Environ Skincare Ireland
Discover Environ skincare at Skin1 Pharmacy, an Irish pharmacy offering professional skincare advice and a carefully selected range of Environ products.
Environ is built around its Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™, a progressive skincare approach designed to help the skin gradually become comfortable with increasing levels of vitamin A alongside antioxidants, peptides and other supportive ingredients.
At Skin1 Pharmacy, you can shop Environ ranges including Skin EssentiA , Youth EssentiA , Focus Care Youth+, Moisture+, Clarity+, Radiance+, Comfort+, Body EssentiA and Environ cosmetic needling instruments.
Why Choose Environ Skincare?
Vitamin A is central to the Environ skincare philosophy. Rather than beginning with the strongest possible formulation, Environ uses a progressive system that allows the skin to become accustomed to increasing concentrations over time.
A complete Environ routine generally combines cleansing and toning with an appropriate vitamin A moisturiser or serum system. Specialist Focus Care products can then be added where required for concerns such as dehydration, visible ageing, uneven pigmentation, sensitivity or blemish-prone skin.
Environ Skin EssentiA – The AVST System
Environ Skin EssentiA is one of the brand's core vitamin A skincare ranges.
The range combines vitamins A, C and E with antioxidants and other supportive skincare ingredients. Its AVST moisturisers form a progressive system, allowing users to move through increasingly advanced levels as their skin becomes accustomed to vitamin A.
Popular Skin EssentiA products include:
- AVST Gel
- AVST Moisturisers 1–5
- Dual Action Pre-Cleansing Oil
- Low Foam Cleansing Gel
- Mild Cleansing Lotion
- Botanical Infused Moisturising Toner
- Hydrating Clay Masque
- Antioxidant & Peptide Eye Gel
For many customers beginning an Environ routine, Skin EssentiA AVST 1 is a natural starting point, although the most appropriate level depends on your existing skincare routine and previous vitamin A use.
Environ Youth EssentiA – Premium C-Quence Skincare
Environ Youth EssentiA is the premium Environ vitamin A range.
Its C-Quence serums combine vitamins, antioxidants and peptides and form their own progressive Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™. Serum 1 begins at the lowest level, followed progressively by C-Quence 2, 3 and 4. For highly experienced Environ users, the range also includes Intensive Serum 4 Plus.
C-Quence serums are designed to be used alongside Antioxidant Defence Crème, with Defence Crème Plus forming part of the most advanced Youth EssentiA routine.
Youth EssentiA is particularly suitable for customers focused on:
- Visible signs of ageing
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of firmness
- Dehydration
- Dull-looking skin
- Maintaining a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion
The range also includes Hydra-Intense Cleansing Lotion, Vita-Peptide Toner and Vita-Peptide Eye Gel.
Focus Care Youth+ – Targeted Ageing Skincare
Environ Focus Care Youth+ is designed to complement an established Environ vitamin A routine with more targeted skincare for visible ageing concerns.
The range includes combinations of retinoids, peptides and other specialised skincare ingredients designed to support smoother, firmer and more youthful-looking skin.
Popular Focus Care Youth+ products include:
- Tri-Retinoid Complex Retinol Serum
- Retinol Serum Forte
- Tri-Peptide Complex+ Avance Elixir
- Serience Night Serum
- Revival Masque
- 3DSynergé Filler Crème
These products are generally best introduced once the skin has already become comfortable with an appropriate Environ vitamin A routine.
Focus Care Moisture+ – For Dry and Dehydrated Skin
Focus Care Moisture+ is designed for skin that looks dry, dull or dehydrated.
The range provides additional moisture support while complementing your regular Environ vitamin A moisturiser rather than replacing it.
Popular Focus Care Moisture+ products include:
- HA Intensive Hydrating Serum
- Vita-Antioxidant Hydrating Oil Capsules
- Vita-Complex Super Moisturiser
- Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream
This range can be particularly useful when the skin requires additional hydration, softness and comfort.
