Boise, Idaho-based Episciences, Inc, was founded in 2002 and integrates Dr. Carl Thornfeldt's twenty-plus years of research into the development of a highly effective cosmeceutical, non-prescription, dermatological product line. His research linked the effects of two damaging biological processes in the skin: chronic inflammation and disruption of the skin's natural protective barrier.
More than a dozen independent clinical studies have supported the product's ability to reverse and prevent the effects of visible skin aging and certain common skin diseases. The principle behind it all is that Epionce strengthens your skin's own mechanisms, helping to improve function, restore the barrier and reverse destructive skin inflammation and provide beautiful skin.
The explanation for the success of the product is that visible blood vessels, spots, large pores, etc. are a result of inflammatory chemicals in e skin that occur as you age because your skin gradually loses its ability to protect itself. The major ingredients are EpiA, which has an anti-inflammatory effect, and EpiB, which repairs the protective layer -normalizes the skin and brings it back to its ability to repair itself.
I first tried the Gentle Foaming Cleanser, which is billed not only to remove makeup and impurities but to protect the skin's natural barrier. Unfortunately, I have extremely sensitive skin and nearly all cleansers leave me with small irritated areas that translate into red spots the next morning. However, this really did cleanse my skin completely and my face apparently loved it - it was soft and smooth in the morning - no irritation or blemishes.
Epionce's Lite Lytic Lotion is a potion in a bottle. It really does what it says: eliminates imperfections and uneven texture (and I certainly have both!) by loosening and removing surface dead skin cells. As an exfoliant, it is the gentlest I have ever tried. After the first use I thought I could feel a difference; after two weeks I knew I, and everyone else, could see a real change. My skin not only had a smooth uniform texture, but it glowed. I needed much less makeup and my skin felt fresh all day - no greasiness, no dryness.
Maybe the biggest home run for me, though, was the Renewal Eye Cream. After nearly a month, I'd certainly say it stimulates skin renewal in every way. I hardly know myself in the morning without the puffiness and circles under my eyes, and the skin is far smoother and more elastic. If this keeps up I will be able to toss my under eye cover up altogether.
 The company offers a wealth of products, including $34 and $38 Shield Lotions (one especially formulated for physically active people) with high SPF, and an Extreme Barrier Cream that hydrates extremely dry skin on the hands, feet, knees, elbows, lower legs and extremities. This last produced amazing results for a friend who had had a skin resurfacing. She used it with almost miraculous consequences since she found it fragrance-free and exceptionally gentle.
There are five aspects of Epionce: Cleansing, Preparing, Treating, Renewing the face and renewing the body and protecting. You don't have to use them all, but why wouldn't you?
These products are very reasonably priced for the results you get; it really takes very little to do the trick, and, most important of all, it really did work for me! The Lite Lytic Lotion, for instance, is $50 for a 1.7 ounce bottle (I'm still working on it); the Gentle Foaming Cleanser is $30 and the Renewal Eye Cream is $72.
Epionce is marketed through dermatologists, plastic surgeons and other skin care professionals. It is also available on the Internet, www.epionce.com, where there's a feature allowing the consumer to find an expert nearby
