Jan Marini Skin ResearchMarini Luminate® Face Lotion- 1 Oz

I’m very careful about sunscreen and skincare. I highly recommend using this product everyday.

Great product

Highly recommend

Highly effective, quality skin lotion with lasting and noticeable results.There are a lot of beauty products out there with empty promises and high price points designed to trick you into thinking you're getting quality skin care, but this is one product that is worthy of commanding its high price. As another reviewer stated, this product actually has a patent on it, however I was unable to find any information regarding the proof of claims or that skin care would be considered a medical patent so I was unable to confirm that information. What I did find was that Jan Marini has several patents on their products and appears to be a skin care firm focused on creating products based in legitimate scientific research rather than randomized ingredient trial and error. I liked that.I ordered this because I have sun damage on my face that I'm beginning to suspect may just be too deep to repair. I've fastidiously used dermarollers, retinols, repairing serums, vitamin C, peptides, peels, and a thousand other things in a desperate attempt to rid myself of these 10 unsightly dark spots, which I believe to be the Grande Royale of skin problems: layered damage caused by both acne scarring and entirely too much sunbathing. Over the past year with intensive treatment, I've seen these spots lift maybe a few shades. Nothing dramatic. And in that time, I've noticed my eyes have begun to age, the skin papering around areas where before it was supple. Sigh.This is one of the only face products I've felt like not only lifted my scars a few shades on its own, without needing help from other products - but also it did a far better job of working some of the elasticity back into my eye area than ANY of my other products have, including eye creams. Including $100+ eye creams. Including deep treatments. It just works extremely well. I wish I'd taken a photo of the scarring at the beginning of treatment because of course while it is not erased completely, it has faded enough to make me feel that this cream does have an efficacy to it. This treatment DOES work.Now, you don't get a ton in the bottle. But you don't really need tons - a little goes on easily and spreads well, so you won't need to cake it on, and at this price I appreciate that. I rotate this with a few other products because I'm cheap and I want to stretch this wonderful cream as long as possible, but I feel like getting a month out of it with every day use (even including some around the eye area) is totally feasible. The best thing about this cream to me though is the relatively weightless texture. Despite having some heavy hitting moisturizers and providing some real results, this is a product that's fully capable of being worn during the day without weighing my face down. Impressive.I'm overall extremely pleased with this cream and would absolutely recommend it to others. It's pricey, but worth the spend, and you're getting real results in a jar. Five stars easily.

The Jan Marini Skin Research Luminate Face Lotion comes in a classy, easy-to-use pump bottle. You only need one squirt of the creamy lotion to cover the whole face. I really like the texture. It goes on easily and absorbs quickly. This is an evening cream (when first using it), so I put it on before bed and cleanse my face in the morning.So far, it has made my skin tones appear more even. My face looks and feels smoother and more hydrated. I try to apply this as directed, every other evening at first until the skin builds up a tolerance for more frequent use. So far, there has been no irritation. It contains retinol which can irritate skin if used too much.The Jan Marini Luminate Lotion is quite expensive. But like I said, a little goes a long way. If you're looking for a product that evens skin tones while moisturizing and minimizing wrinkles, this might be for you.Made in the USA~ Kort

No as potent as it should be

This face lotion by Marini does not come cheap at just over $100. It comes in a very stylish tube that will look great in every bathroom I have to say. I like that it is a pump dispenser that makes it easy to dispense the small quantities that you will need of this product, and trust me you will only need very small quantities which is great since it does not come cheap and therefore this will last you a good while.I found that this has a pleasant but mild fragrance so this will work for people who are sensitive to fragrances. I did not have any reactions to it so that is great. It is lightweight and absorbs into the skin quickly without leaving any residue behind which is nice so you can use it day and night. I didn't test it with any makeup since right now I don't use any of that stuff since I personally still use masks a lot.It is a very nice moisturizer which helps filling in any kind of wrinkles you may have or any fine lines. I am still observing if it helps with the brighten effect but I don't have a lot of darker spots so this one for me is tricky. I do like how my skin feels and looks when I am using this so all in all I am very happy with it.Keep in mind though, this does have retinol in it which makes your skin sensitive to light so make sure you use sun protection when you use this.

Not worth spending money on this product. Sadly Disappointed since I had high hopes. I will not buy this again!
