Containing Kojic Acid 2 oz. tube

Bioglycolic Lightening Gel is representative of the latest cutting edge technology designed to address skin discoloration and unevenness. It combines the benefits of glycolic acid with newly researched kojic acid resulting in a formula that surpasses anything available to date.

Kojic acid is a mushroom derivative that has been successfully used for many years in Japan. Studies indicate that kojic acid shows greater effectiveness than hydroquinone bleach with lesser sensitivity, side effects or long-term complications. Additional research verifies that kojic acid also has an antibacterial effect. This is especially helpful when patients are being treated for acne and resultant hyperpigmentation at the same time.

Bioglycolic Lightening Gel is an oil-free, alcohol-free, instantly absorbed preparation that can be used in conjunction with any other medication, moisturizer, sun block or make-up. Users love the smooth silky feel and are delighted with their rapid progress. Contact us for details.

As an adjunct to MICRODERMABRASION to relieve the symptoms of active acne, Franklynn Centre offers Benzoyl peroxide (5% & 10% strengths in a 4 oz. bottle) as a potent and effective therapy for treating acne. It is currently recognized as being one of the most effective antibacterial agents proven to significantly reduce the presence of P acne bacteria (the bacteria believed to play a primary role in the inflammatory aspect of the acne process).

P acne bacteria thrives in an oxygen free environment and feeds on trapped oil in the sebaceous follicle. It then releases a toxic, corrosive, fatty acid by-product that works to break down the follicle walls and encourage the leaks and ruptures that produce acne lesions. By reducing the P acne bacteria colonies, the inflammatory process is minimized and clearing of acne lesions is greatly enhanced.

Many physicians and researchers believe that benzoyl peroxide, used in conjunction with glycolic acid, is a potent tool to achieve dramatic clearing of acne lesions and prevent changes within the follicle associated with the acne process.

Jan Marini Skin Research Benzoyl Peroxide is pharmaceutically produced and by using highly micronized benzoyl peroxide and special non-comedongenic emollients, this preparation minimizes dryness and irritation, while providing maximum measurable effectiveness.

Among other things, glycolic acid loosens the "glue-like" attachments, or cellular cement, that are characteristic of many skin conditions such as acne. 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. It has even proven to be a valuable tool in reducing the depth of acne scarring.

Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser with glycolic acid is a gentle cleanser suitable for all skin types. This formula is soap-free, non-irritating and rinses completely without the need for a post-cleansing toner or astringent.

By incorporating glycolic acid as a follicular cleansing agent, the skin is further prepared for other product application. Contact us for details.

SPF 30 Waterproof 2 oz. bottle or 2 oz. tube

Jan Marini Skin Research Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant SPF 30 Waterproof combines a revolutionary microscopic sponge encapsulation system, state of the art sun protection, a powerful antioxidant component and a superb hydrating complex.

Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant incorporates a combination of conventional sunscreening agents along with two newly developed non-chemical sun blocking substances that provide enhanced sun protection as well as exceptional skin recovery benefits. The result is a formulation that ensures continuous coverage for daily or extended exposure conditions with a broad spectrum SPF 30 rating that is also waterproof for times when perspiration or water sports may be a factor.

Unlike traditional sunscreens, Antioxidant Daily Face Protectant never feels heavy or oily, but instead gives a lasting oil-free matt finish that leaves facial skin with a soft silky conditioned effect as it aids in increasing and sustaining moisture content. Microscopic sponge technology involves using polymer spheres with huge numbers of interconnecting spaces that can entrap and absorb unwanted materials such as excess oils. Their nearly unlimited capacity enables the elimination of undesirable shine to be monitored continuously for all day control.
