Product Description
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 — how to treat itand how to prevent it. The Acne Prescription
Long recognized as a pioneer in reversing skin damage caused by aging, board-certified dermatologist and #1 bestselling author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., now turns his knowledge and expertise toward acne. Although usually considered an unavoidable problem limited to the teenage years, in reality, millions of people suffer from this inflammatory disease well into middle age. In fact, half of the acne patients in Dr. Perricone’s fifteen-year practice suffered from adult-onset acne.
With The Acne Prescription, Dr. Perricone finally delivers the solutions acne sufferers have been waiting for. A complete program that incorporates Dr. Perricone’s trademark three-tiered approach — antiinflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough anti-inflammatory topical applications — The Acne Prescription will help clear your skin in a matter of days. And, Dr. Perricone will tell you what to do to treat the pitting and scarring that often affect adult acne sufferers.
Like the runaway #1 bestseller The Perricone Prescription, The Acne Prescription will feature dramatic before-and-after color photos, rock-solid scientific background explication, and a day-by-day program of meals and exercise. And, although physicians have long told patients that diet plays no role in acne, Dr. Perricone’s breakthrough research dispels this and other common 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 look within three days. You will look and feel better than you ever thought possible. Good health and clear, radiant, beautiful skin — an unbeatable combination!
Amazon.com Review
Acne: it’s not just for teens anymore. Thanks to changing hormone levels, many women in their 30s and 40s (and some men as well) can expect to regain a part of youth they really didn’t miss. It’s not the curfew—-it’s the problem skin. Early on in The Acne Prescription, Dr. Perricone (The Perricone Prescription) repeatedly emphasizes that half his patients are adult women. And really, this book seems written specifically for them. He refers to acne as a systemic inflammatory disease. His three-part program aimed at reducing inflammation emphasizes widespread dietary changes generally based on the glycemic index of foods, taking a variety of supplements, and using specific topical applications. The diet features plenty of water, several servings of salmon each week, and lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. An extremely detailed guide to supplements offers an excellent education, and an illustrated yoga course provides a method of relaxation and gentle exercise. Few of the recipes from an extensive section are geared for novice cooks (almond flour pancakes with mixed berry compote, for example). If you’re interested in curing acne problems from the inside out and are willing to make substantial lifestyle choices, you’ll find this an excellent learning tool; in other instances, it may seem simply overwhelming. –Jill Lightner

Nothing to add besides save yourself the time and money. I was only 5 mins into the first cd when I decided to stop right there. (…)

What a scam. While some of the principles in this book are based on truth, it is scandalous that a doctor would abuse his role in order to make a profit. Most of the strategies he claims will give miraculous results are truly just a waste of money with a tiny grain of truth at the center. While it’s true one should get enough vitamins (centrum will do just fine) and use good products to care for skin (drugstore ones are generally just as effective, and in this case more-so), using his products & strategies can only help you by convincing you to do what you already know you should – keep your face & body clean & healthy. His brand line is a waste of money & does not even reach the status of “ordinary”.

I expected to find some product placement (and there was), but had no idea that most of the book would be Dr. Perricone bragging about how much smarter he is than all other scientists and doctors and taking credit for other peoples’ work! There were also a lot of technical mistakes that I found (as a medical student) that make me wonder if he even understands the science that he claims to have discovered. To top it all off, I received some of his products as a gift and they were terrible. If you are interested in MD-formulated products, try MD skincare or Murad, both actually work (and, though I haven’t read their books, they can’t be worse).

This book is not very comprehensive. I’ve read many books about acne and this book’s description about acne is the least clear. In addition, the author uses many medical term so it’s a little bit difficult for the lay people to grasp the meaning. However the book did help me by providing many facts that other acne books do not mention. The thing that annoys me the most is the commercial aspect of this book. I feel that the author is trying to build a fortune by suggesting readers to buy his products.
