EPICUTIS represents a revolutionary approach to professional skincare—combining cutting-edge biotechnology with clean beauty principles to deliver products that are both highly effective and exceptionally safe. As the first and only professional skincare line to achieve full EWG Verified™ status, EPICUTIS sets the standard for transparent, non-toxic skincare that produces real, visible results.

At NexGen Health, we’ve selected EPICUTIS as a cornerstone of our aesthetics optimization program because it aligns perfectly with our commitment to science-backed, physician-grade treatments. Our medical team provides expert guidance on incorporating EPICUTIS into your daily regimen—whether as a standalone skincare system or as essential support for post-procedure recovery. We believe in recommending only products with proven efficacy and transparent ingredients, and EPICUTIS exceeds both standards.

The Science Behind EPICUTIS Clean Skincare

EPICUTIS was developed by Signum Biosciences, a biopharmaceutical company founded by Dr. Jeffry Stock, a Princeton University professor of molecular biology with over 150 published scientific articles on signal transduction and cellular regulation. This scientific pedigree distinguishes EPICUTIS from conventional skincare brands—every ingredient and formulation is rooted in rigorous research and clinical evidence.

The brand’s philosophy centers on “less is more.” Rather than overwhelming formulas with dozens of ingredients, EPICUTIS products contain only 7-8 carefully selected compounds that work synergistically to address the root causes of skin aging and damage: inflammation, oxidative stress, and barrier dysfunction. This minimalist approach reduces the risk of irritation while maximizing the delivery of active ingredients where they’re needed most.

TSC Technology for Anti-Inflammatory Skin Repair

At the heart of every EPICUTIS product is TSC (Tetramethylhexadecenyl Succinoyl Cysteine)—a patented small molecule that represents a genuine breakthrough in skincare science. Developed in-house by the Signum Biosciences team, TSC is a “super-lipid” designed to calm, protect, and repair skin at the molecular level.

TSC delivers a remarkable range of clinically proven benefits. It reduces inflammation at the cellular level, addressing the underlying cause of redness, irritation, and accelerated aging. It blocks UVA and UVB-induced damage, providing protection against environmental stressors. It possesses powerful antioxidant properties that neutralize free radicals before they can harm healthy cells. It protects existing collagen from degradation while supporting new collagen synthesis. And it helps balance the skin’s microbiome, promoting a healthier, more resilient skin ecosystem.

“EPICUTIS represents the kind of science-first skincare we believe in at NexGen Health,” says Dr. James Petros. “When products are developed by molecular biologists and backed by real clinical research, patients get results they can see and feel—not just marketing promises. We recommend EPICUTIS because it works, and because we can trust exactly what’s in every formula.”

EWG Verified Status for Clean Beauty Standards

EPICUTIS achieved a milestone that no other professional skincare brand has matched: full EWG Verified™ certification across its entire product line. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) is one of the most respected consumer health organizations in the world, and their verification program represents the strictest safety standards in the personal care industry.

EWG Verified™ status guarantees that EPICUTIS products contain no ingredients with health, ecotoxicity, or contamination concerns. It confirms complete transparency in ingredient sourcing and manufacturing. It ensures compliance with current good manufacturing practices that exceed U.S. requirements. In fact, all EPICUTIS products meet European Union standards—regulations far more rigorous than those in the United States.

This certification provides peace of mind that the products you’re applying to your skin are genuinely clean, safe, and free from harmful chemicals. Every EPICUTIS ingredient scores a 1 (the safest rating) on the EWG database.

EPICUTIS Product Line for Complete Skin Health

EPICUTIS offers a streamlined system designed around the brand’s “Treat and Hydrate” philosophy. Rather than overwhelming you with dozens of products, this curated collection provides everything your skin needs for daily care and post-procedure recovery.

• Lipid Serum: The cornerstone of the EPICUTIS system, this silky serum delivers therapeutic concentrations of TSC to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and protect collagen. With only 8 ingredients, it provides instant relief for stressed, sensitive, or post-procedure skin while building long-term skin health benefits.
• HYVIA Crème: Formulated with HYVIA, a patented moisturizing compound derived from organic, non-GMO chia seed oil, this rich cream hydrates at the cellular level while strengthening the skin barrier. It works synergistically with the Lipid Serum to seal in moisture and active ingredients.
• Lipid Recovery Mask: A bio-cellulose mask saturated with TSC and calming botanicals, designed for intensive healing after procedures like microneedling, laser treatments, or chemical peels. It delivers an instant dose of soothing hydration when skin needs it most.
• Oil Cleanser: A gentle, effective cleanser that removes makeup and impurities without stripping the skin’s natural barrier. Formulated with the same clean ingredient philosophy as the rest of the line.
• Lipid Shield SPF 30: The newest addition to the EPICUTIS family, this mineral sunscreen pairs EWG-validated non-nano zinc oxide with TSC for broad-spectrum protection that simultaneously calms and repairs. It’s the only sunscreen to combine these two technologies.

Benefits of EPICUTIS for Sensitive and Post-Procedure Skin

EPICUTIS was designed with vulnerable skin in mind—making it ideal for patients with sensitive, reactive, or compromised complexions. The minimalist formulations and anti-inflammatory ingredients deliver powerful results without the irritation that often accompanies clinical-strength skincare.

For post-procedure recovery, EPICUTIS accelerates healing while protecting the skin’s delicate barrier. Whether you’ve just had microneedling, Morpheus8, laser resurfacing, or a chemical peel, EPICUTIS products calm redness, reduce inflammation, and support your skin’s natural repair processes. Many aesthetic practitioners consider EPICUTIS essential for optimizing treatment outcomes and minimizing downtime.

Beyond post-procedure care, EPICUTIS benefits anyone concerned with aging skin, chronic redness, rosacea, eczema, dryness, or environmental damage. The products are fragrance-free, dye-free, paraben-free, phthalate-free, and silicone-free—suitable for even the most reactive skin types.

How to Build Your EPICUTIS Skincare Routine

The beauty of EPICUTIS lies in its simplicity. The brand recommends just three steps, performed twice daily, to effectively care for your skin’s health.

Start with the Oil Cleanser to gently remove impurities and prepare your skin for treatment. Follow with the Lipid Serum—apply a pea-sized amount to clean, damp skin and gently spread until absorbed. The serum’s lipid-like properties allow it to penetrate quickly, carrying calming nutrients beneath the surface. Finish with HYVIA Crème to lock in hydration and strengthen your barrier.

For post-procedure care or whenever your skin needs extra support, incorporate the Lipid Recovery Mask into your routine. Apply Lipid Shield SPF 30 every morning as your final step to protect against UV damage throughout the day.

Our medical team can help you customize your EPICUTIS protocol based on your specific skin concerns, current treatments, and aesthetic goals.

Who Benefits from EPICUTIS Medical-Grade Skincare

EPICUTIS is ideal for patients seeking clean, effective skincare without compromising on results. The line is particularly beneficial for those with sensitive or reactive skin who struggle with conventional products, patients recovering from aesthetic procedures who need gentle yet effective support, anyone concerned with aging, fine lines, and loss of elasticity, individuals dealing with chronic redness, rosacea, or inflammatory skin conditions, and those who prioritize clean beauty and want full transparency about product ingredients.

Whether you’re building your first serious skincare regimen or seeking a safer alternative to your current products, EPICUTIS delivers professional-grade results with the cleanest possible formulations.
