From the #1 New YorkTimes-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 -- and how to prevent it.
Long recognized as a pioneer in reversing skin damage caused by aging, board-certified dermatologist and #1 New YorkTimes-bestselling author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., now turns his knowledge and experience toward acne. Although often thought of as an unavoidable teenage problem, in reality millions of adults suffer from this inflammatory disease well into middle age.
The Clear Skin Prescription delivers a complete program that incorporates Dr. Perricone's trademark three-tiered approach (anti-inflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough topical applications) that will help you clear your skin in a matter of days. Not only will you see impossible-to-ignore improvement in your skin, but the program will also help improve your body's overall health and appearance.
Like the #1 bestseller The Perricone Prescription, The Clear Skin Prescription features dramatic before-and-after photos, rock-solid scientific background, and a day-by-day program of meals and exercise. And, Dr. Perricone dispels common medical 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, clearer complexion within three days -- to look and feel better than you ever thought possible.

Great diet plan and info, expensive supplements/creams/recipes:
I read this book when I was 22 years old, and it really opened my eyes to how much your diet effects your skin! I had used Accutane about 3 years earlier, and that cleared up the big, cystic acne I had gotten frequently since early adolescence. But I still got plenty of surface breakouts, and my skin was rather dull, even though parts of it was oily.

Interesting Idea - will cause OCD:
For someone already obsessed with their complexion, finding ways to control their life through a complete change of diet is probably not the healthiest method.

Amazing!!!:
After seeing a dermatologist, an allergist, and two estheticians for my "adult onset acne" and spending way too much money but getting no results, I bought this book. The three day plan noticeably cleared up my skin and I'm continuing with a modified version with fantastic results. I'm a believer in the diet-skin connection and so happy I purchased this book! Plus, I'm feeling healthier and more confident, all the way around. :)
This program plus microdermx worked:
I used to have acne scars, zits and skin that was showing signs of aging. I used the perricone program for a while and did like have some positive results. But then after hearing about Microdermx on beauty forums, I tried it and the Microdermx has completely changed my bad skin into skin that I looks beautiful to me. I have about 85% less acne scars, no acne, and my skin is firmer with a glow. The price is better too than say Dr. Brandts.
