Amazon.co.uk Review
Nicholas Perricone, in the opening chapters of The Wrinkle Cure, 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 emphasises 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 and online. Perricone's tie-in with his personal line of "cosmeceuticals" makes the book feel a little self-serving but most of his advice is based on solid research and common sense, which gives this celebrity doctor much credibility. --Gail Hudson

Highly Recommended - It Works! March 4, 2004
35 out of 35 found this review helpful
An easy to read, in simple terms, about the cause of poor skin condition and what to eat to improve it. Not only did my skin look and feel brtter within two weeks, I lost weight fairly quickly, about 5 kg in a month - I had gained weight with unhealthy eating! Now I have returned to my "normal" weight, I feel better, have more energy and skin feels smoother. The diet is fairly straight forward and sensible. I don't know if related to the authors diet, but, I suffer less headaches and flushes - Is there a connection? Well recommended.

This book has all the info for those among us who don't want a facelift, but hope to help keep the skin looking as young as possible in a healthy way. It's written in very easy reading style and once you start you don't want to put it down until you've reached the end. My skin's certainly looking better these days having followed Perricone's tips.
THE MIDDLE YOUTH BIBLE September 4, 2002

Essential reading for anyone considering procedures of any kind to beat the drum of youth again. The bad news for those of us sinful fools who smoke and drink relentlessly is what we have already known: it's time to kick them out and get on the cantaloupe track. I'm not sure how many people could make the changes required but if Prescriptives and prayer have failed you then this is the answer.

This book reveals the secrets behind Dr Pericones revolutionary wrinkle-defeating programme. He clearly explains how natural supplements, taken both orally and applied topically, have been proven to limit the damage caused by free radicals, helping skin to stay moist and minimize wrinkles. In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Perricone outlines his specific formula of elements - all available at health-food stores - and explains exactly how to combine them in a series of steps towards more youthful, healthy, wrinkle-resistant skin! Fab!
