Perricone MD brand identity
The American brand Perricone MD was created by dermatologist N. Perricon. This is a scientist, doctor, author of several books on skin care and proper nutrition. His company owns more than a hundred US and international patents in the treatment of skin lesions.
The main idea of Perricon is the “inflammation theory”. Many he alth problems, including skin aging, according to the doctor, are associated with inflammatory processes inside cells. Inflammation is caused by malnutrition, stress, unfavorable ecological cosmetics, weakened immunity, exposure to UV rays.
Cosmetics is not a panacea. N. Perrikon believes that an integrated approach is important to achieve noticeable results. The doctor suggests taking supplements and changing the diet. The Perricon diet involves limiting the use of starchy foods and focusing on the right fats, protein, fresh vegetables and berries.
