Overview

The Environ company was formed in the 1990’s. This company specializes in the use of vitamin A as a key element for skin care. They began developing methods to reduce skin aliments caused by over-exposure to sun. Environ claims that other companies began developing vitamin A supplements; however it was all in very low dosage. The creators of this skin treatment line said that they realized that this ingredient can control damage and assist in healing poor or mistreated skin even better when used in higher concentrations. Dr. Des Fernandes is a plastic surgeon located in Cape Town, South Africa. He began his journey into skin care treatment when two of his patients died from skin cancer. Along with his sister, Val Carstens, they began developing a wide range of products to educate people about skin care.

These range from eye treatments to skin treatments as well as beauty supplements. An individual can find Environ’s fill list of products directly on their website.

The Bottom Line

The company claims that vitamin A is the key active ingredient in their products.

However, Environ is not very helpful when it comes to letting potential users obtain their product, and there is no way to find a retailer near you.

It would be helpful to know and understand who their certified dealers are as well and where they are located.
