*A 12-week, single center clinical study was conducted on 75 females with Fitzpatrick type I-VI, (50% of subject with sensitive skin), ages 25-55 and mild to moderate wrinkles, fine lines, pore appearance, rough skin texture evaluated by dermatologist. Efficacy evaluations were conducted at baseline, week 1, week 2, week 4, week 8 and week 12.
Although neuromodulator injectables are the standard for reducing contraction lines, some areas of the face are generally more difficult to inject. When paired together, neuromodulator injectables and P-TIOX work synergistically to reduce wrinkles through multiple mechanisms, thereby reducing the contraction lines in different areas of the face that neuromodulators alone do not treat. Physician-tested with neuromodulator injectables, P-TIOX maximizes wrinkles correction, while simultaneously improving texture and radiance.

Fall is an important transition period, with skin subjected to temperature variations and drier air. With less exposure to the sun, it’s also a good time to start a new routine to address a specific condition or correct traces left by the sun.
Here are 10 tips to help you take good care of your skin this season:
Look for moisturizers with richer formulas to prevent dryness or dehydration. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and natural oils are ideal. Also, remember to hydrate from the inside out with adequate daily water intake.
Use a mild cleanser to avoid further drying. Avoid alcohol-based products, which can aggravate dryness.
Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells, but don’t overdo it. Choose gentle exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or enzymes. Bear in mind, however, that exfoliating ingredients such as AHAs and BHAs can be aggressive to the skin. While they have many benefits, they can also increase sensitivity, irritation and redness. During the autumn months, when skin is already undergoing many changes, it may be time to reduce the use of chemical exfoliants and other powerful active ingredients. This is the time to take a break from intense treatments and focus on moisturizing and protecting the skin. You can continue to use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week, but avoid overusing it.
Incorporate an antioxidant-rich serum (such as one with vitamin C) to protect your skin from free radicals and boost its radiance.
Even in autumn, it’s essential to use sunscreen. UV rays can damage the skin, even on cloudy days. We recommend it 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Don’t forget to protect your lips with a moisturizing balm and your hands with a rich cream, especially after washing or before going to bed, for plumped-up lips and soft hands when you wake up.
Eat a diet rich in omega-3s, fruits and vegetables to nourish your skin from the inside out.
Incorporate active ingredients to address your main concerns, such as dark spots, redness, sagging, wrinkles or fine lines.
Listen to your skin’s needs and adjust your routine accordingly. Every skin reacts differently to seasonal changes. Consult skincare professionals to help you build your routine and choose the right ingredients for optimal results. They will also be able to give you precise indications on how to integrate new ingredients without pronounced side effects.
There’s nothing like a professional skincare treatment with active ingredients to get a new skincare routine off on the right foot. A crucial step towards clear, blackhead-free, deeply cleansed skin. The professional who performs your skincare routine will also have a very precise idea of your skin’s needs, and will be able to give you their best recommendations. Discuss which tools to use at home (ZIIP, LED mask, micro-needling, gua sha, cryo sticks…) to maintain results at home.
By following these tips, you’ll maximize your efforts to keep your skin soft and radiant during the autumn season. Discover all our Fall Favourites.
Retinol, a powerhouse ingredient in the skincare world, has been making waves for decades. But what exactly is retinol and how to best use it? We’ll explore how to harness its power and introduce you to Environ’s two new retinol additions to their Focus Care Youth+® Range.
From a chemical point of view, retinol is accepted as the basic form of vitamin A, because it is the smallest molecule of vitamin A and metabolizes into retinyl esters, retinaldehyde and, eventually, retinoic acid.
If you are looking for the following improvement to your skin overall healthier-looking skin, retinol might be for you:
– overall healthier-looking skin
– resilient skin
– improved appearance and texture of photo-aged skin
– improvement in blemish-prone areas
– a more even skin tone
For more than 40 years, it’s been Dr Des Fernandes’ life’s work researching vitamin A’s impact on skin health, expanding the intricate understanding of what happens to skin biologically and chronologically through life.
