"Real artistry . . . A finely crafted and absorbing novel."--Los Angeles Times

Dane is an American magazine journalist, and John, a British psychotherapist. He says he knows everything about her, how she thinks, what she wants from life. Under the force of his certainty, Dane marries John and takes up the care of his silent three-year-old son, Robin.

They go on vacation to Majorca to try to become a family, but ten months into their marriage Dane finds herself growing more and more distant from John, impatient with his endless analysis of their relationship, and repulsed by his clumsy attempts at understanding. As ever, Robin's silence hangs constantly between them, a symbol of pure anger and hate. As the two weeks stretch on forever, Dane grows closer to a decision she can't quite make, and Robin sits silently in the middle, a reminder to her of all she cannot control....

Praise for The Perfectionists

"This is so skillfully in the classical tradition, and at the same time so accurate on the old Adam and Eve battle. I thought the British psychiatrist an only too convincing male monster."--John Fowles

"Tense, tight . . . complete with highly dramatic scenes, in an unembarrassed, uncluttered manner."--The St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Original in its situation, astute in its insight, and quite impeccably styled."--Kirkus Reviews

good
I’ve been using the CeraVe Acne Foaming Cream Wash for a bit now, and it’s honestly just okay. It does help keep breakouts under control and feels gentle enough for daily use, but it can be a little drying at times. The texture is nice and creamy, and I like that it includes benzoyl peroxide and hyaluronic acid, so it’s effective without being too harsh. It’s not a miracle product, but it’s a solid option if you want a straightforward acne wash that does the job. Use 4% instead.

Definitely helps with acne
Cerave is a good brand for a lot of skin care products. I use their daily facial washes and now I bought this face and body acne wash. Mostly, I bought it because recently I had a zit on my forehead that was not going away with salicylic acid washes, so I decided to try benzoyl peroxide instead. With one use that zit dried up quick and disappeared in 2 days. I will say that I did let the product sit on my face for a minute before washing it off. I didn't notice any irritation on my skin or sensitivity. Benzoyl is underrated in my opinion. It's effective at getting rid of stubborn acne, more so than salicylic acid, but it can be drying so you must use moisturizer afterwards. The effectiveness also goes for body acne. Being a woman, I get those nasty painful hormonal acne break outs on my back sometimes and this helps a lot with getting rid of those. I like that it's slightly cheaper than Panoxyl and you don't need a large amount for it to work.

Great product!
I love this product!! It is easy to apply and absorbs well. It can be used by itself, or you can apply makeup over it. I feel that it has been effective in minimizing the puffiness below my eyes. I love that it goes on with a cool feeling. I have been looking for something comparable to the Eye Rever Upper I used to use from Bare Minerals and I think I finally found it!! The only con that I have is the cost of the product. I feel it could be less.

Great Serum!!
I really like this Serum. I cant use retinol it gives me dermatitis. But this serum is very gentle yet gets rid of under eye and upper eye dryness and itchiness. It also is firming around the eyes. Definitely give it a try especially if you are very sensitive.
