We recommend that consumers with sensitive skins use low doses of vitamin A before introducing Intense C-Boost. Pre-cleanse, cleanse and tone with your preferred Environ products. First apply Mela-Prep Lotion to darkened areas of the skin, morning and evening, then mix equal amounts of Serum A and Serum B in the palm of the hand, gently massage into the pigmented areas of the skin morning and evening.
Cosmetic needling prior to the application of the Mela-Prep Lotion and Mela-Fade Serum System is recommended for advanced Environ users in the evening. Love this cream My skin is brighter with dark spots lightened.
This cream also provides wonderful daytime antioxidant protection along with your sunscreen. I have experienced 2 Environ facials prior to choosing to stock the product with the DF machine - it was this experience that clinched it for me.
I really believe the machine is what sets the Environ treatments apart from anything else out there. That said the products are a fantastic stand alone product that you will still achieve fab results with a manual facial. Because of the vitamins within the creams, it is possible to have some sensitivity whilst acclimitising the skin. Thats why all clients must start on the debut moisturiser and build up the intensity of the vitamins as they progress up through the range.
Symptoms of sensitivity can include topical itchy red areas. However most clients acclimitise fairly quickly and should be encouraged to push through the "settling in" period. I wouldn't hesitate to say go for it - the results speak for themselves - a true anti ageing "treatment" from a cosmeceutical range. Remember it is not just your typical beauty salon pamper facial!

Unfortunately i dont have the funds as i'm a mobile therapist. Though it is going to be my next investment!! I do 2 facials with the products, an express facial, cleanse, tone, steam, mask and moisturise and a luxury facial, back mass, cleanse, tone, steam, massage, mask and moisturise.
I've had no complaints from my clients as they are results driven. Those who have the facials want to buy the products so i'm putting that money aside so as to buy the machine. The Environ range is great, i did a bit of research before going ahead with it and even though its mostly fragrance free most of my clients have been used to highly fragranced products like Decleor!
I've also been using the products. I suffer with rosacea and have always had the usual monthly outbreak. I'd just say go for it! Hi there Sorry to step in to this chat, but I have been using the environ classic cream and c boost.
My dermatologist advised me to see if my skin calms down if I stop altogether, and it has, its never looked better except for fine lines so it must of been a retinol reaction. But he did say dont loose faith and I need to go back to the drawing board and start on the debut, Im a bit concerned to try it again, due to cost and my skin looking like it did, any advice on this product should I give the debut a go?
Martigirl Well-Known Member. According to manufacturer info , it's also a moisturizer and helps to make the product feel great on the skin. It works synergistically with preservatives and helps to improve water-resistance of sunscreens. If you have pigmentation issues, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine is something to look at. It is an amino acid Phenylalanine derived molecule that is thought to hinder the pigmentation process in a unique way by being a so-called MSH-antagonist.
MSH stands for Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone , and as you have probably guessed by its name, it is important in the process of melanogenesis, i. MSH binds to a receptor on the melanocyte the skin cell that creates melanin called Melanocortin 1 Receptor MC1R , which kicks off a bunch of biological processes that result in the formation of pigment. Our guy, Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine can hinder this binding and thus the whole melanin creation process afterward.
The efficacy of the molecule is definitely promising. The manufacturer did several in-vitro in test tubes and in-vivo on people tests and found Undecylenoyl Phenylalanine to be more effective than a bunch of well-known skin-lightening molecules, such as arbutin , kojic acid or MAP the vitamin C derivative.
A nice odorless liquid used mainly as a superior solubilizer and efficacy booster for cosmetic active ingredients such as skincare bigshot vitamin C , self-tanning active DHA or the anti-acne gold standard, benzoyl peroxide. Other than that it can also be used in hair care products where it gives a longer-lasting and more uniform coloring.
According to a manufacturer, it might even prevent the formation of split ends. The distillate created from different parts of the hazelnut-bush-like magic tree, commonly called Witch Hazel. Hamamelis Virginiana Water is a bit of a sloppy ingredient name as the leaves, the twigs and the bark can be used to create extracts or distillates and the different parts contain different amounts of biologically active components.
But what you are getting is probably a nice water with astringent, soothing, antioxidant and antibacterial magic properties. We went into great detail about Witch Hazel in cosmetics here , detailing the main biologically active components and how they are different in different parts of the plant. Simply alcohol refers to ethanol and it's a pretty controversial ingredient. It has many instant benefits: it's a great solvent, penetration enhancer , creates cosmetically elegant, light formulas , great astringent and antimicrobial.
No wonder it's popular in toners and oily skin formulas. The downside is that it can be very drying if it's in the first few ingredients on an ingredient list. Some experts even think that regular exposure to alcohol damages skin barrier and causes inflammation though it's a debated opinion.
If you wanna know more, we wrote a more detailed explanation about what's the deal with alcohol in skincare products at alcohol denat. We don't have description for this ingredient yet. It's a little helper ingredient that helps to set the pH of the products to be right. It has an alkaline pH and can neutralize acidic ingredients. Login Register. Follow us on our new Insta page ».
