Skincare Ingredients
1. What are the key active ingredients in Environ® products?
Environ products feature a range of high-quality, medical-grade active ingredients. These include potent antioxidants, vitamins, peptides, and essential nutrients designed to address various skin concerns and promote skin health. Specific ingredients can vary depending on the product and its intended purpose.
Vitamin A is Environ’s cornerstone ingredient. Dr. Des Fernandes, the founder, and scientific director of Environ®, explains, “Ageing skin is a direct result of sun-induced vitamin A deficiency. Correct the deficiency and you’ll have more radiant-looking skin.” The daily replenishment of vitamin A is pivotal for healthier, more resilient skin, and this has resulted in the pioneering creation of the world’s first Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™. You can read more about vitamin A and the STEP-UP SYSTEM™ HERE .
2. Are Environ® products suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes, Environ® formulates products with a strong focus on skin compatibility. While individual sensitivities can vary, many Environ® products are designed to be gentle and suitable for sensitive skin types. If you have sensitive skin, it’s recommended to consult with a skincare professional before introducing new products into your routine.
3. Do Environ® products contain retinol?
Yes, Environ is known for its innovative use of vitamin A, which is often derived from retinol. Vitamin A is a key ingredient in many Environ® products, as it offers significant benefits for skin health, texture, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, Environ® uses a controlled and gradual approach to introducing vitamin A, which helps minimise potential sensitivities. It is important to note that Environ® AVST Skin EssentiA® and Youth EssentiA® C-Quence Serums contain retinyl palmitate and retinyl propionate that does not make your skin sun sensitive and can be used during the day in conjunction with sunscreen and at night. You can read more about vitamin A and retinol here
4. Are there any products in the Environ® range for specific skin concerns like acne or ageing?
Yes, Environ® offers a diverse range of products tailored to address various skin concerns, including acne and ageing. For acne-prone skin, Environ has formulations with ingredients like salicylic acid to help manage breakouts. For ageing concerns, the brand’s focus on antioxidants, vitamins, and collagen-boosting ingredients can contribute to a more youthful complexion. It’s recommended to consult with a skincare professional to identify the most suitable products for your specific concerns.
As skincare needs can be individual, consulting with a skincare professional is the best way to determine which Environ products align with your skin type, concerns, and goals.
