Why epicutis is different
Most skincare works on the surface — hydrating, brightening or temporarily plumping without changing what's happening underneath. Epicutis works at a biological level, targeting the root causes of skin ageing and damage using patented molecules that have been clinically tested and peer-reviewed.
Clean without compromise. Every Epicutis product is EWG-Verified — meeting the Environmental Working Group's highest global standard for ingredient safety and transparency. No preservatives. No unnecessary additives. Nothing that doesn't earn its place in the formula.
Minimal ingredients. Maximum concentration. The Lipid Serum contains just eight ingredients. The Oil Cleanser contains nine. This isn't minimalism for aesthetics — it's because every ingredient is present at a therapeutic concentration, and anything less purposeful has been removed.
Developed at Princeton University. The patented molecules at the core of the Epicutis range were developed through rigorous academic research. This is not marketing language — it is the foundation of the brand.
Post-procedure proven. Epicutis formulas are gentle enough for the most compromised skin — and powerful enough to be used as the foundation of post-procedure recovery protocols after laser, microneedling, peels and injectables.
Epicutis is a medical-grade, clean skincare brand developed in collaboration with researchers at Princeton University — where the science of skin inflammation was studied at a cellular level to create something genuinely new.
Every formula is built around patented molecules that have been clinically tested and peer-reviewed. Every ingredient earns its place. Nothing unnecessary makes it in.
Epicutis doesn't treat what you can see on the surface. It targets the biological root causes of skin damage and ageing — inflammation, barrier dysfunction, oxidative stress and microbiome imbalance — at a cellular level.
All products are EWG-Verified Clean, meeting the Environmental Working Group's highest global standard for ingredient safety and transparency. Minimal ingredients. Therapeutic concentrations. No preservatives. No compromise.
This is skincare that doesn't just make your skin look better temporarily. It makes your skin function better, long-term.
the key molecules
TSC™ — The Anti-Inflammatory Hero Epicutis' patented isoprenylcysteine molecule. Shuts down inflammatory signalling upstream — before damage occurs. Works against four major inflammatory cytokines simultaneously across three skin cell types. Clinically shown to reduce redness, protect collagen, balance the microbiome and support barrier repair. In clinical studies, dramatically reduced redness and dryness when paired with tretinoin — with no adverse effects. Found in the Lipid Serum, Lipid Recovery Masks and HYVIA Crème.
HYVIA® — The Hydration Breakthrough A modified chia seed extract inspired by Nobel Prize-winning aquaporin technology — the discovery of the microscopic water channels that keep skin cells plump and hydrated. HYVIA® reactivates these channels, delivering clinically proven 48-hour hydration from a single application. Also provides blue light protection. Found in the HYVIA Crème and Lipid Body Treatment.
ABSO (Arctigenin) — The Brightening Breakthrough A proprietary burdock seed extract that targets hyperpigmentation differently — by reducing the inflammation that triggers excess melanin production in the first place. More stable than Vitamin C, gentler on reactive skin, and clinically shown to deliver visible brightening results in as early as 8 weeks. Found in the Arctigenin Brightening Treatment.
AGSE — The Antioxidant Breakthrough Activated Grape Seed Extract developed at Princeton University, with antioxidant potency six times stronger than Vitamin C. Protects collagen and elastin, fights free radicals and supports the skin microbiome. Found in the Hydrobiome Mist.
WHO IS EPICUTIS FOR?
Epicutis was designed for skin that needs more than surface-level care. It is particularly suited to:
Sensitive, reactive or inflammatory skin conditions
Post-procedure recovery — laser, microneedling, chemical peels, injectables
Skin experiencing redness, barrier damage or chronic irritation
Anyone who has tried everything and found most products either ineffective or intolerable
Those committed to clean, science-backed skincare without compromise
Dry, dehydrated or mature skin seeking deep, lasting hydration
Anyone supporting their skin through weight loss or GLP-1 therapy
WHY EPICUTIS?
I chose to stock Epicutis because it fills a gap that very few brands address — the intersection of genuine clinical science and truly clean formulation. TSC is unlike anything else I have seen in skincare. The way it works upstream on inflammation means it is treating the actual cause of most of what we see on skin — redness, sensitivity, barrier breakdown, premature ageing — rather than managing the symptoms. After all, every skin concern is directly correlated to inflammation. I use it myself. I recommend it to my most sensitive and post-procedure clients. And I am genuinely proud to be one of the first Australian stockists.
