Epionce Renewal Facial Cream reduces signs of aging on dry sensitive skin. Sensitive skin often cannot tolerate the strong actives required to combat signs of aging. Epionce developed a formulation using natural ingredients to help sensitive skin tolerate this effective anti-aging product.
About Epionce Renewal Facial Cream
Epionce Renewal Facial Cream is the flagship product of the Epionce line.
Dr. Thornfeldt, Clinical Dermatologist and Founder of Episciences, and creator of Epionce, created a line of botanically-based skincare that rivals the results of aggressive chemical topicals but without the irritation.
Why It Is Special
Epionce Renewal Facial Cream is special because it provides an anti-aging cream for sensitive skin, and unlike many aggressive topicals, it is formulated to provide skin barrier protection to combat environmental stressors.
This cruelty-free formulation uses several natural ingredients to protect, pamper and treat the skin.
Let’s take a look:
Key Ingredients
Beeswax
Beeswax is a bee by-product that softens the skin. It has an occlusive quality to provide a barrier while retaining precious skin moisture.
It is a natural skin conditioner that stands up to wind, dry weather, cold winters, and hot summer sun.
Meadowfoam Seed Oil
Meadowfoam Seed Oil is a very stable oil that lubricates and can stay on the skin without leaving a residue after it is rinsed off.
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil
Orange Peel has more Vitamin C than the fleshly orange fruit, almost double. It fights free radicals, removes blackheads and acne, and reduces wrinkles.
Orange Peel Oil is an antioxidant that reduces inflammation. It improves collagen production resulting in the reduction of dark spots and wrinkles.
The bacteria-fighting and inflammation reduction properties reduce acne without excess skin drying.
Safflower Seed Oil
Safflower Seed Oil is high in Omegas 3, 6, and 9. It hydrates dry skin, soothes irritation, and enhances skin texture and appearance.
Safflower Seed Oil delays premature aging and tightens and brightens the skin.
Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil
Lemon/Limon peel contains concentrated vitamin C to build collagen, fade age spots and rejuvenate photodamage. Vitamin C reduces excess oil production, shrinks pores, and exfoliates dead surface skin. These reduce the formation of adult acne while treating skin aging.
Lemon Peel Oil is also a natural exfoliator and skin purifier. [1]It alleviates skin inflammation [2] and reduces certain infection-causing bacteria. [3]
Direct, undiluted application of lemon peel oil can be excessively drying to the skin, but it works well within a balanced formulation.
Quercetin
Quercetin is a polyphenol antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It is found in red wine, green apples, green tea, and berries.
Malic Acid
Malic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid for sensitive skin.
Gentler than Glycolic acid, it improves the appearance of fine lines, large pores, and skin texture.
Lavandula Hybrida (Lavandin) Oil
Lavender Oil softens and conditions the skin.
Lavender’s anti-microbial and anti-bacterial properties keep skin healthy. It has soothing properties to calm any imbalances such as inflammation or dry skin flaking.
The linalyl acetate in lavender enhances cell growth in the skin.
Linseed Seed Oil
Linseed Oil comes from flax. It is very high in Omega-3s to soften and nourish the skin.
It promotes skin brightness, elasticity, firmness, and texture.
Olive Fruit Oil
Olive Fruit Oil moisturizes but won’t clog pores.
It has skin-enhancing Omega-3s and polyphenols, as well as Linoleic acid for an anti-inflammatory effect.
Olive Oil within a formulation removes the greasy feel of direct application.
Avocado Oil
Avocado Oil is 72% monounsaturated fatty acids. This is higher than Coconut or Grapeseed oils. Avocado Oil mixes with water better than other oils.
Avocado oil decreases dryness and improves the texture of the skin.
Rich in Omegas 3 and 6, Vitamins C, D, and E, Avocado Oil promotes scar healing and collagen production.[4]
Date Fruit Extract
Date Fruit Extract is better known as Date oil.
Date Oil revives dull, dry skin. It has the four fatty acids oleic, linoleic, lauric, and palmitic acid. These reduce moisture loss in the skin and lock in moisture. It is also antimicrobial and antibacterial.
Date Fruit Extract is rich in vitamin B2 which promotes elasticity.
Date Oil contains copper and pantothenic acid (B5) which reduces premature aging of the skin.
Rosa Canina Fruit Oil
Rosa Canina Seed Oil is an emollient. It contains tocopherols (vitamin E) and carotenoids (pro-vitamin A) that give it some nice antioxidant properties.
Rosa Canina Seed Oil is a moisturizing plant oil loaded with skin-nourishing fatty acids (linoleic acid – 51%, linolenic acid – 19%, and oleic acid – 20%).
Rosehip Canina Seed Oil is high in Vitamins A, C, and E. They provide nutrients, fade acne scars and promote cell turnover.
Rosehip Canina Seed oil also has omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids to soothe and moisturize eczema or dry skin. [5]
The Experience
It is a rich emollient texture but it does not leave behind a residue.
It spreads easily on the skin and absorbs well. It dries down without being greasy. There is a notable but pleasant scent. It leaves my skin soft and smooth.
