Nicholas Perricone /ˈpɛrɪkoʊn/ is an American dermatologist and author.[1] His self-help books about weight loss and maintaining the appearance of youth have been criticized for making controversial and unsupported claims.

Perricone earned his medical degree from Michigan State University College of Human Medicine.[2] He opposes the use of Botox.[3] He argues that exercise, an anti-inflammatory diet plus dietary supplements, superfoods, and topical products can help fight aging and its effects on appearance.[2] His company, N.V. Perricone, M.D. Ltd., sells branded products described in his books.[1][4]
