Environ Youth EssentiA® Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum 2

Environ Youth EssentiA Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum 2 is the second level of the Youth EssentiA STEP-UP SYSTEM, a lightweight, silky 35 ml serum with a medium concentration of vitamin A (retinyl propionate), vitamin C, vitamin E, the Matrixyl 3000 and Dermaxyl peptide complexes and antioxidants from green tea, rosemary and lycopene. It is for people who have comfortably finished Serum 1 and want more.

Anyone who has completed Serum 1 without discomfort. Environ lists it for all skin types, especially aging, sun-damaged, dull, uneven or mature skin with fine lines, wrinkles, dehydration, uneven tone or loss of firmness. Normal, combination and dry skin are tagged. If you are brand new to vitamin A, do not start here; begin at Serum 1 so your skin adapts gradually.

Pre-cleanse, cleanse and tone with your preferred Environ products, then apply Vita-Peptide C-Quence Serum 2 evenly to the face and neck. Environ directs you to use it morning and evening. Apply a thin, even layer; Environ does not specify a pump count. If you notice dryness or flaking in the first weeks of stepping up, you can slow to once a day and build back up.

A 35 ml bottle used morning and evening typically lasts a few months, though Environ gives no official per-use figure. Environ's guidance is simply to be comfortable at each level before stepping up, so finish Serum 2 without irritation before moving on. Expect smoother, brighter, firmer-looking skin to develop with consistent use rather than overnight.

Keep the Youth EssentiA framework around it: an Environ cleanser, Vita-Peptide Toner, Vita-Peptide Eye Gel for the eye contour and then Serum 2 on the face and neck. A Focus Care moisturiser can go on top if you want more comfort, and a daily sunscreen is essential because you are using vitamin A.

Not with another retinol or vitamin A product; Serum 2 is your vitamin A step and it is already stronger than Serum 1. Exfoliating acids can be used on separate evenings a few times a week if your skin tolerates them. Introduce only one change at a time, patch test anything new and reduce frequency if you see redness, flaking or tightness.

Same application, same 35 ml size and price. Serum 2 is the medium concentration of vitamins A, C and E with retinyl propionate. Serum 3 is the high concentration, adds retinyl palmitate alongside retinyl propionate, and is intended only for skin that has already acclimated to Serums 1 and 2. Finish Serum 2 comfortably before stepping up.
