- Dermatologists love this book!
This is an incredibly valuable book! Congratulations, from one dermatologist to another, on finally making sense of acne for patients and for doctors! I learned a great deal that will enhance my practice and I will recommend all of my acne patients buy this book. Thank you for such a well written, easy to follow reference guide to acne! Ellen Marmur, MD

- Clear writing for clear skin
This book was has been more useful than all the advice I have gotten from various doctors, articles in magazines and "skin care specialists". The writing is clear and finally so is my skin.

- Great book for parents & teens
If anything can help bridge the generational divide, it's this book! Easy to read, incredibly informative, Dr. Goodheart has provided a terrific overview of a subject that's often difficult for parents and teenagers to discuss. This book's given us great historical, clinical and psychological perspective---so that together we can figure out possible treatment strategies. It's helped make my husband and I a bit more sensitive about what our kids are going through---while it answers a lot of their spoken and unspoken questions. We all recommend ACNE FOR DUMMIES highly.

- Like having the doctor talking directly to me
I was interested in this book before even buying it because I have seen Dr. Goodheart's name several times in the NY Times Science Section. And the book more than met my expectations. NOt only is it clear and informative, but I feel as though Dr. GOODHEART is talking directly to me, anticipating all my questions before I can even think OF them. And he takes into consideration not only the skin but how we all feel when we're struggling with how we look and helps give us ways to deal with that. This is a terrific book: easy to use and hugely informative. This is the book to buy about your acne troubles or even other related skin issues.

- Great Book for teens!
My mom gave me Acne For Dummies to read because I'm very frustrated about my acne and for the first time I read something that I could UNDERSTAND and was also very helpful. I also enjoyed some of the unusual sidebars!! I recommend this book for all teens who have been confronted with the confounding problems of acne-- this book is clear, concise and very useful. I will refer back to it from time to time to remind myself of the options available to me. I think all pediatricians should be recommending it as well as school nurses and stuff. Thanks Dr. Goodheart for writing this book!!
