An essential and comprehensive guide to acne for women of all ages

Acne is no longer just a teenage affliction. In fact, dermatologists often refer to it as a woman's disease, and drugstore shelves are filled with acne products specifically geared toward adult women. But how do you choose from the overwhelming selection of treatments? Which products are appropriate to use as you grow older, become pregnant, or enter menopause? How can you work with a dermatologist to get the most out of prescription acne medications?

Lydia Preston answers all of these questions and more, with up-to-date information drawn from her years of reporting on dermatology, as well as her own long personal experience with acne. In Breaking Out, she shares the wisdom of dozens of doctors and scientists who have devoted their careers to studying and treating acne, including:

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 knowledge and expertise toward acne. Although usually considered an unavoidable problem limited to the teenage years, in reality, millions of people suffer from this inflammatory disease well into middle age. In fact, half of the acne patients in Dr. Perricone's fifteen-year practice suffered from adult-onset acne.

With The Acne Prescription, Dr. Perricone finally delivers the solutions acne sufferers have been waiting for. A complete program that incorporates Dr. Perricone's trademark three-tiered approach -- antiinflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough anti-inflammatory topical applications -- The Acne Prescription will help clear your skin in a matter of days. And, Dr. Perricone will tell you what to do to treat the pitting and scarring that often affect adult acne sufferers.

Like the runaway #1 bestseller The Perricone Prescription, The Acne Prescription will feature dramatic before-and-after color photos, rock-solid scientific background explication, and a day-by-day program of meals and exercise. And, although physicians have long told patients that diet plays no role in acne, Dr. Perricone's breakthrough research dispels this and other common 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 look within three days. You will look and feel better than you ever thought possible. Good health and clear, radiant, beautiful skin -- an unbeatable combination!

In addition to physical symptoms, acne sufferers often present psychological symptoms related to the condition like depression, stress, and low self-esteem. These psychological aspects of acne are often downplayed, and the condition is considered "merely cosmetic" and not a true disease. In the worst cases, acne sufferers have been blamed for their acne much like obese people are blamed for their weight, with the disorder being indicative of a lack of self-control, bad hygiene, or an unhealthy diet. But recent research suggests that diet is not a main cause of acne, and that acne is usually caused by the skin's sebaceous glands being pathologically sensitive to certain hormones. Acne can also be a secondary symptom of certain diseases like polycystic ovary syndrome.
