Environ Focus Care Moisture+® Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream

Environ Focus Care Moisture+ Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream is a silky, lightweight 50 ml exfoliating moisturiser used in the evening to refine texture, restore radiance and smooth the skin while you sleep. Its AHA complex of lactic acid and glycolic acid encourages natural exfoliation of dead surface cells and improves the skin's moisture-binding capacity, while nourishing emollients keep it comfortable. Environ designed it for dull, rough or uneven skin.

Environ lists normal, combination, dull, dry and texture-irregular skin, and describes it as suitable for mild AHA users. Concerns covered include rough texture, dullness, uneven tone, congestion, dehydration lines and early signs of aging. If your skin is very sensitive, reactive or currently irritated, it is not the place to start; introduce gentler Environ steps first and add this once your skin is settled.

Pre-cleanse, cleanse and tone with your preferred Environ products, then apply the Alpha Hydroxy Night Cream and follow with your recommended Environ vitamin A moisturiser. Environ says to use it in the evening only, 2 to 3 times per week, and to reduce frequency during the spring and summer months when sun exposure is higher. Keep it away from the eye area and wear sunscreen the next day.

Two to three evenings a week, never in the morning, with fewer applications in spring and summer. At that pace a 50 ml jar lasts a good few months, although Environ gives no per-use figure. Skin usually feels smoother and looks fresher by the next morning, and the clearer, more even, renewed look Environ describes builds with consistent use over several weeks.

Environ places it as a Focus Care step layered under your vitamin A moisturiser, such as AVST Moisturiser 1 or your current C-Quence Serum. Environ suggests starting on the STEP-UP SYSTEM first, then adding targeted Focus Care products once your skin is comfortable. On off nights, a soothing moisturiser like Vita-Complex Super Moisturiser is a good complement. Sunscreen every morning.

Not on the same night as another exfoliant. Skip it on evenings you use the Revival Masque or the Mela-Fade serums, which also contain acids, and do not pair it with a separate glycolic or lactic product. Environ's own directions have you follow it with your vitamin A moisturiser, so that combination is intended. Patch test first, reduce frequency if you see redness or flaking and always wear sunscreen by day.

Because it is an exfoliating AHA product. Lactic and glycolic acid lift dead surface cells, which leaves freshly exposed skin more vulnerable to sun. Environ therefore directs you to use it at night only, 2 to 3 times a week, and to reduce that frequency in the brighter months. Whatever the season, a broad spectrum sunscreen each morning protects the smoother, more even skin you are revealing.
