AVST Range
The next generation of vitamin skin treatments and supercedes the Original Range. The AVST creams are produced in five varying strengths of vitamins A and C. All products contain antioxidants, flavonoids and penetrant enchancers while the higher levels also contain peptides to promote collagen and elastin formation. The 5 levels mean that users can move up through the sequence gradually, starting at 1 and progressing to 5, this enables skin to get used to the increasing strengths of active ingredients while gaining maximum long-term benefits abd avoiding potential retinoid reactions.
Medical research and extensive trials have shown that vitamin A has a corrective effect on skin, smoothing and softening it, whilst at the same time protecting it from the effects of ultra-violet irradiation and free radicals.
The most important activity of vitamin A is that it normalises the skin. It promotes the production of healthy collagen and elastin and improves the natural moisturising factors of the skin, leading to healthier, younger looking skin.
B-Active Range
The B-Active range is specifically intended for problem skin. Each product contains Australian tea tree oil for its antiseptic properties to help control bacteria and inflammation and most contain salicylic acid for its mild exfoliating properties.
Ionzyme Range
The Ionzyme range helps to nourish the skin with essential vitamins to delay the visible signs of ageing. It can be used together with the Original range to improve results, or can be used by itself. It has often been referred to as "Liquid Gold" in a bottle, because it is the most luxurious Environ treatment available.
Alpha Hydoxy Range
The Alpha-Hydroxy range is based on gentle, non-toxic Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) that assist in softening and smoothing the skin. The range also assists the natural exfoliating function, leading to a smoother skin with greater resilience and finer texture, whilst replenishing the skin's natural acidity. Skin becomes accustomed to AHAs by gradually adapting from milder to higher concentrations.
Intensive Range
The intensive range is designed to provide the skin with specialised intense treatments. The products are intended for use by those who wish to obtain maximum benefit from vitamins and nutrients for specific problem areas. Each product has special active ingredients that increase the rejuvenating effect on the skin, providing faster results. The range should be regarded as a supplement to the AVST and Ionzyme ranges.
Sun care Range
RAD SPF 16: A revolutionary sunscreen containing sun filters and sun reflectants that give SPF 16 to provide from both UVA and UVB irradiation. Also contains a free radical scavenging system consisting of antioxidant vitamins to combat the effects of the sun and pollution of the skin. Highly recommended for all skin types and suitable for all ages, including babies. RAD does not contain vitamin A.
Cosmetic Roll-CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy)
For home use, the Cosmetic-roll CIT dramatically increases the effectiveness of skin care products, allowing improved penetration of vitamins into the active layers of the skin. The Cosmetic-Roll CIT's micro-needles puncture the horny layer of the epidermis, allowing the active ingredients in the products to reach deeper into the skin far more effectively than topical usage alone. The more frequent the treatments, the better the results. The Cosmetic Roll-CIT is not painful and causes no damage to the skin, it is cost effective and can also last for several years.
Cosmetic-Roll CIT:
- Softens fine lines
- Tightens the skin
- Reduces the appearance of scarring
- Reduces pigmentation marks
- Encourages the disappearance of dilated blood vessels
- Thickens the skin
- Can be used on all areas of the face, neck and body
**NEW** Focus-CIT
An even smaller, more cost effective instrument, giving the opportunity for everyone to enhance the effectiveness of their skincare regimes. The hand-held tool enables you to treat specific areas, such as upper lip lines, lower eyelids, frown lines or individual pigmentation marks, and to reach places that are relatively inaccessible with the larger Cosmetic Roll-CIT roller. Recommended for use between two and seven times per week after cleansing and toning, ideal to take when travelling and easy to transport and store in its small tube container. It can also be taken along to professional treatments where the therapist can apply to key areas during the facial.
