If anyone has tried please let me know, I am using The Premier and Dr. Wexler thus far they work. I guess I am wondering if thes products are better for my skin.
About to try Dr. Perricone wrinkle treatment

Hi Vanessa,
I have used many of Perricone's products and found them to be *meh*. Expensive silicone is my impression. You can find them @ TJMaxx occasionally at a big markdown. The Active Tinted Moisturizer was a real disappointment....active, HOW? It had a measly amount of sunscreen is the only "active" I could find, and a chemical one at that! Ugly colors. The treatment products are, as I said, mostly silicone, which is pretty cheap.
Olay Regenerist has better products and more reasonably priced IMO.

I spent a LOT LOT LOT of money when I first got the book and went out and tried the basics, am pm and skin corrective lines..."UNDERwhelming" to say the least. I even ate a ton of salmon until I just thought I would start swimming upstream...no avail....I believe in some of his concepts, just didn't think it came across in the lines...
I'd save yer dough, in that case...

I was told once to NEVER buy beauty products or perfums from places like TJ Max and Ross because the stuff has sat in hot warehouses for however long. The potency could be greatly reduced, and perfume could smell bad. And you wont lnow until you buy it!
Couldn't you say that about any mass supplier though? I mean, products sold in "better department stores" or even in small, exclusive boutiques came from a warehouse somewhere.

True that stuff comes from warehouses, but the sell-outs at Ross and wherever have sat for A LONG TIME. That's why they are being sold at those stores. Always check a expiration date.
Checking expiration dates is wise. But I don't know how many cosmetic products are stamped with them the way food is. One might have to call the manufacturer with the lot # to find out exactly when the product was made.
I wouldn't necessarily believe something on "discount" was old, because huge companies often buy overstock from manufacturers at a discount and pass that on to customers undercut their competitors. Non-discount stores do this all the time. Buying cosmetics is pretty much a crap shoot anyway. What might work for someone, may not work at all for someone else.

I agree with his diet info but not his skincare products. He LOVES DMAE!!!
It's in just about all of his anti-ageing products. Is it safe? read here:
Will DMAE lift your face, or just your wallet?
It made me break out in pimples every time I used anything with DMAE in it. I didn't see any benefit from it.

Tried a few of his products...not impressed at all.
Tried tinted moisturizer a year ago and it made me break out. Tried Perricone MD Neuropeptide Firming Moisturizer and it seemed to sit on my skin rather than be absorbed. Too expensive and not too impressive at all!

Is that the one that's over $200? Amazing people will pay that much for iffy products.
I agree with Fawnie.....his diet advice is good.

It's crazy! Ppl think that if (a) a DOCTOR (could be a PhD, could be a gynecologist...who knows) sells it; (b) it's expensive; (c) it comes in clinical-looking packaging...it must be good! Websites like this are debunking all that and we are finding out just what really works.

Yeah, and I bet the majority of the ingredients on the label ended in 'cone!! A good thing for filling in lines and forming a barrier on the skin, but doesn't really do anything actively. The ingredients don't justify the prices.

I was watching one of the home shopping shows that had Perricone products. His spokeswoman would never really talk about ingredients....she kept saying over and over and over"This will give you better radiance, smoothness, elasticity....blah...blah...blah..
