This book is a solid introduction into skincare. It explains biology concepts in simple terms, shows clear cause and effect examples and provides very useful advice for specific ingredients to look out for!
For those who are interested in skincare already there may not be a lot of new information there. However because of the language and approach of a 'friendly scientist' some terminology that might have not been clear before will definitely seem much simpler after reading this book.

A good book but very general. I read it looking for specific advice on one thing but the book wants to cover everything so I only had a page or two about what I got the whole book for.
What the author should have done is to write a series of specific books and detail by product name what to try and what to avoid.
I did learn a couple of things but I’m also a bit confused now on other things.

I thought I was already doing a good job of caring for my skin but reading this book really opened my eyes. It was written in a clear way, mixing the science with clear explanations and giving useful and honest advice. I felt that it presented a neutral point of view and there was no 'selling' of products or pushing particular brands. As I was reading I also felt that it gave advice to everyone no matter what your budget for skincare is. A must for everyone's bookshelves or bathroom cabinets - I will be giving it to everyone I know who worries about caring for their skin and ageing.
