Book Reviews of The Clear Skin Prescription: The Perricone Program to Eliminate Problem Skin

Book Review: Great diet plan and info, expensive supplements/creams/recipes
Summary: 4 Stars

I read this book when I was 22 years old, and it really opened my eyes to how much your diet effects your skin! I had used Accutane about 3 years earlier, and that cleared up the big, cystic acne I had gotten frequently since early adolescence. But I still got plenty of surface breakouts, and my skin was rather dull, even though parts of it was oily. I also had a problem with getting HUGE puffy eyes in the morning (even without drinking alcohol, and with getting plenty of sleep).

Basically, I read the book, tried the 3 day diet, and saw an AMAZING transformation in my skin. I didn't have deep wrinkles to eliminate or anything, but the skin around my eyes REALLY started looking beautiful, my cheekbones became accentuated, I was glowing, and I had no breakouts. WOW! It really exceeded my expectations!

I enjoyed reading this book for the scientific background it gives about eliminating the foods from your diet that cause inflammation. (That will also prevent some illnesses!). HOWEVER, I found that the skin care products and supplements Dr. Perricone recommends are very expensive. ALSO, he provides a lot of recipes in this book, but they are all very gourmet and involve expensive, exotic ingredients (not to mention a lot of time). I never made any of the recipes for this reason. Luckily he provides lists of good/bad foods, so I could create my own meals from the lists.

If you want to try the 3-day diet without investing in the book, just google it! The 3-day diet is online! But all the great background for why it works (and which foods to avoid or add to your diet in the long term) is in the book.

Summary of The Clear Skin Prescription: The Perricone Program to Eliminate Problem Skin

From the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Perricone Prescription and The Wrinkle Cure comes a powerful new weapon in the fight for clear and healthy skin. No matter your age, race, or gender, here's everything you need to know about acne -- and how to prevent it.

Long recognized as a pioneer in reversing skin damage caused by aging, board-certified dermatologist and #1 New York Times-bestselling author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., now turns his knowledge and experience toward acne. Although often thought of as an unavoidable teenage problem, in reality millions of adults suffer from this inflammatory disease well into middle age.

The Clear Skin Prescription delivers a complete program that incorporates Dr. Perricone's trademark three-tiered approach (anti-inflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough topical applications) that will help you clear your skin in a matter of days. Not only will you see impossible-to-ignore improvement in your skin, but the program will also help improve your body's overall health and appearance.

Like the #1 bestseller The Perricone Prescription, The Clear Skin Prescription features dramatic before-and-after photos, rock-solid scientific background, and a day-by-day program of meals and exercise. And, Dr. Perricone dispels common medical myths regarding the causes and treatment of acne. By following the Perricone Program of diet, vitamins, topical applications and exercise, you can dramatically reduce the appearance of blemishes and breakouts and achieve a smoother, clearer complexion within three days -- to look and feel better than you ever thought possible.
