More impact, less irritation 🙌
If you’ve ever had a retinoid reaction, you’ll know it’s not fun. You’re using a product in an effort to improve your skin, only to find out your skin hates it (at least initially).
The good news is, there’s a better way. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A offering a wide variety of benefits for the skin, but not all vitamin A products are created equal!
Our recommendation is always to start first with an Environ moisturizer, all of which contain a form of Vitamin A known as Retinyl Esthers. This form of vitamin A is much better tolerated by the skin, allowing the skin to build up Vitamin A receptors and prevent reactions as you increase your “dose”. These moisturizers have multiple levels and, once you advance a couple of levels, you can safely add Retinol into the mix gradually to boost your results.
Environ’s Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum features 3 different retinoids (forms of Vitamin A), alongside antioxidants and skin barrier boosters to sooth and hydrate the skin. The Retinol Serum Forte, which can be used after your skin has successfully acclimated to the former, adds the value of two specialized retinoid enhancing products to further your results!
