ENVIRON - Youth EssentiA - C-Quence Serum 2

What does it contain and what does it do?
Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum 2 is the second step in the premium Environ Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™ and contains a medium concentration of vitamins A and C. The advanced serum contains a powerful combination of ingredients that work in synergy to help combat the visible signs of aging. The goal is more even, smoother and healthier looking skin that appears youthfully radiant.

Who should use it?
Suitable for all skin types and ages, but especially for mature, photodamaged skin. Only use if the skin is already accustomed to the Youth EssentiA Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum 1.

What is the product benefit?
• The combination of the Antioxidant Defence Crème with the Vita-Peptide C-Quence serums of the Environ Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™ delivers extensive benefits for the skin through the special combination of different peptides with vitamins and antioxidants.
• Topical vitamin A has been shown to replenish intracellular vitamin A reserves needed for various anti-aging processes.
• Retinyl Propionate – a gentle ester form of vitamin A with anti-aging effects.
• Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate): A highly absorbable and very active oil-soluble form of vitamin C. Powerful antioxidants that help prevent UV-related cell damage.
• Plays an essential role in improving uneven skin tone caused by UVA radiation.
• Has an anti-aging effect as it helps the skin to produce better collagen.
• Vitamin E is found in the forms of tocopheryl acetate and the most effective form, tocopherol – the natural alcohol form of vitamin E. They help fight free radicals and improve the skin's own photoprotection. They also help protect the collagen in the skin and make the skin look younger.
• Lycopene is a carotenoid, the main source being tomatoes. It is a powerful antioxidant and scientific studies show that it is more than 100 times more effective than vitamin E and twice as powerful as beta carotene. It helps protect the skin from the damage of very high energy blue light.
• Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 + Palmitoyl Oligopeptide (Matrixyl® 3000) is a synthetic combination of five natural amino acids that is just as effective as retinol but has the advantage of not irritating the skin.
• Palmitoyl Oligopeptide + Ceramide NG (Dermaxyl®) rehydrates the skin and helps improve sun-damaged cells. The skin appears plumped, reducing the appearance of fine lines and making the skin look smoother. Dermaxyl® is a combination of six natural amino acids found in the body, which makes them very well tolerated.
• Pure Epigallocatechin Gallate, an active ingredient in green tea, is perhaps the most potent antioxidant, helping to reduce the effects of sun-damaged skin.
• Rosemary leaf extract is another powerful antioxidant.
• The sunscreen Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnate acts as a preservative and helps to limit the effects of UV radiation during storage and application of the product, ensuring longer stability.
• A moisturizing combination of Jojoba Esters and Hydroviton®, an advanced moisturizing complex, completes the comprehensive serums with even stronger moisturizing properties for an improved skin feel.
• A variety of antioxidants as well as BHT help to preserve the integrity of the active Youth EssentiA ingredients by preventing autoxidation during storage.
