Vitamin A
Why Vitamin A
Vitamin A is as essential for the skin as oxygen and water are for the human body. When a child is born, the skin has a natural balance of vitamin A, but this gradually deteriorates due to UV radiation, air pollution, and various lifestyle factors. Almost every adult suffers from a vitamin A deficiency, which causes the skin to age faster than it should and leads to a variety of other issues.
Signs of vitamin A deficiency in the skin include wrinkles and fine lines, dullness, rough texture, loss of elasticity and firmness, uneven skin tone and pigmentation spots as well as impurities, acne, and rosacea. In order for us to help combat this vitamin A deficiency, we must replenish vitamin A in our cells every day.
Environ Essential Care moisturisers are formulated with the unique Vitamin STEP-UP SYSTEM™, gradually increasing levels of vitamin A along with other essential vitamins and antioxidants.
The Benefits of Vitamin A
Vitamin A has a comprehensive impact on overall skin health. Its effectiveness begins at the cellular level, where it stimulates the growth, differentiation, and maturation of epidermal stem cells into healthy skin cells.
Vitamin A works on multiple levels to transform the skin from within. It speeds up cell renewal, strengthens the skin’s surface, and improves moisture retention by thickening the epidermis. Skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant as collagen and elastin quality improve, fine lines fade, and pigmentation evens out. Vitamin A also helps normalize oil production, support the skin’s immune system, and boost circulation—delivering vital nutrients to where they are needed most.
