/ Professional skincare brand Environ was founded by plastic surgeon Dr Des Fernandes in South Africa in 1990, a decade or so after he had pioneered the addition of vitamin A and antioxidants to the cosmetic products he made for his patients. Today -32 years later, with Environ having received over 100 international awards, having launched more than 140 products and having been distributed in more than 70 countries- vitamin A still remains a cornerstone of its philosophy. According to Dr Des Fernandes: “Skin ages due to vitamin A deficiency, vitamin A is lost due to sun exposure, so to have brighter and younger looking skin one must correct this deficiency daily.”

In addition to the innovative Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™ product system in which the vitamin A content is gradually increased, in addition to the basic Essential Care, Focused Care and Even More Care ranges and their several sub-ranges, Environ also provides two non-invasive technologies for its facial treatments: a) the Cool Peel technology for rejuvenation, perfecting and radiance and b) the pioneering Electro-Sonic Ionzyme® DF Machine for an even greater penetration of the necessary nutrients into the skin.
