Book Reviews of The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin
Book Review: Skin Rejuvenation
Summary: 5 Stars
Over the years I've read most of Dr. Perricone's amazing books. He really is ahead of his time and "The Wrinkle Cure" was his first book so I thought I'd read it too. While some of the information in this book appears in his more recent books it is still helpful and provides excellent information on skin rejuvenation at the most basic level.
If you have crow's feet, upper lip lines, dark under-eye shadows, jowls, sagging skin, enlarged pores, acne scars or dull skin then this tiny book can show you the way to radiant youthful skin. This book is still relevant almost ten years after it was first published. Dr. Perricone sees wrinkled skin as a disease you can fight and gives you the knowledge you need to combat aging skin.
"The Wrinkle Cure" also explains the biology behind Dr. Perricone's beliefs. He explains how wrinkles actually form and explains the topic of free radicals especially well. It is helpful to also know that skin creams with collagen in them are ineffective because the collagen molecule is too large to penetrate the skin.
This book discusses the importance of alpha lipoic acid, DMAE, hyaluronic acid, Coenzyme Q 10 and Pycnogenol. It also talks about how vitamin C ester boosts collegen production. Along the way you will also discover the secret of Cleopatra's milk baths and why sugar accelerates the aging process. Unlike most doctors Dr. Perricone is in favor of daily supplements.
If you really want to see improvements in your skin's health then I can recommend this book highly. I've been following Dr. Perricone's advice for years and have noticed my skin is clearer, wrinkle-free and more radiant.

P.S. If you find Dr. Perricone's products a little expensive (I have yet to try his cosmeceuticals due to price - Perricone MD Neuropeptide Facial Conformer 2oz/59ml - Brand New Tester $420), try
Derma e Retexturizing Creme, DMAE- Alpha Lipoic - C-Ester, 2 oz (56 g) (Pack of 2) and Derma E - Pycnogenol Eye Gel, .5 oz gel. The DMAE cream and eye gel have most of the recommended items Dr. Perricone talks about in this book.

Summary of The Wrinkle Cure: Unlock the Power of Cosmeceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin
Dr. Perricone's #1 "New York Times" bestselling guide to a better, healthier complexion offers a revolutionary, all-natural, antioxidant program that revitalizes the skin at any age, from the outside and inside. Reissue."Plastic surgery isn't the only way to keep the aging process at bay. With the proper care you can have fabulous skin in your forties, fifties, sixties and beyond," promises author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine. In his opening chapters, Perricone explains why skin wrinkles and sags--a combination of factors including the passage of time, stress, poor nutrition, excess alcohol consumption, sleep deprivation, and exposure to cigarette smoke, sunlight, and pollution. Ultimately, however, it all boils down to damage caused by those renegade free radicals.
The bulk of his book is then devoted to a clearly presented skin care regimen that involves oral and topical antioxidant therapy. On the oral front, he emphasizes eating antioxidant foods, such as cantaloupe and dark green leafy vegetables, and avoiding "bad carbohydrates" (high in the glycemic index) such as pasta, sugar, and pancakes. And if you want to look good for a big event within a few days he suggests eating "fish, fish and more fish."
On the topical level, he recommends nutritional skin products such as his DMAE (dimethylaminoethanol) cream ("an instant anti-aging face-lift"), a product that can only be purchased at specific places, such as selected Nordstrom stores or www.Sephora.com. Perricone's tie-in with his personal line of "cosmeceuticals" makes the book feel a tad self-serving. (He even includes an index of where to buy his products.) However, most of his advice is based on solid research and common sense, which gives this celebrity doctor credibility as well as a huge following. --Gail Hudson
