Environ Skincare

The Environ Skincare range is a powerful example of the difference one person
can make when they allow tragedy to become the catalyst to create something
transformative.

Several decades ago, Dr Des Fernandes, a promiment Cape Town plastic surgeon,
was devastated when two charismatic young patients died of skin cancer in their early
twenties despite his best efforts to treat them. This tragic loss left an indelible mark
on Dr Fernandes life and career, and he began to intensively study the skin and in
particular the mechanism of skin cancer. The Environ Skincare range was born in 1990
and established Environ as a world leader in skin care in the decades that followed.

What Is Environ Known For?

Pioneering Significant Doses of Vitamin A in Skincare

The inclusion of significant levels of vitamin A in skincare formulations is common
place these days among professional skincare ranges, but it was not always so. Dr
Des Fernandes was actually the first person in the world to introduce vitamin A in high
effective doses into skincare formulations, heralding a new era in the treatment of sundamaged
skin.

Vitamin Step Up System

Environs’ AVST unique step-up moisturiser system works by slowly increasing the
levels of vitamin A and other essential vitamins and antioxidants in your moisturiser
to ensure that your skin adapts to the active elements in a safe and healthy manner.
Beginning with an AVST Level 1 moisturiser and working up to AVST Level 5, we guide
your skin on its journey to a soft glowing appearance one step at a time.

What We Love About Environ

• Some of our all-time favourite products in the clinic are Environ products! (See
  the RAD sunscreen and C-Quence Eye Gel below). Vitamin A is the most important
  factor in anti-aging, so we love the high, effective doses that Environ supplies. The
  skin can protest with redness and irritation if your skin is not acclimatized to Vitamin A properly, so we think the AVST step-up system is brilliant.
• Environ is also a great range for dealing with acne. The magic of Vitamin A is
  that it regulates oil flow, so while it increases oil flow for dry, mature skins, it is also brilliant at reducing oil production on acne-prone skins.

Is Environ Right For You?

Environ is a very versatile range and suitable for most people. It is particularly
beneficial for women with sun-damaged skin, which to be honest, is most women in the
Bay of Plenty!

If anti-aging treatment and prevention is important to you, then we highly recommend
Environs’ AVST step-up system. If your skin is challenged with acne, a combination of
the AVST moisturisers with cleansers and spot-treatments from the B-Active range can
be very effective.
