After reading Dr. NV Perricone’s book for the second time “The Wrinkle Cure”, I’ve decided that I would buy a lot of the supplements he recommends for anti inflammation and anti aging, both for the skin and overall health since the supplements are designed for cell protection. 

This means that they are supposed to protect the cells from free radical damage at both the entrance of the cell (the membrane), and on the inside of the cell.  Because they protect these cells from free radical damage, he concludes that this will help your skin look younger and more radiant, and stave off future wrinkles. 

Dr. Perricone does sell his own line of natural topical anti aging and wrinkles creams as well as natural skin care products designed to help fight rosacea and acne, but they do cost quite a bit and are a small investment for your skin, so I decided to go online and try to find comparable supplements with simliar ratios of the vitamins and compounds he suggests, such as DMAE, a substance found in the skin of fish, Alpha Lipoic acid, an antioxidant, and Vitamin C Ester, a form of vitamin C that is supposed to absorb better and be more stable than regular ascorbic acid.

I also purchased a natural anti aging serum with similar ingredients as well, for topical use, so I’m hoping that my little experiment will result in better looking, less wrinkles and more radiant skin within about one month of use, since it is a fairly intense regimen.  I will report the results back to you.  Dr. Perricone’s products are excellent though, I can say that. 

I purchased one of his starter kits a few years ago, and the product’s abilities to absorb into the skin are really good, plus they seem as though they are pure and do make your skin look better, but I figured buying all the products he recommends separately through his website, in his brand, would end up costing me a small fortune, so I insstead decided to go with reputable brand names that are different.  We’ll see if the results are worth it!
