I am a long-time Jan Marini fan, having used the Clean Zyme cleanser for years, as well as most of the Bioglycolic line. Recently, my skin has become very oily, and I thought the C-Esta Oil...

It pains me to have to write this but this is easily the worst Jan Marini product I’ve ever tried and it wasn’t cheap at £54 for a meagre 1 oz bottle. I haven’t seen any beneficial differences in...

This did smell good and made my skin soft but I could not get past how expensive it is. I don't use it any longer but if you like it and can afford it, it's worth a try.

This product is FABULOUS! I have very oily skin and I've been using this for 2 weeks now. It keeps oil away for hours and hours without making my skin really dry or dry looking. It shrinks pores...

I'm not totally certain I know the specific purpose of incorporating Vitamin-C into a skin regimen; however, I am totally certain that this product has helped with my oiliness. It has a pleasant...

I'm on my second bottle of the Oil Control C-Esta serum, and I really like it. I like that it feels hydrating on my shiny skin without contributing to the oiliness. I don't get any super mattifying...

Unlike everything else I've tried of Jan Marini's, this did not agree with my skin. I developed horibble breakouts after only a day of using it (much different than the benefical purging I went...

Not sure if I reviewed this before. If I did this is an update. It worked well for the first few weeks, brightening my skin and reducing age spots, and yes it did have a very mattifying effect. ...

The regular C-Esta serum broke me out and this one with oil control clogged my pores. The oil absorbing film from this product causes my skin to feel taut. Skin looks daul and tired while using...

This has the same ingredients as the original serum, but is formulated for oilier skins. I love the original serum, but wanted to try this for summertime use. I find that makeup goes on...