Science proves that the biological age of skin is vitally dependant on maximizing vitamin A micronutrition. The solid base of research supports Environ’s skincare philosophy and vitamin A as the key driver of skin longevity.
Dr Des Fernandes, Founder of Environ and world-leading Plastic Surgeon explains:
“The root cause of unhealthy skin is a vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is the normalizer of skin cell activity, which is why it is the cornerstone ingredient in our professional skincare philosophy. Cellular ageing is not fixed to the pace of chronological time – it can be sped up and slowed down. All the information needed to prolong the health span of skin lies within our skin cells, and where the skin can do the job itself, Environ doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Our unique algorithm supports the skin’s natural processes to achieve the desired result.”
Environ’s two new intensifying Retinol Serums are recommended as add-on boosters to daily vitamin A topical replenishment, introduced when the skin is acclimated to medium or high concentrations of vitamin A.
These fragrance-free serums are clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles, firmness, elasticity, hydration, skin tone and texture, working synergistically with the skin’s natural processes to affect a safe, effective, and balanced range of natural retinoic acid stimulation.
The new formulations intelligently combine retinol plus other retinoid forms to optimize the effects of natural retinoic acid on youthful cellular behaviour. Potent antioxidants assist in diminishing the effects of oxidative stress. Additional specialized boosters promote natural moisturizing properties and skin barrier resilience.
The New Tri-Retonoid Complex Retinol Serum and Retinol Serum Forte’s powerful formulation include:
Key Vitamin A Molecules – Tri-Retinoid
– Glycine Soya (Soybean) Oil, Retinol (Retinol) – vitamin A
– Retinyl Palmitate, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Tocopherol (Retinyl Palmitate) – vitamin A
– Retinyl Propionate, BHT (Retinyl Propionate) – vitamin A
Key Antioxidant Molecules
– Solanum Lycospersicum (Tomato) Fruit Extract (IBR-TCLC®) – antioxidant
– Inula Helenium (Elecampane) Extract (IBR-UrBioTect®) – antioxidant
Serum Forte additionally contains the following Retinoid Effect Boosters:
– Elaeis Guineensis (Palm) Oil (Revinage®) – plant-based alternative to retinol
– Aqua/Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pentylene Glycol, Pistacia Lentiscus (Mastic) Gum, Lecithin, Glyceryl Caprylate/Caprate (NovoRetin™) – boost naturally occurring retinoic acid in the skin
NOTE
Retinol Serum may be introduced once the skin is comfortable with daily application of medium to high levels of vitamin A.
Step up from Retinol Serum to Retinol Serum Forte only once the skin is fully acclimated to Retinol Serum.
Pre-cleanse, cleanse, tone with your preferred Environ products.
Application:
1. Introduce Retinol Serum by adding one drop of the serum to your Environ vitamin A moisturizer, 2-3 evenings per week.
2. Once tolerated:
• Gradually increase the amount of serum until one full pump can be used.
• Gradually increase the frequency of the application until it can be used every evening.
3. Slowly enhance the activity of the skincare routine.
Add one extra step at a time:
These intelligent combinations of ingredients work with the skin’s natural processes and have been clinically trialled and proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles, firmness, elasticity, and skin texture.
Environ’s clinical trials showed a statistically significant improvement in the biomechanical properties of the skin at 56 days*, and the longer you remain invested, the better the skin will be.

All Purpose Skin Cream by Egyptian Magic
It’s amazing for hydration, creating a stronger barrier, healing and leaving your skin looking dewy.
Vitamin-Infused Cream Blush by Tata Harper
A natural look that is good for the skin and gives a nice boost to a dull winter complexion.
Leave-In Treatment by Rahua
I love how this nourishes the hair helping any split or dry ends recover.
Delina La Rosée EDP by Parfums de Marly
Classy, feminine and anticipating spring.
Moisturizing Lip Butter in Pink Petal by Huna
To keep my lips hydrated all day long, I love reaching for this lip butter with skin-nourishing ingredients.
