An oil-soluble vitamin C cream aimed at the look of uneven tone, fine lines and sun damage.

Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is the oil-soluble form, which is stable where water-soluble vitamin C is not. Environ allows it at any stage of the vitamin A ladder, provided the start low and go slow principle holds.

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.
