What are the benefits of vitamin A?
The cornerstone of Environ treatments is vitamin A. Extensive scientific research and trials have shown that vitamin A has a corrective effect on skin, smoothing it and softening it, protecting it from the effects of ultraviolet radiations and free radicals. Its most important activity is to normalise the function of the skin. It promotes the production of healthy collagen and elastin and improves the skin’s natural moisture, leading to healthy, younger looking skin.

All levels contain antioxidants, including vitamin C and E, resveratrol, green tea, beta-carotene and honeybush extracts to help neutralise free radical damage.
