I have tried many products to control my oily skin, but no product has been a bit helpful. I have spent a lot of money on products that claim will work,,but they don’t at all.

I am 79 years old and look younger than my age. I have been looking for a good regimen and would like to try Dr. Perricone’s anti aging skin care products. I have tried many brands and am hoping that this would be the answer to my skin care. I have normal skin, slightly enlarged pores on my nose. Would suggestions as to what I should start with.
Thank you.

I started using your Firming Facial Toner last Christmas. My daughter purchased it but it caused her skin to break out. She asked her dermatologist and she told her she was allergic to one of the ingredients – soooo I started using it. What a difference. I have used RETIN-A every night since the mid 80s and because my skin has always been dry, it started peeling and 25 years still peels. I have three areas on end of my nose that has required freezing every year as they peel continuously. Well, using your product, my nose healed within the first week of use and has not required treatment since using it. I am now able to use Retin-A Micro 0.1% without the peeling. I am thrilled after all these years to find a product that helps the pH of my skin. I would be happy to sample your other products that works well with Retin-A. I am 69 years old and do not have a wrinkle on my skin. Thank you.

Hi Jones,

Thank you for commenting on the Perricone blog.

We don’t specifically use nanotechnology in current product; but there are nano-sized particles inherently in the physical sunscreen ingredients we use, since the particle size distribution is a range.

Note on zinc oxide sunscreen, it is in a lotion (concern is more around inhalation) and is designed to stay on top layers of skin in order to act as a physical block. It doesn’t make sense for physical sunscreen ingredient manufacturers or us as cosmetic manufacturers to make ZnO and TiO2 sunscreens penetrate past the surface layer or they wouldn’t work.

I have had trouble with unbelieveably large pores since I was a kid and have tried everything to fix them. The effects of your moisturizer looks to be my best solution. Please pick me!