Focus Care Clarity+ – For Blemish-Prone and Congested Skin
Environ Focus Care Clarity+ is the specialist Environ range for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin.
The products can be combined to provide cleansing, exfoliating and targeted cosmetic care while remaining part of a wider Environ skincare routine.
The Focus Care Clarity+ range includes:
- Sebu-Wash Gel Cleanser
- Sebu-Tone Clarifier
- Sebu-Lac Lotion
- Sebu-ACE Oil
- Sebu-Clear Masque
- Sebu-Spot Blemish Gel
For persistent, severe or inflamed acne, pharmacy or medical advice may be more appropriate than relying on cosmetic skincare alone.
Focus Care Radiance+ – Uneven Pigmentation and Skin Tone
Environ Focus Care Radiance+ is designed for skin showing uneven-looking pigmentation, dark spots and reduced radiance.
The products are intended to complement an established Environ vitamin A routine and help promote a more even-looking and radiant complexion.
The range includes:
- Multi-Bioactive Mela-Prep Lotion
- Intense C-Boost Mela-Even Cream
- Vita-Botanical Mela-Fade Serum System
Radiance+ products are generally most effective as part of a complete skincare approach rather than relying on a single pigmentation product.
Daily broad-spectrum sun protection is particularly important when addressing uneven pigmentation.
Focus Care Comfort+ – Sensitive and Stressed-Looking Skin
Focus Care Comfort+ is designed for skin that requires additional soothing, comfort and antioxidant support.
One of the best-known products in the range is Vita-Enriched Colostrum Gel, which combines bovine colostrum with antioxidant ingredients including green tea, vitamin C and vitamin E.
Comfort+ can be added to an existing Environ routine where the skin appears sensitive, stressed or in need of additional soothing support.
Environ Body EssentiA
Environ's Body EssentiA range extends the brand's vitamin and antioxidant skincare philosophy beyond the face.
The range includes products designed to moisturise, exfoliate and improve the visible appearance of rough, dry, uneven or lax-looking body skin.
Vitamin A, C & E Body Oil
A vitamin-rich body oil designed to nourish dry, sun-damaged-looking or uneven body skin while improving softness and suppleness.
Alpha Hydroxy Derma-Lac Lotion
An exfoliating and moisturising body lotion that is particularly useful for dry, rough areas such as elbows, knees and heels.
Tri-Complex Contouring Cream
A targeted body product designed to improve the visible appearance of firmness, dimpled texture and lax-looking skin.
Derma-Lac Lotion and Vitamin A, C & E Body Oil work particularly well together as part of a complete Environ body routine.
Environ Cosmetic Roll-CIT and Cosmetic Needling
Environ also offers cosmetic micro-needling instruments designed to complement an established Environ skincare routine.
These include:
- Cosmetic Roll-CIT – 0.1 mm micro-needles for the face and neck
- Cosmetic Focus-CIT – precision 0.1 mm points for smaller and difficult-to-reach facial areas
- Cosmetic Gold Roll-CIT – a premium gold-plated instrument with 0.2 mm points
Environ cosmetic needling instruments are intended to complement suitable topical skincare products and should only be introduced once the skin has been appropriately prepared.
They should not be used over compromised skin or where contraindications are present. Professional advice is recommended before beginning an Environ cosmetic needling routine.
Which Environ Product Should I Start With?
For most customers, the first decision is not which specialist serum or masque to purchase. The most important starting point is establishing the correct core Environ vitamin A routine.
Environ follows a progressive approach where users generally start at an appropriate lower vitamin A level and move upwards only when their skin is comfortable.
At Skin1 Pharmacy, we can help you choose between:
Skin EssentiA AVST
A core Environ vitamin A moisturising system and one of the most popular starting points for new Environ users.
Youth EssentiA C-Quence
A premium progressive vitamin A system with additional peptide and antioxidant support.
Once your core routine is established, products from the Focus Care ranges can be introduced according to your individual skincare concerns.
