More about Environ

Environ is a South African, world-leading skincare brand that works with Vitamin A as its main ingredient and its creator, surgeon, Dr Des Fernades believes that every skin can benefit from the use of Vitamin A and that it is essential for healthy skin.

Please note: Due to the active nature of the ingredients within the Environ® range, a consultation is required to establish the correct products for your skin. 

Vitamin A has many health benefits for the skin. South Africa skincare doctor Dr Des Fernades believes that an Environ product in the right dosage soaks deep into the skin. This helps to heal and repair not only the surface but also repairs the deeper layers of the skin.

Products can be used and tailored to all different types of skins. The brand stocks product categories such as cleaners, toners, masks, serums and eye gels that all yield great results with the product users. The Environ Youth EssentiA and Environ Skin EssentiA are very popular amongst users.

A leading South African based brand of skincare; Environ is known for leaving skin visibly healthier, smoother and radiant! Other brands of skincare can not compete with Environ skincare, and our team leads the way with treating and educating our clients about the benefits of retinol usage in skincare.

How Environ works

The Environ range works as a step-up system so everyone, unless you are very oily/acne-prone or very sensitive will start on AVST 1 as your day and night moisturiser, with SPF over your AVST during the daytime. When you have used up 2 bottles of AVST 1 you will then move up to AVST2 and so on. 

By introducing selected products within the range there are 12 steps and as you work your way up through these steps the level of Vitamins A, C & E increases with each level so you are always progressing with your skincare and not just staying at the same level. The range also includes a full range of items to suit each skin concern and need.

We would also always recommend consulting your Environ Therapist before considering moving up to the next level. This is to ensure that your skin type is responding well to the step-up process and getting the full benefits of the nutrients in our items.

Why choose Environ?

When compared to other brands, Environ skincare results in noticeable differences due to its Vitamin A content. Environ skincare recommends a consultation to help search for the correct Environ skincare product for you.

Environ takes everyone's needs on a one-to-one basis rather than generalising these into a few categories. Environ is a skincare brand that uses extensive research into the complexities of skin.

Our team have years of experience in skincare and are dedicated to a higher quality of skincare advice.

Popular Environ ranges

Our most popular ranges currently are found here on this website, as well as the latest product launches. Environ stock different categories of product. For more information on the most popular products read on!

AVST

Our AVST moisturiser is now better known as Environ Skin EssentiA, which is one of the most popular in our range. It is an award-winning anti-ageing moisturiser. The perfect gift to yourself!

It is unique because of its 'step-up' technology that allows the skin to build resistance and repair, while constantly progressing your routine to achieve results. Improvement can be seen on fine lines and discolouration. It also helps minimise signs of sun damage and ageing.

The product is available in different 'step-up' levels between 1-5 that you start on and build up from bottle by bottle. This technique, combined with the levels of Vitamins A, C and E and antioxidants is unique and keeps demand coming!

Youth EssentiA

Another Environ favourite is the Youth EssentiA, which is one of the most premium Environ products. It is a deluxe moisturiser designed for people who want to see a dramatic and quick improvement, leaving younger more radiant looking skin in a short space of time.

The Youth EssentiA menu of products contains high levels of Vitamin A for a quicker result effect. This should be taken on the advice of one of our trained consultants. The results from this range include more youthful skin. 

The range includes products such as eye gel, defence creams, serums and moisturisers. Available for whatever skin type you have.

Cleansers

Our range of cleansers is also very popular with clients. The Sebu-Wash is famed for its foam that lifts dirt to the surface of the skin without drying out the skin. This is important as a cleanser that dries the skin can result in it feeling tight and harsh.

How to use Environ for your skin type

You only have one skin and it is your first line of defence against the sun, the weather and all the elements we face daily. All skin is different and unique! Therefore different skin needs to be treated differently.

Skin can be categorised into four types; dry, oily, normal and combination. It can also be in between these categories and is therefore classed as combination skin.

No matter if you are targeting sensitive, dry, ageing, oily, blemish-prone skin or even pigmentation, a dose of Vitamin A could be the answer to achieving normal skin. 

Our trained experts will assess you to see what product will be the best first step in helping you achieve normal skin. Then you will start using products with a smaller amount of Vitamin A, and build this up over time.

Is Environ a South African product?

Environ was founded by Dr Des Fernades, a South African plastic surgeon. He and his team founded Environ which started in 1990 in South Africa. The company and products are based in South Africa. However, the products are available from stockists all over the world.

Environ is a globally recognised brand with a team that can give advice and information on all things skincare! 

A large number of profits from Environ products are donated to local hospitals, doctors and nurses in Cape Town!

Does Environ contain retinol?

Environ does use concentrated amounts of retinol in its products. Retinol itself is specially derived from Vitamin A. Retinol is added to skin creams as it boosts the amount of collagen in your body.

Collagen is important for your skincare routine as it leaves the skin looking more full and plump. It helps in reducing wrinkles and lines, as well as improving skin tone.

Environ know that it is important to balance the amount of retinol in products as too much can lead to dry and flaky skin. However, in the right amount, retinol results in the skin looking more radiant and plump.

Environ retinol products such as their serums are recommended for those who have used the moisturiser but want the more powerful benefits of retinol. Our advice is to speak to a consultant before deciding on skincare products with higher retinol.

You can then start the 'step-up' process by increasing your retinol build-up, allowing your skin to gradually adjust to higher levels of retinol in your skincare products.

What are the active ingredients in Environ products?

Although Vitamin A is the main ingredient due to its positive effects on the skin, it does not work alone and Environ products contain other vitamins and ingredients to achieve outstanding results

Environ uses Vitamin A, C and E, as well as Antioxidants, Peptides, Sunscreens, Alpha and Beta hydroxy acids, Vitamin B3 and B5 Hyaluronic acid. This combination of ingredients results in improved skin.

Skin loses its amount of Vitamin A due to light exposure. It is important to replenish and replace the lost Vitamin A. The combination of ingredients in our moisturisers and serums leads to several benefits such as:

• Youthful skin
• Hydrated skin
• Aids skin cell turnover
• Fades pigmentation

Is Environ suitable for all different skin types?

It is important to remember that all skin types are different. Environ caters for all skin types but to establish what categories your skin falls into and what Environ products are available for your unique type, you should first have a consultation with Environ experts.

Some products will be better for particular skin types. The three main skin categories are Oily, Dry and normal. You may fall in between some of these categories.

However, Environ stock items for all ages, genders and skin types and all products are made from high quality, fresh ingredients meaning they will benefit all types of skin.

Oily skin can be defined by a shiny appearance with a greasy texture and has overactive sebaceous glands. Dry skin can be defined as having a dull red appearance, especially on the cheeks with a rough texture and minimal sebaceous secretion.

Environ tailors products for your skin to achieve normal skin. This is characterised as having a normal texture, radiant appearance with no blemishes and the perfect balance of oil and moisture.
