THE SCIENCE
THE SCIENCE
The Retinol Serum utilises a Tri-Retinoid Complex to provide a comprehensive approach to skin renewal. While traditional retinol products can sometimes cause irritation, this formula includes Retinyl Propionate and Retinyl Palmitate—esters that the skin can store and convert naturally, providing a steadier delivery of Vitamin A.
Clinical trials confirm that this specific formulation significantly improves "bio-mechanical markers," meaning it doesn't just make the skin look better—it physically improves skin firmness and elastic recovery.
HOW TO USE
HOW TO USE
Retinol Serum may be introduced once the skin is comfortable with the daily application of moderate to high concentrations of vitamin A.

I have been using the Environ retinols, together with AVST since 2012. I would use Retinol 2 generally and then step-up to Retinol 3 over the winter. This is my second bottle of the new tri-retinoid that replaced Retinol 2 - so far so good - and over winter I will try the forte that replaced Retinol 3. I also regularly use a derma roller.
Feels like it makes a difference over just using AVST.
Feels like silk on your skin
When used along side a roller absorbs straight away, appearance of fine lines and wrinkles much improved already
It sinks into your skin used with the moisturiser.
