A stable colloidal concentrate carrying three forms of retinoid, designed to be added into an existing Environ moisturizer rather than layered on top of it.

Introduction is deliberate. One or two drops, two or three evenings a week, building over a fortnight toward nightly use. Anyone who reacts drops back to alternate days until the skin settles.

Why we love it

Pre-cleanse, cleanse and tone. Introduce gradually by adding one to two drops, two to three times per week, to the Environ moisturizer in the evening. Increase the amount and the frequency after two weeks, working toward every evening. Reduce to alternate days if any sign of a retinoid reaction appears. Environ suggests two to four bottles per step before progressing.

CAUTION: The skin may feel uncomfortable when a retinoid is first introduced, and this transient irritation may recur at each step up. If an irritation develops, such as dry skin with a rash, reduce the frequency to every second, third or fourth day until the skin becomes comfortable.

Environ was founded in South Africa by Dr Des Fernandes, a plastic surgeon who concluded that most visible skin aging is sun-induced vitamin A deficiency. His answer was the Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM, a graduated ladder that starts at a low concentration of vitamin A and raises it only once the skin is comfortable, which is how Environ delivers retinoid-level renewal without the peeling and downtime associated with prescription retinoids. Every formula is built on that philosophy and sold only through trained skin care professionals.