La Laque Tinted Lip Oil by Wonderblush
I love this tinted lip oil as it provides shine without stickiness – it feels great on my lips!
This is such a great addition to my haircare routine to promote thicker-looking hair.
Sunset Hour EDP by Goldfield & Banks
It smells like summer!
It is so light yet so hydrating and a great primer before applying makeup. It gives the most dewy and glowy look!
Lip2Cheek in Modest by RMS Beauty
It is so easy to blend, gives the most natural flush and is the perfect addition to an everyday makeup look!
Spiritualized Dry Shampoo by R+CO
I have never seen a product like this that refreshes hair without the heavy powdery feeling from usual dry shampoos. It adds volume and dimension back into my hair!
Casamorati Dama Bianca EDP by Xerjoff +
Molecule 01 + Black Tea EDT by Escentric Molecules
I have been loving Xerjoff’s Casamorati Dama Bianca layered with Escentric Molecules’ Molecule 01 + Black Tea. It has the perfect combination of sweet and fresh and is a recommendation I got from Emma, our fragrance specialist, to layer them! So gorgeous.
Super Anti-Aging Face Cream by Dr. Barbara Sturm
This absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves the skin looking fresh, youthful and radiant.
Cream Stay Eye Shadow Stick in Keepsake by Glo Skin Beauty
This cool-toned bronze with a metallic finish looks stunning as an all-over lid colour.
Intensive Hair Oil by Sachajuan
This nourishing oil repairs while adding shine. My hair absorbs it weightlessly without leaving residue.
Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP by Maison Francis Kurkdjian
A cult classic, I can vouch for its lovely, lingering scent that will get you compliments.
Without going into details, when the digestive tract is healthy, the skin glows!
Lip Karma in Chai by Sahajan + Le Fard Blush in Framboise by Wonderblush
This Lip Karma keeps my lips hydrated and the taste is delectable, like my fave drink! I have also been loving Le Fard Blush, specifically in the shade Framboise by Wonderblush. It is long-lasting, and a little goes a long way.
Cool Wind Perfect Air-Dry Crème by R+CO
This styling creme has a lightweight texture and feel, perfect for my fine hair. No blow-drying needed!
I love lighting this candle after work. It feels so cozy and relaxing.
This has been a game-changer in my routine! It has added so much plumpness to my skin and helped heal residual effects from a recent bout of atopic dermatitis.
Limitless Lash Mascara by ILIA
Most mascaras make my eyes water or they do not lengthen and volumize my very sparse lashes. This mascara has fixed all of that and the wand gets every lash.
I Don’t Know What by D.S. & Durga
Fun name and a conversation starter. Warm but not heavy, fresh but not zesty, and I get so many compliments on it.
The Rich Cream by Augustinus Bader
This is the cream I’ve been reaching for this winter. It keeps my skin soothed and moisturized, without leaving it oily.
This product acts as a skincare product and as a corrector for both the complexion and dark circles. A tiny amount is enough to neutralize the colour of dark circles and facial imperfections.
Biorepair Scalp & Hair Therapy Kit by Colorproof
When I was first introduced to Colorproof’s Biorepair collection, I was rather skeptical. After several months of use, I’m convinced of its effectiveness. The 3 products (and the brush) work in synergy to establish a healthy scalp and follicles, revealing thicker, fuller hair overtime.
The perfect soothing night cream to recover from retinol and acids during winter time, and it also prevents flaky dry skin!
Le Hâle Bronzing Powder | Soleil by Wonderblush
It creates the perfect faux sunkissed look without the skin damage… always wear your SPF!
The Leave-In Hair Treatment by Augustinus Bader
It repairs and tames frizziness for a smooth look!
Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood EDT & Molecule 01 + Patchouli EDT by Escentric Molecules
I’ve been receiving so many compliments from this mix! Getting stopped everywhere for compliments. The perfect duo to make an impression on your Valentine!
