Environ Skin EssentiA AVST 3 is the third stage of the Vitamin A Step-Up System. It provides a higher concentration of Vitamin A and antioxidants than the earlier levels, plus the advanced Matrixyl 3000 peptide complex, to further revitalise the skin and smooth the appearance of fine lines.

By this stage, your skin has developed a higher density of retinoid receptors and can process more active ingredients effectively. The synergistic blend of Vitamin A, Vitamin C and peptides works at a deeper level to firm, refine texture and support a healthy, resilient barrier — not merely mask the signs of ageing.

Suitable for skin that has completed 1–2 bottles of AVST 2 without sensitivity, and ideal for photo-damaged complexions and early signs of lines and loss of elasticity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How do I know when to move from AVST 3 to AVST 4?

A. Once you've comfortably used 1–2 bottles of AVST 3 with no sensitivity and your skin feels acclimatised, you're ready to step up to AVST 4. Never rush the system — stepping up too fast can trigger retinoid reactions.

Q. What's the difference between AVST 2 and AVST 3?

A. AVST 3 has a higher concentration of Vitamin A and adds the Matrixyl 3000 peptide complex for extra firming and line-smoothing, making it the natural next step once AVST 2 is well tolerated.

Q. Can I use AVST 3 morning and night?

A. Yes — it's designed for twice-daily use. Always follow with SPF in the morning because Vitamin A increases sun sensitivity.

Q. Is AVST 3 suitable for sensitive skin?

A. Because it's a mid-level Vitamin A cream, sensitive skin should approach it gradually through AVST 1 and 2 first. This built-in step-up is what makes Environ well tolerated.

Vitamin Step-Up System™

The Science

The science of Environ is built on the Vitamin Step-Up System™, a physiological approach designed to gradually increase the skin's "Vitamin A weight." As you move to Step 3, your skin has developed a higher density of retinoid receptors, allowing it to process more active ingredients effectively.

At this level, we introduce Matrixyl® 3000, a synthetic peptide that mimics collagen fragments. When these peptides are applied, they signal the skin that collagen has been lost, prompting cells to produce more collagen. This "synergistic brigade" of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Peptides doesn't just mask ageing—it works at the histological level to thicken the skin and restore its healthy, waterproof barrier.
