There is no such thing as a quick fix when it comes to achieving healthy, beautiful skin.
Since ancient times we have tried to improve our skins and hide the effects of ageing. Today in most chemists we are offered the promise of a miracle in a jar, but the truth is that many mid-range creams have very similar basic ingredients - and have done for years.
The groundbreaking moment for skincare has been the introduction of vitamin A. This vitamin benefits sun damaged skin - the main ageing culprit. Prominent Cape Town plastic surgeon Dr. Des Fernandes was a pioneer in this field, using vitamin A in doses high enough to actively improve the quality of the skin. He developed an interest in the the mechanics of skin, especially sun damaged skin, following the untimely deaths of two of his patients due to melanoma.
Through intensive research into the role of vitamin A, he created treatments that would maintain healthy skins. Out of this, the Environ® range was born.
At its heart, Environ's® mission it to provide proven, cutting edge technology and sound skin science principles in its skincare. Environ is for women, men, children, in all walks of life and for all skin types and ethnicities.
It's never too young to start caring for your skin, so invest in it now for great future returns.
Environ is also incredibly effective as an acne treatment
or for problem skin.

The treatment can be tailored to individual skin types and for skin conditions such as:
- Photo-damaged skin (wrinkles)
- Dry skin
- Young skin
