Jan Marini

Jan Marini is a professional skincare brand founded in 1994 in San Jose, California, by Jan Marini — a researcher with more than 40 years of experience in dermatological active ingredients. The brand is built on Bioglycolic® glycolic acid technology and C-ESTA® — the first stable topical vitamin C system introduced to the market.

Fifteen patents, five peer-reviewed publications in the prestigious Journal of Drugs in Dermatology and the trust of dermatologists worldwide attest to the brand’s scientific rigour. Available in our online shop and in person at the Skinmedik salon in Riga.

Why choose Jan Marini skincare?

Jan Marini has a simple philosophy: efficacy that can be measured. All products are developed based on medically peer-reviewed research, clinically tested before being brought to market and supported by 15 patents. The brand was the first to introduce professional-grade glycolic acid to the market, the first to offer a stable topical vitamin C system, and the first to establish a clinically validated eyelash care category. Every formulation decision is based on data from dermatology, oncology and plastic surgery journals.

The collection includes products that provide:

  • Surface renewal. The Bioglycolic® glycolic acid range — cleansers, lotions and body scrubs — is clinically proven to refine texture and stimulate collagen synthesis.
  • Antioxidant protection and radiance. C-ESTA® provides stabilised L-ascorbic acid, which actively combats free-radical damage and evens pigmentation without the risk of oxidation.
  • Anti-ageing volume restoration. A complex of growth factors and peptides (EGF, FGF, SH-polypeptides) stimulates cellular renewal and supports skin volume — with visible results within 6 weeks.
  • Hydroquinone-free hyperpigmentation correction. The Luminate™ formula clinically outperformed hydroquinone in reducing pigmentation, while maintaining good tolerance for sensitive skin.

The Jan Marini legacy

Founder Jan Marini began formulating products by hand in the late 1980s, discovering glycolic acid in a New York pharmacy at a time when it was still used in industrial cleaning processes. She sold the first physician-used line — MD Formulations — to Allergan and immediately founded Jan Marini Skin Research in San Jose in 1994. More than 40 years of personal research experience, five publications in the peer-reviewed Journal of Drugs in Dermatology and more NewBeauty awards than any other skincare brand attest to the credibility of her approach. In 2025, the brand began rebranding as Marini SkinSolutions, but the formulas and scientific rigour remain unchanged.
