Product Description
"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., assistantclinical professor of dermatology at Yale University School of Medicine. In hisopening chapters, Perricone explains why skin wrinkles and sags--a combinationof factors including the passage of time, stress, poor nutrition, excess alcoholconsumption, sleep deprivation, and exposure to cigarette smoke, sunlight, andpollution. Ultimately, however, it all boils down to damage caused by thoserenegade free radicals.The bulk of his book is then devoted to a clearly presented skin care regimenthat involves oral and topical antioxidant therapy. On the oral front, heemphasizes eating antioxidant foods, such as cantaloupe and dark green leafyvegetables, and avoiding "bad carbohydrates" (high in the glycemic index) suchas pasta, sugar, and pancakes. And if you want to look good for a big eventwithin 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 thatcan only be purchased at specific places, such as selected Nordstrom stores orwww.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 tobuy his products.) However, most of his advice is based on solid research andcommon sense, which gives this celebrity doctor credibility as well as a hugefollowing. --Gail Hudson

"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.

• Easy To Understand And Apply! 21 June, 2008
As a man it is tough to find out about skin care since most of the skin care products are geared towards women. I have been blessed with good skin, but live in Arizona. The sun and dryness are ruthless if one doesn't use the right lotions and take the proper skin care steps.
The Wrinkle Cure is a clear, concise and useful book on how to take care of our skin and turn back the clock. There are great sketches and easy to understand explanations that enhance the material. Dr Perricone taught me a great deal about my skin and how to take care of it even better than I was doing.
Perricone goes into detail about which foods, supplements and vitamins are best for proper skin care and the amounts to be used for various skin conditions. He backs up the information with Case Studies for the reader to understand practical applications.
This is an excellent book for any man or woman one who desires great skin!

• The Supplements And Topicals Work - Try Them! 09 February, 2007
I have never seen Dr. Perricone on either PBS or the Oprah show, nor have I ever read or heard of him before reading this book. The info in the book about free radicals, antioxidants and aging as a form of inflammation intrigued me and so I decided to try the supplements and topical cream for a three month experiment. Well...I don't need 3 months to determine that it's working! I can tell you that improvements in skin tone are almost immediate upon using the topical cream. Trust me, this man knows what he's talking about! I am 46 years old and have a few crow's feet and and the start of other wrinkles, so I have tried numerous skin products - including some of the more popular (and expensive) ones that claim to diminish wrinkles. Some of the products I had used in the past produced minimal positive results, but some were too harsh and caused inflammation around my eyes - leaving the skin looking worse than before. The topicals (ALA, C ester, DMAE) suggested by the author are available in a cream that is very lightweight and non-greasy. I agree with the reviews that state Dr. Perricone's product line is quite pricey. Indeed it is, however similar formulations of the supplements and topicals are available elswhere for considerably less. For instance, RevivaLabs makes an affordable ALA, C ester, DMAE cream that's available on-line or at your local GNC store. Not having the big money to fork over for Dr. Perricone's brand, I decided to try the RevivaLabs version of the ALA, C ester, DMAE cream and went to Jewel-Osco to pick up the supplements. BTW, RevivaLabs' cream does not contain any animal ingredients and RevivaLabs does not use animal testing. :o) If I had the money and lived near Dr. Perricone's practice, I'm sure I'd make an appointment to see him (and possibly purchase the products from him as well)! But it's nice to know that he's willing to share his knowledge for the price of a book!

• Great Book, Buy It Now! 21 March, 2008
What a great book! The suppliments are great and they all make sense. Many people have said they have heard it all before and at the same time call Dr. Perricone a shister of some sort. There are good/bad carbs, right? Vitimin C is good for you, right? (I know some naysayers are screaming, NO!) Look folks, Dr. Perricone can sell the listed suppliments for as much as he wants. I got them all at Wal-Mart for a few bucks a bottle. Use your common sense. If you already know it all, stay away from Amazon because there is obviously nothing you can learn here. If you think this book is worth the few dollars it costs, buy it...unless you know it all of course.

• Skin Rejuvenation 05 June, 2009
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.
If you enjoy this book, here are a few more that are essential reading:

~The Rebecca Review
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.
