General Catagory Information : C-ESTA Line (with DAE Complex)
Jan Marini Skin Research C-ESTA containing DAE Complex, is a revolutionary concept in anti-aging based on the first topical form of lipid soluble Vitamin C that is stable and able to be absorbed. C-ESTA is the culmination of years of intensive medical research by Nicholas Perricone, M.D. that has resulted in a patented delivery vehicle, combined with other essential stimulatory factors, that can actually address the appearance of sagging and redundant tissue.

It is an established fact that Vitamin C plays an essential role in every aspect of the skin's functioning including growth, maintenance and repair of connective tissue, protection from free radical oxidation damage, wound healing, collagen synthesis, and prevention of premature aging.
Researchers know that wrinkles, sagging skin and age spots do not appear because of a mysterious "aging gene". Rather, skin ages due to cumulative internal and external influences that prevent skin from duplicating and repairing itself perfectly. Flawless perfect skin is not a miracle, but the result of your cellular structure following instructions issued from an infallible set of blue prints. If these instructions could be carried through without interference, medical science has proven that adults would not appear to age after the age of 25. This is not science fiction, but rather actual fact that assures us that our youthful looks would hardly visibly alter throughout our entire adult life.
Collagen constitutes 80% of the dermis. In youth, the collagen structures that support the skin maintain a firm foundation that allows mobility and flexibility, but retains contour and tautness. In addition, water, oxygen and other nutrients travel efficiently through the network to reach the skin's cells and facilitate the excretion of waste products. We must continually remind ourselves that skin aging is not a process associated with a chronological number of the years of life we have lived. More correctly, it is not the years that matter nearly as much as the cumulative exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors. As the skin is subjected to these assaults, it loses its ability to reproduce exact copies of healthy cells, prevent the breakdown of collagen and elastin, repair tissue rapidly, prevent the attack of lipids in cell membranes, and finally, the skin gradually breaks down in general due to free radical damage.
Considering the critical role Vitamin C plays in every aspect of youthful healthy skin, it is important to remember that humans cannot manufacture Vitamin C. In humans, the total pool of Vitamin C is 1500mg. The average person must have a continuous intake of Vitamin C in order to maintain bodily functions. Skin is especially vulnerable to Vitamin C deficiency because Vitamin C is pulled from the skin to maintain other bodily functions. Physical or emotional stress causes even greater quantity of Vitamin C to be depleted from the skin.
Under clinical laboratory conditions, scientists are able to cause collagen synthesis as well as stimulate skin rejuvenation by transporting Vitamin C into cells. The obstacle to incorporating this into practical application is stabilization and absorption. First, Vitamin C in a topical product degrades or completely loses its potency very easily, especially when exposed to sun or heat.
This means that shelf life would be so short that it would be impossible for commercial marketing. Second, it is well recognized that Vitamin C is not readily absorbed through the skin, so even if high concentrations could be stabilized, the effectiveness would be minimal because it would only absorb into the outermost layers of the stratum corneum.
Jan Marini Skin Research has formulated C-ESTA using DAE Complex. This complex is the key to stabilization, absorption, and the ability to produce results beyond any skin care advancement currently available. C-ESTA containing DAE Complex also incorporates a second breakthrough discovery that addresses the appearance of redundant tissue. This technology is part of the DAE Complex and involves research on neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that allow the brain's messages to be executed into muscle movement. They are also responsible for youthful muscle tone that assists in maintaining firm facial contours. Medical studies have resulted in a revolutionary topical agent that when combined with Vitamin C results in the stimulation of certain neurotransmitters. This process actually addresses areas of facial sagging such as nasolabial folds, the forehead and jawline jowling.
