Millies Expert Advice from Skincare Expert Edele:

The Skin Essentia line of AVST Moisturisers contain a blend of anti-oxidants A, C & E. These are present in each moisturiser level from 1-5. AVST contains vitamin A in the form of a high dose of retinyl propionate and our clients work their way up through the system to level 4 with progession still available after this step. AVST 4 contains antioxidants that help strengthen and protect the skin from free radical damage and UV damage, it also contains peptides that help firm the skin and improve elasticity. Apply 1-2 pumps to cleansed skin day and night. When using AVST 4 we should be rolling the skin regularly with the Environ CIT Roller to maximise absorption of active ingredients.

Is Environ Skin EssentiA AVST Moisturiser 4 right for me?

Choose this moisturiser if: your skin has already progressed through the earlier stages of the Environ Skin EssentiA® Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM® and you are ready for AVST Moisturiser 4.

It may be particularly suitable if: fine lines, discolouration, uneven-looking skin tone, visible ageing, visible sun damage or loss of radiance are among your concerns.
