Environ Skin EssentiA Vita-Antioxidant AVST Gel

Environ Skin EssentiA Vita-Antioxidant AVST Gel is the first vitamin A moisturizer in Environ's signature Skin EssentiA Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™ - a lightweight, water-based gel formulated with a low concentration of Retinyl Palmitate (Vitamin A), Vitamin C, and antioxidants designed to help acclimate skin to Vitamin A while delivering cooling, soothing hydration.

This cool, refreshing gel moisturizer is recommended for clients new to Environ, those who prefer a gel texture over a cream, and anyone with oily, combination, or breakout-prone skin. It can be used as an alternative to AVST Moisturiser 1 in the step-up system, providing the same Vitamin A introduction with a more breathable, non-occlusive finish.

At Le Petit Spa in Charlotte, NC, we often recommend this gel to clients with oilier or breakout-prone skin who still want the benefits of starting a vitamin A routine. Our estheticians appreciate how comfortably it acclimates skin before progressing through the Step-Up System.
