3.0 out of 5 stars Some good advice, but expensive to follow!, March 13, 2005

By	J. M. Dessler - See all my reviews

This book contains a lot of good practical information. However, all the good advice is overshadowed by the obvious sales pitch to buy his expensive skin care products. Just for fun, I calculated up what I would have to spend each month to participate in the 5-Week program that Dr. Murad suggests. If I used everything the good doctor recommends (excluding the products listed as optional) I would have to spend around $500 a month. Here's the breakdown for my skin type (normal/combination). Murad Refreshing Cleanser $26, Murad Hydrating Toner $20, Murad Essential-C Daily Renewal Complex $82, Murad Skin Protecting Lotion $30, Murad Oil-Free Sunblock $22, Murad Pomphenol Sunguard Supplement 30 Day Supply $35, Muad Youth Builder Collagen Suppliment 30 Day Supply $45, Murad Daily Renewal Complex Antioxidant Supplement 30 Day Supply (I couldn't find this on his website so I substituted Shaklee Vita-Lea @ $22.95), Coenzyme Q10 Suppliment $32.95, Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser $29, Murad Vitamin C Infusion System (4-Week Supply) $60. Total: $497.90

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money, May 24, 2006

By	LMC (Midwest) - See all my reviews

This is basically a commercial pitch for Dr. Murad's spas and products. Unless you are planning on buying his regime, he gives very, very scant information about how you could accomplish the program using other, less expensive products.
Don't expect an easy how-to giving you day by day advice of supplements and skin care. It's not here. I decided to buy this based on other's good reviews. Now I'm thinking that they were written by employees. I was very disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars It really works!, June 8, 2004

By	linda poster (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

I've tried all products and programs, but this is the first time I have seen reaults in my skin and I felt better. Taking the vitamin pills that Dr. Murad suggests along with the creams he lists has cleared my brown spots and smoothed my skin. I have used Murad products for 2 months now as my facialist suggested and since reading this book, I have added the vitamins and the results in only 2 weeks are amazing! This is the BEST program for keeping the plastic surgeon away!!!
