Long recognized as a pioneer in reversing skin damage caused by aging, board certified dermatologist and #1 bestselling author Nicholas Perricone, M.D., now turns his scientific knowledge and experience toward acne.

For the first time ever, common medical myths regarding the treatment of acne are dispelled as Dr. Perricone delivers a revolutionary program that guarantees success—no matter your age, skin type, or gender!
