When it comes to skincare, Evolution Aesthetics has always believed in one guiding truth: your barrier matters. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce a new partner in our education-first, science-based approach—Environ Skincare and their groundbreaking Skin EssentiA® Range.
For decades, Environ has been recognized globally as a leader in results-driven skincare, rooted in science, research, and education. Founded by renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Des Fernandes, Environ was built on a simple yet powerful philosophy: Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin. Today, Evolution Aesthetics brings this philosophy to Palmer and the Mat-Su Valley with the Skin EssentiA® Range, a system designed to reveal natural beauty through a safe, gradual, barrier-friendly process.
Why Environ?
Environ isn’t just another skincare brand—it’s a global pioneer in professional-grade, results-focused formulations. Dr. Fernandes founded Environ after witnessing firsthand the damage that UV radiation and Vitamin A deficiency could cause to the skin. His breakthrough research showed that consistent application of Vitamin A could reverse visible signs of damage while restoring the skin’s natural health and vitality.
Unlike quick fixes that strip, sensitize, or over-correct, Environ products are designed to work with the skin’s natural processes. At Evolution Aesthetics, this makes Environ the perfect match for our barrier-first philosophy. We share the belief that healthy skin comes from strengthening the foundation—not overloading it with harsh or aggressive treatments.
The Power of Vitamin A
Vitamin A is often called the “skin vitamin”—and for good reason. It’s essential for nearly every cellular function in the skin. When applied consistently, Vitamin A helps to:
Support cell turnover for smoother, fresher-looking skin
Improve hydration by boosting the skin’s natural ability to retain moisture
Reduce the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture
Restore radiance and balance for a healthy, youthful glow
The challenge? Skin needs time to adjust to Vitamin A. Using too much, too quickly can overwhelm the barrier and cause irritation. Environ solved this problem with their unique STEP-UP SYSTEM™—a gradual approach to nourishing the skin with increasing levels of Vitamin A.
The Environ STEP-UP SYSTEM™
The hallmark of Environ’s Skin EssentiA® line is the Vita-Antioxidant AVST Moisturizer system. Numbered 1 through 5, each level contains progressively higher concentrations of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, plus a blend of antioxidants and botanicals.
Here’s how it works:
Start Low, Go Slow: Clients begin with AVST 1, the gentlest formula, to allow the skin to adapt.
Step Up Safely: Over time, as tolerance builds, you move to the next moisturizer in the system.
Barrier-Friendly Results: This measured progression ensures visible results without compromising comfort or skin health.
This process makes Environ one of the safest and most effective ways to introduce active vitamins into your daily skincare—ideal for both beginners and seasoned skincare enthusiasts.
Meet the Skin EssentiA® Range
While the AVST moisturizers are the stars of the line, the Skin EssentiA® range also includes complementary cleansers and toners —all designed to support skin health, hydration, and resilience. Together, they provide a full routine that prioritizes nourishment, protection, and gradual correction.
At Evolution Aesthetics, we’ll guide you through the best way to integrate these products into your existing routine. Whether you’re addressing dryness, dullness, early signs of aging, or simply looking to strengthen your barrier, Skin EssentiA® offers a system that adapts with you.
Aligned with Our Barrier-First Philosophy
At Evolution Aesthetics, every treatment, every recommendation, and every product we carry is chosen with one filter: Does this support the skin barrier?
The Skin EssentiA® line answers that with a resounding yes. By delivering active vitamins and antioxidants in a gradual, barrier-respecting way, Environ perfectly aligns with our mission to provide sustainable, long-term results. Instead of chasing short-lived trends, Skin EssentiA® builds a foundation for lasting skin health.
