Therapeutic Line: Factor-A^® and Factor-A Plus^®

Dramatic Skin Rejuvenation for the Visible Signs of Aging
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. Over 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 photodamage and aging.
Jan Marini Skin Research has identified new stabilization and delivery components that enable Retinol, a dietary form of Vitamin A, to be delivered in a stable fashion where it is converted by certain enzymes into retinoic acid, while avoiding superficial redness, peeling and irritation. Some recent studies demonstrate that a stabilized Retinol may be more active in the skin than Retinoic acid at similar percentages.
Factor-A and Factor-A Plus contain the highest percentages of Retinol (all-trans-retinol). We have been able to provide this remarkable breakthrough by developing a proprietary, stabilized complex along with an unparalleled delivery system.

The Factor A^® Range

Factor-A® Lotion
With Retinol
Improve the Appearance of Aging and Photo-Damaged Skin
Factor-A Lotion is a cutting edge technology that utilizes a form of Vitamin A called Retinol (all-trans-retinol/ROL). Numerous medical studies have confirmed that Retinol has similar activity and efficacy of Retinoic Acid (the active form of Vitamin A in Retin-A) without many of the side effects.
Jan Marini Skin Research has identified new stabilization and delivery components that enable Retinol to be delivered in a stable fashion where it is converted by certain enzymes into Retinoic acid, while avoiding superficial redness, peeling and irritation. Some recent studies demonstrate that stabilized Retinol may be more active in the skin than Retinoic acid. Dramatic improvement can be observed with regard to reversing the appearance of aging and photo-damaged skin. All trans Retinol is also a potent tool in treating the appearance of acneic skin and maintaining clearing.

Factor-A® Eyes For Dark Circles
With Vitamin K, Retinol, and Supporting Agents
Addresses Darkened Color, Lines, Wrinkles, and Other Signs of Aging Around the Eyes
Under-eye darkness can result from a combination of different factors. These factors can include:
Thinner skin on the lower eyelids allowing pigment and vessels to be more visible.
Gravity, which causes under-eyelid skin to move downward, initiating more stretching and thinning. This allows the blood vessels and pigment to become more noticeable.
Cumulative sun exacerbates the skin-thinning, melanin content, and effects of gravity.
Inflammation.
Jan Marini Skin Research Factor-A Eyes is a medically researched and tested formulation that dramatically addresses the combination of these contributing factors by utilizing Vitamin K, Retinol, and a number of supporting agents in a highly stabilized polymeric controlled release system.
Vitamin K has been shown in clinical studies to assist in decreasing the appearance of pigment and repairing blood vessels. Retinoids (such as stabilized retinol) have historically been proven to decrease the appearance of lines and wrinkles, reorganize collagen and assist in preventing the deposit of pigment in the epidermis.
The combination of these two ingredients directly addresses the appearance of darkened color, lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging around the eyes. Users report rapid and noticeable improvement.
Factor-A Eyes for Dark Circles is packaged in 60 individually encapsulated and stabilized dosages. Used once daily in the evening, one capsule is used for both eyes. The gel-like, time-release formula is gently applied to the under eye area.
60 individually encapsulated dosages (2-month supply)
