It’s formulated with a powerful malachite-neuropeptide complex, containing malachite extract, which offers antioxidant benefits; neirophroline for tackling dullness; argireline amplified to target the effects of fatigue and post-expression muscle relaxation; and matrixyl morphomics, a peptide proven to smooth the appearance of frown lines. The Environ research and development team said: “We were inspired to create a powerful formulation to answer the needs of modern-day consumers living highly stressful lifestyles. The development of Seriénce rapidly progressed when the specialised combination of new, innovative and active ingredients, which are scientifically proven to individually address the visible signs of tired and stressed skin, were sourced and secured exclusively for Environ.”