Environ for Ageing Skin
A typical Environ routine for visible ageing concerns may include:
- Core skincare: Skin EssentiA AVST or Youth EssentiA C-Quence
- Targeted care: Focus Care Youth+ retinol or peptide products
- Hydration: HA Intensive Hydrating Serum or Super Moisturiser where required
- Eye care: Antioxidant & Peptide Eye Gel or Vita-Peptide Eye Gel
The precise combination should depend on your current Environ vitamin A level and individual skin tolerance.
Environ for Dry or Dehydrated Skin
A hydration-focused routine may combine:
- Gentle pre-cleansing and cleansing
- Your appropriate AVST or C-Quence level
- HA Intensive Hydrating Serum
- Super Moisturiser where additional hydration is required
Focus Care Moisture+ is designed to provide additional hydration without replacing the core Environ vitamin A moisturiser.
Environ for Blemish-Prone Skin
For oily, congested or blemish-prone skin, products from Focus Care Clarity+ can be incorporated into an appropriate Environ routine.
Depending on the skin, this may include Sebu-Wash, Sebu-Tone, Sebu-Lac, Sebu-ACE, Sebu-Clear Masque or Sebu-Spot.
The correct combination depends on the degree of congestion, oiliness, sensitivity and other products already being used.
Environ for Pigmentation
A pigmentation-focused Environ routine normally requires more than one brightening product.
A comprehensive approach may include:
- Appropriate cleansing and skin preparation
- An established Environ vitamin A routine
- Selected Focus Care Radiance+ products
- Consistent broad-spectrum SPF
Products such as Mela-Prep Lotion, C-Boost Mela-Even Cream and the Mela-Fade Serum System can then be introduced according to the individual's skincare routine.
Environ Skincare FAQs
Is Environ skincare available in Ireland?
Yes. Skin1 Pharmacy stocks a wide range of Environ skincare with delivery throughout Ireland.
What is Environ AVST?
AVST is the progressive vitamin A moisturising system within Environ's Skin EssentiA range. The different levels allow the skin to gradually become accustomed to increasing concentrations of vitamin A.
What is the difference between AVST and C-Quence?
Both ranges use Environ's progressive vitamin A philosophy.
AVST is part of Skin EssentiA and combines vitamins and antioxidants within a progressive moisturiser system.
C-Quence is part of the premium Youth EssentiA range and combines vitamin A with peptides and antioxidants within a progressive serum system.
Should I start with Environ AVST 1?
Many new Environ users begin with a lower vitamin A level such as AVST 1. However, the correct starting point depends on your existing skincare routine, previous retinoid use and skin tolerance.
How quickly should I move up through Environ levels?
You should remain at your current level until your skin is completely comfortable. Environ is designed as a gradual progression rather than a race to reach the highest vitamin A concentration.
Can I use Environ retinol straight away?
Higher-strength retinol products are generally more appropriate as additions to an established Environ vitamin A routine rather than as the first Environ product for a completely new user.
Does Environ have products for pigmentation?
Yes. Focus Care Radiance+ contains targeted products designed to improve the visible appearance of uneven pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
Does Environ have products for blemish-prone skin?
Yes. Focus Care Clarity+ includes cleansers, exfoliating products, facial oils, masques and targeted blemish products for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin.
Do I need sunscreen when using Environ?
Daily sun protection is an important part of a good skincare routine, particularly when using active skincare products or addressing uneven pigmentation.
Can I use Environ Roll-CIT at home?
Environ produces cosmetic needling instruments intended for suitable home skincare routines. However, they should only be introduced once the skin has been appropriately prepared and should always be used according to Environ's directions.
Can Skin1 Pharmacy help me choose my Environ routine?
Yes. Choosing the correct vitamin A level and specialist products can make a significant difference to your routine. Professional skincare advice is particularly useful when starting Environ, moving up vitamin A levels or introducing retinol, pigmentation products or cosmetic needling.
