Jan Marini review

 Updated On:

Overview

Dedicated to healthy skin, Jan Marini has developed a skin care line utilizing advice and input from industry researchers and scientists. She is known for her advanced and innovative approach to ingredients, and as a pioneer in the use of glycolic acid. She is the CEO and president of Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc. Marini was the first to use stable Vitamin C technology as a means of improving skin texture and appearance. The products in her line are used to treat everything from acne to aging. While this is a strong claim, the diverse nature of the line's supposed effects may make some consumers hesitate, then look for a more targeted skin care solution.

The company she founded has expanded its line from solely skin care to products for hair, eyelashes, skin and lips. She uses vitamins and antioxidants as primary ingredients in her products.

Product Details

Marini believes all skin types can be improved using topical application of her regimens, designed to address different skin issues. Her products call for five-steps: cleansing, resurfacing, rejuvenating, preventing and hydrating.

Marini's website is designed to let visitors intensify their skin programs with other products from different lines. For instance, the acne skin care system's results can be improved with her anti-aging creams containing retinol, or Vitamin A; these additional product suggestions often include Retin-A as it is included as a means to restore and even texture and tone. Also, Vitamin C is a primary ingredient in many of the products as it reportedly creates a tighter, firmer and less-wrinkled appearance.

The Good

  • Official website offers product descriptions for different lines and for individual product
  • Official website offers testimonials
  • Products include peptides

The Bad

  • Products not available for purchase on official website
  • Not all ingredients listed for all products
  • No prices given for products on Website
  • Little actual product study data is offered

The Bottom Line

Jan Marini's products may use advanced ingredients but her lack of specific details on all of the ingredients in her products makes it difficult for a consumer to know what they're buying. Those with allergies could face problems using Marini's products without knowledge of all its ingredients. Marini's lines seem inaccessible, as her full ingredient lists are missing as well as prices for products and retailer information. Purchasing any of Marini's lines might be difficult for a variety of reasons.

Our Top Pick For 2009:  Dermapril-SP

Dermapril-SP was rated the best-in-class performer, with a cutting-edge formula and results visible immediately after use. Matrixyl 3000™, the primary active ingredient in Dermapril-SP, is backed by clinical research that showed reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles of as much as 33% after two months of use. Additionally, the formula contains the European miracle ingredient Argatensyl™, which creates an immediate tightening effect on applied areas, making results visible within minutes of use.

The treatment helps the skin regain a more youthful biochemical makeup by supporting the natural production of three building blocks – Collagen, Fibronectin and Hyaluronic Acid. The result is a rapid rejuvenation, diminishing the appearance of wrinkles and other cosmetic signs of age caused by sun exposure, smoking, stress, and other common factors.

In clinical trials, Matrixyl 3000™ decreased the appearance of wrinkles by as much as 33% over a six week period. With the immediate tightening benefits of Argatensyl™, this formula has a completely unique combination of short-term cosmetic results as well as sustained, cumulative benefits to the skin. Common reported results include smoothing and firming; softer skin; diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles; and healthier looking, glowing skin. Based on the high cost and quality of the ingredients, Dermapril-SP is reasonably priced.
