Epionce

Epionce was founded by Dr. Carl Thornfeldt, a US dermatologist who spent years researching skin barrier function. The brand's formulas prioritize repairing and maintaining the lipid barrier rather than relying on high-concentration actives that can irritate sensitive skin. Botanical plant extracts form the base of most products, chosen for their ability to support barrier function without the irritation profile of synthetic actives at high concentrations.

The products at skinsli represent a cross-section of the Epionce range: cleansers, a toner, a priming oil, targeted treatments for the eye area, a face cream, and body care. The brand is not Korean; it is manufactured in the United States and sold through dermatology offices and specialty retailers.

Epionce offers three cleansers in this assortment, each suited to a different skin type. The Gentle Foaming Cleanser 170ml produces a light foam and suits normal to slightly oily skin. It removes makeup and daily buildup without stripping the skin's moisture. The Milky Lotion Cleanser 170ml is a cream-style cleanser with no foam; it suits dry, sensitive, or mature skin that needs moisture preserved during cleansing. The Ritic Gel Cleanser 170ml is a gel-to-foam formula with slightly stronger cleansing action, suited for oily, combination, or acne-prone skin.

All three are pH-balanced to avoid disrupting the acid mantle. If you are unsure which to start with, the Gentle Foaming Cleanser is the middle ground; switch to Milky Lotion for persistent dryness or to Ritic Gel if you find your skin stays congested.

The Purifying Toner 120ml removes any remaining cleanser residue and begins the prep step for serums and moisturizers. In Epionce's formulation philosophy, the toner is not a harsh astringent; it is a light liquid that refines the surface and helps subsequent products absorb more evenly. Use it after cleansing by applying with a cotton pad or patting directly onto the skin.

The Purifying Toner pairs naturally with any of the three Epionce cleansers and precedes the Luminus Eye Serum, Priming Oil, or Intensive Nourishing Cream depending on your routine.

The Epionce Priming Oil 60ml is a facial oil used before or mixed with a moisturizer. "Priming" in this context means conditioning the skin surface to improve how moisturizing ingredients sit and absorb. Facial oils in this category typically contain a blend of plant-based fatty acids that mimic the lipids in the skin barrier.

Apply two to three drops after toning and before your moisturizer, or mix a drop into the Intensive Nourishing Cream to increase richness. The 60ml size provides a long supply at the typical usage rate of two to three drops per application. This product suits dry, dehydrated, or mature skin more than oily or acne-prone skin.

The Luminus Eye Serum 15ml is a targeted treatment for the eye contour area. In Epionce's range, the Luminus line focuses on brightness and tone; the eye serum addresses dark circles, fine lines, and the thinning skin around the eye. The 15ml format is standard for eye treatments; at typical use (a small amount per eye per application), a 15ml tube provides two to three months of supply.

Apply after toning and before moisturizer, using a small amount tapped gently around the orbital bone. Avoid pulling the skin in the eye area. The serum absorbs before applying the face cream over the rest of the face.

The Intensive Nourishing Cream 50g is Epionce's richer face moisturizer for dry to very dry skin. The barrier-repair focus of the brand is most visible in this product: it contains botanical lipids that reinforce the skin's barrier without leaving a greasy finish. At 50g it provides a moderate supply for daily use.

This cream suits dry, flaky, or irritation-prone skin types. For normal to combination skin, the Enriched Body Lotion is lighter and can double as a face moisturizer in a pinch, though the Intensive Nourishing Cream is the dedicated facial option. Layer it as the last step in your facial routine, after the toner and any serum.

Epionce offers two body moisturizers: the Enriched Body Cream 230g and the Renewed Enriched Body Lotion 230ml. The Body Cream is richer and suits dry to very dry skin or areas like heels, elbows, and shins that dry out faster. The Renewed Enriched Body Lotion is lighter and absorbs more quickly, suitable for daily all-over use on normal to dry skin after bathing.

Both products carry the same barrier-repair botanical formulation approach as the facial line. Using an Epionce body moisturizer extends the same skin care philosophy to the full body, which matters for people with generalized dryness or skin conditions like eczema that affect more than just the face.

The Restorative Hand Cream 75g is sized for a bathroom, kitchen counter, or desk. The "restorative" descriptor signals the barrier-repair approach applied to hands: botanical lipids and emollients that rebuild moisture where repeated washing strips it. At 75g it is larger than travel-size but still portable.

For people who wash their hands frequently due to medical or caregiving work, or during cold weather when hands crack easily, the Restorative Hand Cream targets exactly this use case. Apply after each hand washing, focusing on knuckles and the back of the hands where dryness concentrates.

A full Epionce facial routine in order: choose one cleanser matching your skin type, apply the Purifying Toner, then the Luminus Eye Serum around the eye contour, then the Priming Oil if using, then the Intensive Nourishing Cream over the face. At night you may apply the Priming Oil more generously under the cream for deeper overnight moisture.

Body routine: shower, pat dry, apply the Renewed Enriched Body Lotion over large areas while skin is still slightly damp to maximize absorption. Use the Enriched Body Cream on elbows, knees, heels, and other dry patches. Keep the Restorative Hand Cream next to the sink for after hand washing.
