Chemical exfoliation with Epionce Lytic products

You may have heard before that exfoliation helps to improve the appearance of the skin and is a must after a summer in the sun.

Although exfoliation can be a necessary step in your skin care routine, we sometimes recommend that clients use an exfoliator. Using a peel with grains, an aggressive acid peel or brushing the skin certainly has an exfoliating effect, but it can cause damage to the skin's barrier. Instead of physically exfoliating away your vital skin barrier, it can be much more beneficial and effective to use a chemical peel.

How chemical peels work
Chemical peels work by applying a product with a specific ingredient to help break down and remove dead skin cells, which in turn minimizes clogged pores and makes room for new, healthy skin cells to grow. This allows subsequent products to penetrate the skin more effectively, making the products more effective. An ingredient found in Epionce products is willow bark extract, a botanical form of salicylic acid that helps prevent and reduce blemishes.

As with all skin care products, chemical peels are not just about choosing the right peeling ingredient. What also matters is the amount used, the other ingredients that work in synergy with them and the effectiveness of the formula without risking deterioration of the skin. Epionce is known for gentle and effective formulas. Since the main goal is to strengthen the skin barrier, we are very selective with our ingredients.

How Lytic Tx exfoliates for all skin types
Our Lytic Tx products contain powerful yet non-aggressive ingredients that help unclog pores while evening out the visible appearance of the skin's texture and structure. Daily use reduces irritation, redness, blemishes and problem skin. Some key supporting ingredients in our Lytic Tx products, which visibly help reduce signs of skin blemishes when combined with willow bark extract, are:

Orange fruit extract , which has both antioxidant benefits and properties to improve the visible signs of unwanted dark spots.
Meadowfoam extract, a very rich source of fatty acids which are a key component of the skin's structure and appearance. It is a natural moisturizing ingredient that helps keep the skin hydrated and improves the appearance of rejuvenated skin.
Rosa canina fruit oil, which is known to help reduce irritation, improve the visible appearance of tight skin and reduce signs of skin aging.
Along with these soothing and moisturizing botanicals, our Lytic Tx products include the extra powerful ingredients salicylic acid, azelaic acid, and hyaluronic acid.

The Lytic Tx products

Help reduce visible signs of red spots, pigments and keratoses.
Help reduce the visible appearance of shiny/oily skin.
Helps retain moisture under the skin barrier.
Although Lytic Tx is a powerful standalone product, it is also clinically proven to reduce the visible appearance of skin aging and unevenness when used in combination with Epionce Renewal facial products. This dynamic duo is proven to deliver better visible anti-aging results than even leading retinoids!

The best thing about Lytic Tx? There is one for everyone. These products come in a complete line suitable for all skin types, from dry and sensitive to oily.


Lytic Tx comes in three specific formulations, each designed for different skin types and concerns. The biggest difference between each formulation? Amount of active ingredients. When used in conjunction with an Epionce Renewal Facial product, Lytic Tx products are clinically proven to improve the visible appearance of aging and uneven skin. Our four Lytic Tx products are:

Lite Lytic Tx, a gentle, firming restructuring formula best for dry/sensitive skin, including aged and baby skin.

Lytic Tx, a medium strength restructuring formula, ideal for normal to combination skin.

Lytic Sport Tx, a restructuring formula for maximum strength, perfect for oily and acne-prone skin.

How should Lytic Tx be used?

A Lytic product should be applied to clean skin and sit on the skin for 5-7 minutes before applying cream, as this allows the active botanical ingredients in each Lytic Tx to be absorbed into the skin and begin to work.

We recommend that you always apply a Lytic Tx to dry skin after cleansing and follow with a Renewal Facial product to prioritize the skin barrier and reap the best results.
