   Description

Fact or-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-K 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 photo-damage.

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.

Recently numerous university medical and research facilities have re­ported that Retinol (ALL-Trans-Retinol or ROL) has the activity and efficacy of Retinoic acid without the majority of the side effects associ­ated with products such as RetinA¶.

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 a stabilized Retinol may be more active in the skin than Retinoic acid. Medical research has proven that some Retinoids, such as Retinol, can reduce or reverse many of the visible signs of skin aging, especially fine wrinkling and textural changes. New collagen deposition, greater proliferation of new blood vessels and capillary formation have been documented. Dramatic improvement can be observed with regard to skin smoothness, evening of skin tones and overall skin rejuvenation. Retinol also plays a prominent role in conditioning the skin prior to many cosmetic procedures such as facial surgery, CO, Laser Resurfac­ing and chemical peels. Retinol has proven to be a potent tool in treating acne by preventing the cells that line the follicular canal from sticking together and creat­ing the solid impactions that block the follicle. This comedolytic action is unequalled in addressing the underlying mechanisms that contrib­ute to acne. Additionally, when this new Retinol technology is formulated in com­bination with glycolic acid, there is a synergistic enhancement and the overall results are greatly intensified.

Factor-A and Factor-A Plus contain the highest percentages of Retinol (ALL­Trans-Retinol) legally available. We have been able to provide this remarkable breakthrough by developing a proprietary stabilized complex along with an unparalleled delivery system.


   Useage

As an anti-aging accelerator
This product is more potent than Factor-A. If Factor-A Plus is being used in combina­tion with other products containing glycolic acid, it should be applied a maxi­mum of once or twice weekly during the initial stages of use. Extremely strong or oily skins may be able to very gradually increase application to nightly frequency

Application: Night only
Shake bottle well before each application.
Cleanse face with the appropriate
Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser and wait at least 15 minutes. (If C-ESTA is being used it should be applied immediately after cleans­ing.) Apply Factor-A Plus sparingly to entire face, including under eye area. Avoid upper eyelids. Next, apply the evening Bioglycolic product and, if desired, follow with moisturizer.

For Extremely Oily or Acne Prone Skin

Week One
Important: Apply at night only twice dur­ing the first week, with three full days between each application. For instance, if Factor-A Plus is applied Sunday night, wait until Thursday night for the second application.

HOW TO APPLY: Cleanse face with Bio­glycolic Facial Cleanser and wait at least 15 minutes. Apply Factor-A Plus sparingly to entire face, including under eyes. Avoid upper eyelids. Next, apply the evening Bioglycolic product; i.e., Facial Lotion, Night Cream, etc. If a moisturizer is de­sired, follow with moisturizer. If C-ESTA is being used, it should be applied first after cleansing, followed by Factor-A Plus, Bioglycolic product, etc.

Week Two
Apply Factor-A Plus every other night fol­lowing the application procedure outlined in week one.

Week Three
Apply Factor-A Plus every night. Factor-A Plus may now be applied two minutes after cleansing. It is no longer necessary to wait 15 minutes.

Week Four
Continue applying Factor-A Plus every night as directed. If skin is not experienc­ing any undue redness or irritation, begin applying Factor-A Plus in the morning as well. During the first week of twice daily application, use Factor-A Plus every other morning only Simply cleanse face and wait at least 2 minutes before applying Factor-A Plus to entire face. Allow to absorb completely and then apply the appropriate daytime Bioglycolic product and any other day product (such as moisturizer). Be cer­tain to apply SPF sunbiock. After one or two weeks, if skin is not experiencing any undue redness or irritation, increase usage to every morning and every evening.

REMEMBER, it is normal to experience some temporary redness and mild flaking with Factor-A Plus. This is necessary to achieve improvement. Most of these side effects are temporary and can be eliminated or minimized by using the recommended compatible skin care products. Current products may need to be adjusted to re­ceive the greatest benefit. If redness or irritation persist, discontinue use. If you have questions, please contact us.

What's happening in our forum

RAVE: Maybelline Dream Glow Bronzing Booster Drops
I got a bottle to try and though it isn't as nice as the Dr Hauschka's it's a great product for the price. It is thicker than Dr. Hauschka and I found dotting it on the areas I put bronzer on then blending it in worked the best for control of the colour. On the whole a great drugstore

WOW - DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
Do you find GoW's cleansing oil leaves a film on your face? I tried the cleansing oil sample pack. While they removed makeup very well, they're very thick and difficult to spread. Plus they all left films on my face. When I followed with another cleanser (a very gentle one), my skin got very dry and taut. If I didn't, I had to wait for 5 minutes for the oil from the film to sink into my skin.

I did not find either cleansing oil to leave a film on my face. I can skip a second cleansing and be perfectly


What our customers are saying

Congratulations again for your great service! promptreliable and thank you for the samples too! :-)
