How long does it take for the Jan Marini C-ESTA Serum Oil Control to work?

You’ll notice the mattifying effects of the advanced oil capture system immediately, which last for hours. As for the anti-aging benefits, even with the best skincare products it’s normal to need at least a few weeks of consistent use before you see significant results. Your skin cells turnover every 28-84 days (depending on your age), so you’ll reap the full benefits of this Jan Marini serum once a completely new layer of skin cells has come to the surface.

How often should I apply the Jan Marini C-ESTA Serum Oil Control?

For best results, use this Jan Marini C-ESTA face serum twice a day, every day. Use it as part of both your morning and evening skincare routine. Thanks to the non-irritating form of Vitamin C included in the formula, you can also reapply the serum as needed for oil control during the day without upsetting the pH balance of your skin.

Are there any side effects of using Jan Marini C-ESTA Serum Oil Control?

As with any oil control product, you may notice a drying effect if your skin is not really oily enough to require shine-reducing ingredients. If you have combination skin, our skincare advice is to apply it to the areas that get shiny only. For other areas, or as an alternative product if you have a normal or dry skin type all over, you can use the original Jan Marini C-ESTA Face Serum which doesn’t include an oil capture system.

How is Jan Marini C-ESTA Serum Oil Control different than other brands?

Many oil control products are targeted at young, even teenage, skin and therefore do not take anti-aging into account. This Jan Marini serum is designed especially for those with more mature skin that is oily but also showing signs of age such as fine lines, wrinkles, and increased laxity. It’s a double whammy: dramatic anti-aging results with added shine control!

What is a good skin care routine for oily skin?

For oily skin, the best routine is one that’s all about balance. If you over-strip your skin, it will try to counteract the dryness by producing even more oil. So alongside using an oil control product such as this Jan Marini serum, it’s important to use a good moisturizer twice a day to keep your skin hydrated. A lightweight, oil-free formula with water-attracting hyaluronic acid is an excellent choice. Additionally, it’s essential to regularly exfoliate (2-3 times per week for oily skin) in order to unclog pores and help prevent breakouts.

Out of all of our Jan Marini skin care sets, the best one for oily skin is the Jan Marini Skin Care Management System Normal SPF 45, a 5-piece kit with absolutely everything you need for glowing, healthy skin – including an oil control sunscreen!
