During a visit to Italy, Dr. Nicholas Perricone journeyed to the Vatican Necropolis, just below St. Peter’s Basilica, to visit tombs of saints. There, he met a woman who said she once experienced a number of health problems that required many medications. Then she read his book about his signature anti-inflammatory diet.  

After following Perricone’s program, the woman said the doctor started taking her off the medications. “She started crying,” he recalls. 

As a board-certified dermatologist and nutrition specialist, Perricone has spent his multi-decade career devoted to the science-backed, holistic caring of the skin. His innovative contributions to the beauty industry vary from founding skincare system Perricone MD (which namechecks fans like Oprah Winfrey and Jennifer Lopez) to the publication of 10 books, including the April release of The Beauty Molecule: Introducing Neuroceuticals, the Breakthrough for Ageless Beauty. 

“The skin is a very visual organ,” Perricone tells Los Angeles. “[It] is essentially a barometer of what’s going on inside of us.” 

The Connecticut-based doctor is most renowned for his anti-inflammatory diet program, which he first published about in his 2001 book, The Wrinkle Cure. It outlines a mix of supplements, cosmeceuticals and dietary modifications for a revitalized body and beautiful skin. 

First hitting the market in 2017, Perricone recently relaunched Dr. Perricone Hydrogen Water. Now with a U.S.-based manufacturer, Perricone is on a mission to embed this Japanese practice into Western culture.  

“I’ve found the magic bullet,” he says of hydrogen water, the crown jewel of the anti-inflammatory diet. “I’m really enthused about this because we can change the healthcare system in this country very quickly if we get everybody drinking this.”

Perricone recommends drinking two to three cans of the hydrogen water each day. Infused with molecular hydrogen, this super water promises to provide a potent antioxidant effect. 

In one instance, Perricone’s personal assistant shipped a case of the hydrogen water to a New York City magazine editor who planned to do a story about Perricone. Two weeks later, his assistant had a scare because the editor called her crying.  

“The reason she called crying was she said, ‘I just drank this can of hydrogen water, and I’ve had a neurologic Lyme disease and brain fog for 20 years and for the first time in 20 years, my brain is clear’” Perricone says. “We turned off inflammation. That’s what’s all going on.”  

He adds, “That’s what I’m proud of, when I meet people and know that the work I’ve done has made their lives better.”
