An Overview of Forever Young, the

and Perricone Supplements

Most Popular Dr. Perricone Skin Care Books

The "The Perricone Promise", which was written in 2004 focuses on 'neuropeptides' and extensive dieting. In this book he promotes a diet aimed at helping people lose weight, smooth wrinkles, and improve one's mood while decelerating energy. He recommends a serum sold exclusively by his company which costs $570/bottle. This is the most expensive of all his products.

Then of course there is "The Wrinkle Cure". This book is his first (published in 2001) and suggests anti wrinkle products and diet that can slow or reverse the visible signs of aging. He boosts the importance of a diet high in omega 3 fatty acids, lipoic acid, vitamin C and DMAE.

His book, "Forever Young: The Science of Nutrigenomics for Glowing, Wrinkle-Free Skin and Radiant Health at Every Age" which has great reviews discusses how certain super foods (i.e. wild salmon, chia seeds, cocoa) and supplements (i.e.e Vitamin K and D) can "activate age-reversing biological activity".

One of his other books, "Ageless Face, Ageless Mind" provides readers with a three-part plan of attack that includes a nutritional program, targeted supplements, and new topicals.

Opinions About Dr. Perricone Books

There isn't any "real" proof that this works... But, in his defence there isn't really any "real" proof that most any aging products or solutions work.

And though I find that these books offer a great deal of valuable info, it's not really rocket science.

That's not to say that I don't think his books are great - because I do. It's just that his ideas about Anti Aging Foods and Anti Aging Nutrients have become a part our society. They seem to have created the foundation for the 'holisitic' approach to anti-aging and anti-wrinkle. And as far as Anti Aging Supplements go, those too have become quite popular.

For the time being, it seems to me that he's has holistic as an MD can be. And as far as his books are concerned... they make an excellent reference on healthy living for aging adults.

Dr. Perricone Skin Care Products

Since I make my own skin care products I don't usually try store-bought products - especially not exepensive ones.

That being said Dr. Perricone seems like a decent guy with a decent solution. Sure he's worked very hard to make a whole lot of bucks off of his logic, but that isn't to say that his solutions aren't effective. And, he's basically changed the way our society thinks about anti-aging and anti-wrinkle.

Let's explore his skin care products little bit more...

There are a little over 15 products in the Dr. Perricone skin care line for anti-aging. These include neck creams, corrective ointments, and body, face, and eye plasma (aka. 'cream')

It's always encouraging when a Doctor of Dermatology creates a skin care line. And it's even better when that doctor has 10 anti aging books under his belt and creates a whole line of anti-wrinkle products. You can't help but think he knows what he's doing. Therefor it's no surprise that alot of his products get great reviews.

Can it make a 60 year old look and feel 20...sorry ladies, it can't. BUT, it does seem to make people look and feel a heck of a lot more youthful.

Some really great things about Dr. Perricone skin care products are the things that are not part of the formula:

• Parabens
• Sulfates
• Synthetic Fragrances
• Synthetic Dyes
• Phthalates

These are all things that can dry your skin, create long term health problems (i.e. cancer), and effect the overall health of your skin.
