After having a few dry areas on my skin I tried the Jan Marini Bioglycolic Face Cream to help with resurfacing and helping my skin with hydration. I do suffer with acne scarring so I do like to incorporate resurfacing products into my routine. My skin barrier was in great condition before I started using this product as it is a stronger glycolic acid than I am used to using.

My initial thought on the cream was that I loved the texture; it is rich and thicker than I expected.  It is very silky and feels smooth on the skin. I used it in the evening once for one week and then built up to twice to three times per week for 4 weeks. This was enough for my skin as I didn’t want to over exfoliate and risk sensitivity.

When I initially applied the cream I did feel a tingling sensation which is expected for some resurfacing products. This sensation was overcome very quickly and my skin felt very nourished and glowing afterwards. I only used a pea sized amount each time and focused the cream on my entire face avoiding my eye areas and upper lip as this is a sensitive area for me. I only used this product in the evening as this slotted into my skincare regimen perfectly.

Over time using this product I have found that the texture of my skin is much smoother and the redness of my skin has diminished. I do feel it has helped with inflammation as well as improved the surface of my skin. The tone of some of my post-blemish marks has dramatically improved which I am very happy about. I will continue to use this product as a treatment product each week. This is to ensure my skin is being treated with anti-inflammatory ingredients and exfoliated adequately to remove build up of dead skin cells and retain moisture. Further, I would like the cream to last as long as possible as it is a higher price range than I would usually opt for. However, I have seen wonderful results, that I know with continued use, will benefit the overall health of my skin long term so it is most definitely a staple in my regular skincare regimen.

Overall another wonderful product from Jan Marini, the main take away is to build up usage slowly to allow your skin to get used to the treatment and to not disrupt the skin barrier. I would wholesomely recommend this as a nighttime treatment product to help with a multitude of skin concerns, especially those with a mature, dry skin in need of a glow up.
