Something's Fishy About Perricone MD



Dr. Perricone has been a leader in the anti-aging business for years.  He has written books, promoted the use of certain supplements, and of course, created his best-selling skin care line, Perricone MD.  Perricone MD products have long been on my wish list (see Cold Plasma), but are generally out of my price range.  Well, several weeks ago I came across the Perricone MD blog, which offers up Value of the Day specials.  Generally these are travel sized products sold for a special price, which has allowed me to try out a few items. 

Unfortunately, Perricone products stink.  Literally.  They smell like fish.  Most of them do anyway.  One of the anti-aging ingredients that Perricone uses is DMAE, derived from sardines and anchovies.  DMAE is effective at firming skin, so there are other lines on the market that use this ingredient.  I wonder if they also smell fishy.  I'm still willing to give Perricone MD a chance, since the odor isn't too overwhelming (and I hate fish), but only if I see some major results.
