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

 • It's A Miracle In My Life!!!!!
12 September, 2006

The plan and systemic treatment that Dr. Perricone has developed works! I wish there was a way I could give testimonials in his behalf on finally proving that acne is systemic. After having a child at 27 years old, my skin totally changed and I became very acne prone. I would suffer from mild to moderate acne at all times. It was very rare that I did not have some form of breakout on my face, neck, back and/or chest. I went to numerous dermatologists and received great treatments. However, nothing worked. I took the antibiotic - Tetracyclin off and on for over 9 years. Since finding this book, I have been eating the foods and taking the supplements that are listed in the book based on my type of acne. I look completely different. I even choose to go without any foundation on my face. His information is great. For the first time in 9 years, I have not taken any antibiotics. IT IS FABULOUS and my skin is radiant. Thank you Dr. Perricone!

 • Good Advice Although A Little Self Promoting
19 March, 2007

This book has really changed the way that I live. Not only has it really improved my overall skin quality, I have more energy and I am more vivacious than ever before! I have struggled with acne since I was about twelve years old. I have tried everything including accutane. It as not until I found this book and began following some of the principals that I really noticed a difference. I will say this, a really do not believe that all the supplements are required for you to reach your optimum skin health. I do fine with my fish oil and ALA ( which I will not buy at the overly inflated perricone web site prices), and watching my high glycemic carbs. I also take DMAE and eat a lot of salmon. Not only has my skin cleared, the entire color of my skin is different. People began to complement me for the first time in my life telling me that I had beautiful skin. In addition to the skin clearing, i also am much more toned and dropped about 10 pounds since the start of the program. The only problem I have with this book is it seems like Dr. Perricone really plugs his products waaaaay to much. The prices on his website are a little crazy for my taste. If you want to really save on your topical supplements go to a website called [...] With the products on this website you can make you own skin care products using cetaphil as a base. They are exactly the same thing.

 • Excellent
05 November, 2006

If you are into health at all, much of this information is obvious. However, some of the more specific information about nutrients, vitamins, foods and quantities are very useful. I found the book helpful and my serious adult acne problem began to lessen after a week or so when topical treatments did little.

 • Impossible Program To Follow Without A Big Budget
03 August, 2007

I think he should rename his book as The Acne Prescription: The Perricone Program for the RICH by Nicholas Perricone. Has he checked the prices of wild salmon and all the berries he recommended lately? They are sky-rocket priced. If I follow his program and buy his over-priced products, I would spend all my paychecks and some loans. I think he should practice his program with limited budget like the rest of us to see if it is realistic or NOT. I think the most effective, economical program is The Acne Cure: The Nonprescription Plan That Shows Dramatic Results in as Little as 24 Hours by Dr. Terry J. Dubrow and Brenda D. Adderly.

 • I Was A Skeptic!!
28 January, 2007

I am 33 mom of 3 and at my wits end with Acne. I had been to a dermatologist again (off and on throughout the years) and been put on topical medications which were not working. I stumbled upon this and CANNOT BELIEVE that after 3 days my acne started clearing up. It has now been 6 days and it is only getting better. I went on the 3 day diet and am now incorporating his ideas into my regular lifestyle. I think I have lost 3 pounds too, but to me the clear skin is the best!! I have been taking a multivitamin, some extra Vitamin A and selenium drinking a lot of green tea, use flax seed on my yogurt and just started taking fish oil too and that has worked for me. If you have acne and really want a solution, I say give it a try...just incorporate what you can into your life and see. p.s. I love!! coffee but am going without except for maybe 1 cup a day.
