The Bioglycolic^® Line

Glycolic acid is what is known as an "alpha hydroxy acid," or "AHA." Alpha hydroxy acids are a family of acids that occur naturally in various fruits and foods, and are often collectively referred to as fruit acids. Glycolic acid found in sugar cane has received the most attention medically because it has the smallest molecule of all the AHAs. This small molecular weight enables glycolic acid to penetrate more effectively and to ultimately bring about the most dramatic and beneficial changes of all the AHAs.

Among other things, glycolic acid loosens the "glue-like" attachments or cellular cement that is characteristic of many skin conditions such as acne, photodamage (environmental aging), and hyperpigmentation. This non-invasive lifting of the cells in the stratum corneum enables glycolic acid to act as a phenomenal resurfacing agent that can immensely improve the appearance of the skin and has even proven to be a valuable tool in reducing the depth of acne scarring.

As physicians and researchers gain a greater interest in glycolic acid, medical studies have revealed that glycolic acid may stimulate collagen, increase epidermal volume, and even act as a powerful antioxidant and free radical inhibitor. Tests also illustrate how glycolic acid acts as a delivery agent when combined with other beneficial ingredients or medications, thus potentiating the desired results.

The Bioglycolic Line combines proven glycolic acid standards with technological advancements far beyond any previously available products. Jan Marini Skin Research created Bioglycolic products to provide the ultimate resurfacing agents along with additional scientifically calculated components that equate to unparalleled skin care management.

Bioglycolic® Facial Lotion SPF 15
Non-Chemical Sunblock for Sensitive Skin
Jan Marini Skin Research Bioglycolic Facial Lotion SPF 15 non-chemical sunblock is the first glycolic acid resurfacing agent that is combined with a totally non-chemical sunblocking agent. Facial Lotion SPF 15 is formulated using highly micronized titanium dioxide and the identical percentage of glycolic acid as contained in our regular Facial Lotion. Titanium dioxide is known as a "physical block," meaning that unlike chemical agents, it deflects the sun's UV rays before they can penetrate the skin. Because of titanium dioxide's superior ability to give total protection, it has broad spectrum blocking capabilities that include UVB, UVA, UVC and infrared rays.
Facial Lotion SPF 15 provides excellent protection for all patients and especially those who have sensitivities to chemical sunscreens. Our preparation is comprised of non-comedogenic ingredients and is suitable for all skin types. As with regular Bioglycolic Facial Lotion, we have incorporated our unique phytoamine bio-complex along with hyaluronic acid in order to significantly augment the skin's hydration level.

Bioglycolic® Hand and Body Lotion
Revitalizes Aging and Environmentally Damaged Skin
Jan Marini Skin Research Bioglycolic Hand and Body Cream dramatically improves the appearance of aging and environmentally damaged skin. Bioglycolic Hand and Body Cream beautifully resurfaces skin texture while it revitalizes the supple smooth quality of young healthy skin.
In addition, Jan Marini Skin Research is the first company to combine the rejuvenating benefits of glycolic acid with specialized ingredients that significantly minimize areas that have contour irregularities due to uneven fat distribution. Fat metabolism and fat storage are greatly determined by two receptors that signal how localized areas of the body will deal with fat usage. Women, for the most part, are genetically programmed to store greater amounts of fat, or adipose tissue, between dermis and hypodermis, and depressions or irregularities can occur that are commonly referred to as "cellulite" or "orange peel" skin.
Recently, certain substances have been identified that can temporarily block the alpha 2 receptors that are primarily responsible for restricting fat mobilization and thus enable activation of beta receptors, resulting in a process called lipolysis, or the release of trapped fat. Jan Marini Skin Research has further refined this technology by combining the active ingredients for triglyceride release along with additional antioxidant and connective tissue repair capabilities.
This scientifically researched technology has produced a revolutionary formula that addresses body skin care with a truly remarkable technology that produces measurable results.

Bioglycolic® Sunless Self-Tanner
For a Natural, Glowing Tan without Damaging Sun Exposure
Jan Marini Skin Research Sunless Self-Tanner enables patients to enjoy an attractive glowing tan without harmful sun exposure. Sunless Self-Tanner is not a dye or a coating, but the most recent technology using an amino acid that interacts with the skin's proteins, activating a beautifully natural-appearing, long lasting color change. Each patient will experience an individual tanning shade that is in keeping with their own natural coloration and skin tones, but they will also benefit from a richer and more even hue that can be achieved through sunbathing.
In addition, Jan Marini Skin Research has taken sunless tanning technology even further by developing a preparation that incorporates a small percentage of glycolic acid. Glycolic acid ensures better penetration, decreases the time necessary for color to appear, and lengthens the wearability before another application is needed.
Although Sunless Self-Tanner can be applied to the face or the body, it is specifically formulated for facial use. All ingredients are non-comedogenic in a silky-feeling, fast drying base.
Sunless Self-Tanner is an excellent alternative for patients who have been wisely advised to limit their sun exposure, but still wish to cultivate a "bronzed" appearance.
