How To Use

Application: Dispense a dime-sized amount (approximately 1-2 pumps) onto moistened hands or apply directly to wet or dry facial skin. The cleanser is highly concentrated, so a small amount is sufficient for effective cleansing.

Frequency: Use morning and evening as the first step in your skincare routine.

Timing: Gently massage over the entire face and neck area for 30-60 seconds. Adding water will produce a richer, more luxurious lather. Remove thoroughly with a clean, damp, wrung-out washcloth, then splash the face 10-15 times with lukewarm water. Blot dry with a clean towel.

Layering: Follow with C-ESTA Face Serum for enhanced antioxidant benefits and optimal results. May be used before any Jan Marini treatment products or as recommended by your skincare professional.

Expert Tips: For best results, allow skin to dry completely before applying subsequent products. The cleanser can also be used as an effective shaving gel due to its luxurious lather. When using post-procedure, wait until your skincare professional confirms it is appropriate to resume cleansing.

FAQ

Q: Can I use this cleanser after professional treatments like chemical peels or laser resurfacing?
A: Yes, the neutral pH and gentle formulation make this cleanser excellent for post-procedure use. However, always follow your practitioner's specific post-treatment instructions and only resume cleansing when they advise it is appropriate for your recovery stage.

Q: How does lipid-soluble vitamin C differ from traditional vitamin C cleansers?
A: Lipid-soluble vitamin C (Ascorbyl Palmitate) penetrates the skin more effectively than water-soluble forms whilst maintaining stability at a neutral pH. This means you receive the antioxidant and brightening benefits of vitamin C without the potential irritation, stinging, or sensitivity associated with acidic vitamin C formulations.

Q: Will this cleanser remove waterproof makeup?
A: Yes, this cleanser effectively removes makeup including eye makeup. For particularly stubborn waterproof formulations, you may wish to use a dedicated eye makeup remover first, then follow with the C-ESTA Cleansing Gel for a complete cleanse.

Q: How long will the 237ml bottle last with regular use?
A: With twice-daily use of the recommended dime-sized amount, a 237ml bottle typically lasts approximately 3-4 months. The highly concentrated formula means you only need a small amount for effective cleansing.

Q: Can I use this cleanser if I'm already using other vitamin C products in my routine?
A: Absolutely. This cleanser works synergistically with other vitamin C treatments, particularly the Jan Marini C-ESTA Face Serum. The lipid-soluble form in the cleanser is gentle and non-irritating, making it an excellent foundation for layering additional vitamin C treatments.

Q: Is this suitable for acne-prone or oily skin?
A: Yes, this cleanser is suitable for all skin types including oily and acne-prone skin. The formula effectively removes excess oil without over-stripping the skin, whilst the anti-inflammatory properties of DMAE and vitamin C can help calm active breakouts.
