Summary: Good overall - title will sell, but could be better named
Review: PBS ran a NV Perricone speaing to Yale special, and it captured my attention because he was saying the reason we are tired all the time (and I had been having a lot of trouble with this recently) is diet/inflammation. My ears perked right up and, like the hostess who interviewed him at the breaks, I tried his 3-day diet and found such a tremendous difference in my energy level I had to have the book to get more. For the basic information, including the 3-day diet and overall eating plan, you can visit his web site (do a search for N V Perricone or The Wrinkle Cure). The book is good to have as a reference. In real-life, he is pretty nearly the lone source for much of what he recommends, and his prices are high, but it's definitely a boon to tired boomers!

Summary: Perricone deserves a Nobel Prize for his research!
Review: The day after I finished the book I ran out and got a sample of the eye cream. I used it on my entire face that evening and couldn't believe how much better my skin looked in the morning. The redness from previous irritation was gone and my face practically glowed.Yes, his products are not cheap, but compare them to the other products on the market that don't even do anything but moisturize!! He deserves to be a billionaire for coming up with this information and formulating products that WORK. Get the book. Buy the products!

Summary: Almost Accurate
Review: I just finished Dr. Perricone's book, "The Wrinkle Cure." I must say, I was impressed with his research on Vitamin C Ester, DMAE, etc. Also, I just bought the Alpha Lipoic Cleanser, Vitamin C Splash, and Finishing Moisturizer ([price] later - ouch) and have been using them for 4 days now. The cleanser & moisturizer are very good but the Vitamin C Splash burns - it contains alcohol. I haven't seen any results yet but I'm giving it some time. My main problem with this book is the diet section. I am a registered dietitian, and the recommendation for 60-80 grams of carbohydates per day is ridiculous. For those not familiar with adding up carbs, this amounts to about 1 "human-sized" bowl of cereal and maybe 2 slices of bread for THE WHOLE DAY. Some people might be able to get by on this amount but if you're the least bit active, this is nowhere near enough. In his defense, the recommendations for increased vegetables & fish is a good idea, not only for the skin, but for the whole body. Overall, I do recommend this book - just be skeptical of the recommendation on carbs.

Summary: Amazing results
Review: After seeing Dr. Perricone on PBS I got his book from the library. Being an advocate of anitoxidants already, I found his logic convincing. I ordered his products (a bit pricey)and was astounded by the results. Within three weeks I had people stopping me in the hallways at work asking what I'd done to look so good (vacation? new lover? etc.). I've been using them for six weeks now and the results and subsequent reactions of others continue to compound. Wow! I wish I'd had access to them five years ago. Dr. Perricone is my hero!

Summary: this is definitely worth reading!
Review: This is an excellent book, full of information on the latest anti-aging discoveries. Dr. Perricone substantiates each claim that he makes with his research, and it makes a lot of sense. Although he does have his own product line, he recommends many others. I've reseached many websites with his line, and they are very informative and do not try to oversell you at all. I can't wait to try it.

Summary: This Could Be Better Than Prep H.
Review: My mom gave me "The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin" book as a Christmas gift. Mom has beautiful skin, for a woman of...okay I won't say, your secret is safe, Mom. I don't know what my mom was thinking? I'm only 30! On the other hand, I reason that some day I will be 40, or more, so why not prepare now to ward off the dreaded wrinkles. In his book Nicholas Perricone offers us a system. This is a system that, if properly followed, will work. It will work because it makes sense. Diet, exercise, rest, and stress reduction all work in concert to preserve our skin's youthful condition. There are a few side benefits to author Perricone's system as well. One might find that they have developed healthier hair, healthier nails, stronger bones, and a happier attitude. All good reasons to, quit smoking cigarettes or dope, stop drinking alcohol, and stop consuming tons of bon-bons while laying, inactive, and watching your favorite soap opera. A number of flight attendants have told me that Prep. H is effective for wrinkle reduction, especially for "crow's feet". A yeast derivative was the secret, but the FDA made the manufacturer of PH remove it. Now only the Canadian version has the yeast. I think Mr. Perricone's suggestion of taking massive doses of fish, taken several consecutive days before a big social event (why not whale blubber?) will serve the same purpose. (Listen up. The fish is applied via your mouth. The Prep H is applied around your eyes. Don't confuse these techniques. And one never wants to find themselves sitting on a salmon when treating hemorrhoidal symptoms.) Great book. Worth the money. Go get it. It works. Cammy Diaz, lawyer

Summary: Results in one week
Review: After only 7 days on the prescribed eating plan, coworkers were beginning to stare. I lost only 2 lbs. but I looked and felt as if I had lost much more. This eating plan has really made me aware of the damage we Americans do to ourselves by eating so much refined flour and sugar. My energy has soared and I'll never veiw food as just something to eat. Food IS Fuel. [...].

Summary: I learned so much about free radicals
Review: I hadnt known too much about free radicals. I have heard about these but never read about the research results on skin. This book is so easy to read and follow. Dr. Perricone has studied the skin for 20 years. His interrest in the area of skin damage and what exactly it is that strengthens the cell membrane is what sparked my interest. Getting down to the cell plasma membrane and learning about the products that build this part of the cell up is so important to learn about in my line of business.
I will use all the information I learned in this book, particularly about Alphy Hydroxy acids and Vitamin C Ester with my clients.
I have been using a product line called Regeneratiopn Gold and it contains Alphy Hydroxy , and also Cell Block C which contain the Vitamin C ester that is mentioned in this book. I have seen dramatic results in 3 short weeks. Just the other night at a party my friends who I had not seen in a few weeks commented about my skin looking smoother and they said I was glowing.
(wow, and I am not even pregnant...)
I needed a great book to show my clients because seeing is believing. The sales will dramtically increase now because of this book's honesty and proven results after many years of research. My thanks goes to Dr.Perricone for his perserverence in regards to skin care and prevention and regeneration.

Summary: A diet only a cat could like..
Review: Dr. Perricone recommends eating huge amounts of fish, especially salmon. Killer whales in the Pacific Northwest who live on salmon have very high levels of toxics substances in their fat(and very smooth skin). Native Canadians and Americans who eat large amounts of salmon likewise have large amounts of toxic substances in their bodies. Given that the audience for this book is likely rather old, this may not be a problem. Or one could eat farmed salmon. However, young women, especially those considering breast feeding a baby, may want to think twice before following the advice in this book for any extended period of time.
