Factor-A Lotion is a cutting edge skin treatment technology that utilizes a form of Vitamin A (Retinol) known as (all-trans-retinol / ROL).

Numerous medical studies have confirmed that Retinol has the 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 acne and maintaining clearing.

• Dramatic improvement can be observed with regard to skin smoothness, evening of skin tones and overall skin rejuvenation.
• Active retinoids also play a prominent role in conditioning the skin prior to many cosmetic procedures such as facial surgery, CO2 laser resurfacing and chemical peels.
• They have also proven to be potent tools in treating acne by preventing the cells that line the follicular canal from sticking together and creating the solid impactions that block the follicle.
