Jan Marini Skin Care Products - Factor A and A Plus

Jan Marini Factor-A and Factor-A Plus are cutting edge technologies that fall into the category known as Retinoids.

Retinoids are a group of naturally occurring and synthetic compounds that have Vitamin A-like biological activity.

They play a critical role in skin growth, repair and epithelial cell differentiation. In the past 20 years, tremendous research has focused on certain Retinoids, particularly retinoic acid, for the purpose of treating various skin abnormalities including acne, actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous lesions) and skin changes due to photo-damage and aging.

The most well known retinoic acid compound is Retin-ATM, which was approved by the FDA for the treatment of acne and later approved for the treatment of age related skin changes due to cumulative photodamage.

Retinoic acid has proven to be an extremely effective prescription medication, although in many cases the patient experiences mild to extreme redness and irritation.

Because of the often difficult acclimation period and sometimes persistent continuing irritation, scientists have diligently searched for other Retinoids that would have equal or greater value without the potential side effects.

Jan Marini Factor-A / Factor-A Plus Creams

Jan Marini Factor-A Cream contains the same cutting edge technology as Jan Marini Factor-A Lotion, formulated in a light emollient base.

Advanced skin enhancing agents and collagen boosters leave skin feeling exceptionally silky, smooth and hydrated.

Jan Marini Factor-A Retinol Complex dramatically improves the appearance if aging and photodamaged skin, refines the skin's texture, and promotes firmness and elasticity.
