe that's what created a problem for several hundreds of dollars worth of products. To put it mildy, I did not see any positive change in my skin. I did see a negative change to my pocket book.Save your money !!!!

Summary: Hopefully a true breakthrough!
Review: I'm counting on Dr. Perricone's facts to be really facts! I loved the book. Having some science background, it was an easy read. He explains wrinkle damage at the cellular level and gives a holistic approach to prevent and reverse skin damage. I'm not an eager dieter, but I was sold on the topical skin treatments. DMAE and Vitamin C ester seem to work on my skin.I see a slight wrinkle improvement so far.(using products for 3 weeks)However, I was disappointed at the prices. Small jars and viles, big money! Hopefully they'll be well worth it. I have faith in the program and anything based on scientific facts and knowledge is good for me.

Summary: irritated to have spent money on this book...
Review: This book may have some helpful (albeit obvious) suggestions, however I found myself becoming more and more irritated with every page I read...This book seems like a 200 page advertisement for Dr. Perricone's products...

Summary: Excellent Advice and Information
Review: This was an excellent read explaining how wrinkles come about with age and how stres, cigarettes, and too much sun contribute. The problem appears to be free radicals. It's interesting that in another disease, Alzheimer's, I read in another excellent and highly recommended book called "Decoding Darkness" by Rudolph E. Tanzi and Ann B. Parson, that free radicals also appear to be the main culprit!

Summary: There's one born every minute
Review: As a dermatologic surgeon I found this book to be essentially totally ludicrous. The facts and theories presented are false and unpersuasive.
This book and its suggested products and cures are based on myths, presented as facts to make the cash register ring.
If you believe everything in this book, please contact me.
There's a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to show you.

Summary: It didn't work for me
Review: This book would be more convincing if there were before and after pictures. I tried his top two recommended products and didn't notice any difference in my skin after 6 months, so have switched back to a less expensive cream. His advice certainly isn't bad as to diet, vitamins and drinking lots of water but I don't think his products produce results anywhere near those of a chemical peel or laser treatment as he implies they do. Dr. Perricone is one very enterprising dermatologist!

Summary: Buy this FIRST if you are considering plastic surgery...
Review: If you are considering plastic surgery, you need to get this book first. WHY? Well, for one thing, the price is a bargain compared to surgery, even when you throw in the often costly cosmetic and vitamins the author recommends. And if, like me, you see a NOTICABLE difference in your skin, you may realize that plastic surgery can be put off for awhile...maybe even forever. This author has the credentials to back up everything he says and a list of celebrity clients with glowing skin that bear witness to his results.
Although I was initially skeptical, I can say that finally, finally, I found something that gets results. The suggestions listed here work - and even better, they work even if you don't follow EVERY single step. Drink more water, take the vitamins, use the products and you'll see a difference. Do more and I assume the results will be better.
But even if you don't see a remarkable difference in your skin (although I think you will) in a few days or, at most, a few weeks...and decide you still want plastic surgery, you should still have this book. Why? Because you will be going into the operation with the BEST skin of your life and be prepared to have the BEST results. So,either way, this book is a must-have.
