Dana is so stunning and so beautiful! I should be buying every product she sells What products are a good start if I want to try Perricone? Thanks!

you might consider the tsv. 3 products for morning and evening - uncomplicated and thorough. There are also firming products but this simple combo is a great start.

Thank you so much, Jewel. Great idea The glow in the ‘after’ pictures for the TSV are so pretty. Again, thanks!

The problem with Perricone (other than price) is they have SOOOOOOO many products that it gets confusing.

No way does Dana or anyone else use all of it.  I find I can only layer 3 products without it starting to ball up.

You have to really look in to what you feel YOUR issues are when choosing products.  This TSV wouldn't be a bad start.

I had a very honest conversation with my dermatologist and he told me that any OTC product alone will produce little noticeable anti-aging results. He sells his own line and he said the same applies.

His advice: Focus on the most pressing concerns, do research on treatments that can really solve or greatly improve the problems and then pair that with highly rated products that can maintain or enhance your results.

I've been micro needling and I've had non-ablative laser to address large pores from my oily, acne prone skin and I can say that no product ever came close to the results from these treatments. Now, all my skin products that address the same issues work like never before. 

You have to put a dent in the issue in order for OTC products to work well since the epidermis is so hard to penetrate. Therefore, you can spend hundreds of dollars on skin products when getting a treatment maybe once or twice will enable you to reach the results you're looking for much sooner. A dermatologist is not offering perfection but you will get a realistic idea of what to expect with measurable results. 

I'm sure Dana Bledsoe enhances her skincare with treatments. You can't address anti-aging with only one approach.

If you have taken care of your skin all your life and stayed out of the sun, OTC products should help keep your skin more youthful looking.It's hard to address sagging skin with OTC products and appliances, but that's the ageing process. DB does look good, but she's only in her 50's, I looked 10 years younger when I was in my 50's too.

NycVixen, thank you for sharing your conversation with your dermatologist with us. I second your recommendation of micro needling and other treatments (for me it's Dermal Infusion) and appreciate his comments about OTC products. 

Since starting micro needling about 3 years ago and Dermal Infusion about a year ago, I am happier with my skin than I have been in years.  And I no longer get Botox or fillers, I honestly don't believe that I need them.  I use a combination of Perricone, Philosophy and Strivectin products and agree that they support skin maintenance. 

An annecdote about micro needling--I have mine done at a medical spa.  After I had been having the treatments for a year or so, while still getting fillers, the nurse there who was injecting the fillers said it was much more difficult for her to penetrate my skin with a needle, the micro needling had improved my skin collagen so much.

She certainly is.  She’s a beautiful lady inside and out.  However, I would never use any of these products, due to the known chemicals that it contains, and the known risks to human health.  Dana herself, as many know, has been fighting her own health battles in life.  She is a beautiful fighting spirit, however, I do not think that eliminating a few natural wrinkles and sags, is worth taking the risk of getting your body sick.  Of course, no one knows the culprit of her health issues, but again, for me, using them for vanity, would never be worth risking my health.

Aside from a total face and neck laser lift, microneedling has been the single most effective thing I have done to help with laxity and firmness of my skin. No topical can do what it has done for me. Between needling and using tretinoin, I have found I don't need much of anything else.
