THE SCIENCE BEHIND VITAMIN A
Vitamin A is essential for skin health. Scientifically proven to support skin by normalising cell turnover, balancing sebum production, and maintaining a resilient skin barrier. It enhances skin renewal, supports collagen synthesis, and promotes overall skin vitality.
Dr Des Fernandes, Founder and Scientific Director of Environ, pioneered the professional use of vitamin A in skincare, recognising its vital role in skin health.
Environ’s formulations deliver this essential nutrient in a controlled and stable form, providing a science-led approach to nourish, normalise and protect the skin, helping it respond more effectively to environmental stressors and internal imbalances.
Vitamin A for skin
Dr Des Fernandes pioneered the use of high-dose vitamin A in cosmetic formulations. These groundbreaking products help protect against environmental damage, pollution, and stress while delivering visibly radiant, healthier-looking skin.
The Foundation of Healthy Skin
Our core philosophy centers on correcting vitamin A deficiency in exposed skin. We believe skin has a life and that vitamin A is the “oxygen” it needs to look healthy for life. Vitamin A is the only molecule that normalizes cell function for healthier, more radiant skin. When cells function effectively, they behave like younger cells, improving breakouts, pigmentation, firmness, and radiance.
As skin acclimatizes to higher vitamin A doses, it achieves balanced function and resilience while minimizing free radical damage for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
The Power of Vitamin A for Your Skin. Vitamin A is the key ingredient in maintaining skin health. When your skin has optimal vitamin A levels, you may experience benefits such as:
-
- Supports the Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) – promotes a healthy barrier function, leaving the skin looking hydrated and refreshed.
- Skin Normalising Vitamin – Forms the basis of a normal, healthy and well-functioning skin.
- Promotes Collagen and Elastin – Encourages the synthesis of healthy Collage and Elastin for firmer looking skin.
- Improved Skin Texture – Vitamin A is essential for maintaining the health in all layers of the skin and strengthens the skin’s protective barrier improving skin texture.
- Helps Improve Pigmentation – Normalises pigment distribution, leaving the skin more even in tone and appearance.
- Promotes a Clear Complexion – Normalises oil production leaving the skin more balanced.
- Supports Skin Immunity – Facilitates cells in the skin to function optimally maintaining a healthier looking skin.
“Vitamin A is the greatest deficiency in the world. Most people are unaware that they suffer from a chronic, localised deficiency of vitamin A. As vitamin A is light sensitive it is destroyed every day in our skin and that is the main reason we develop photoageing.”
