Was okay. Didn't tell me much that I hadn't known already. Gave details on beauty treatments (i.e. injections, lasers, plastic surgery) and common skin problems (i.e. rashes, moles, birthmarks). I was slightly disappointed with the lack of recommendations for moisturizers or even sunscreens. Dr. Gordon actually said that, if you have oily skin, you don't need to wear moisturizer! WTF? I have extremely oily skin but I wear a moisturizer/sunscreen every single day. Of course I've adjusted my skincare regimin according to the seasons. And I've also learned to love blotting papers. A better book would be "The Skin Type Solution" by Dr. Leslie Baumann.
