Epionce Ultra Refining Lytic Serum is the newest addition to the Lytic family: a lightweight, botanical serum that refines texture and brightens tone while respecting the skin barrier. It offers the smoothing, resurfacing benefits you would expect from an exfoliant, without the dryness, tightness or irritation that traditional acids can bring.

At its heart is Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, a gentle, skin-friendly alternative to azelaic acid, paired with Epionce's hyper-extracted botanicals, a boosted humectant blend, antioxidants and vitamins A, B, C and E. The result is skin that looks smoother, more even and more radiant, with visible improvement in fine lines, dark spots and elasticity. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

In Epionce's head-to-head clinical study, a complete Epionce routine including Ultra Refining Lytic Serum delivered 46% greater improvement in the appearance of dark spots, and 85.7% greater improvement in visible sun damage on the neck, than a leading medical-grade regimen. Individual results may vary.

Benefits

  • Refines and smooths uneven texture
  • Visibly reduces dark spots and evens skin tone
  • Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves the appearance of elasticity and radiance
  • Gentle exfoliating action that supports the skin barrier
  • Free from parabens, sulphates, gluten, synthetic fragrance and dyes

Key Ingredients

  • Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate: A gentle, hydrating alternative to azelaic acid that helps refine texture and even tone
  • Lemon Thyme & Lemongrass: Botanical extracts that help clarify and refresh the complexion
  • Saw Palmetto: Helps balance the look of oiliness and congested pores
  • Wakame & Immortelle: Antioxidant-rich botanicals that support a smoother, more radiant appearance

Apply morning and evening to clean skin. Smooth one pea-sized amount over the face, then a second pea-sized amount over the neck and décolletage. Follow with your Epionce moisturiser and, in the morning, a broad-spectrum SPF.

What It Is

Glycerin works as a humectant, it attracts moisture from the air into the stratum corneum (top layer of skin), and due to its low molecular weight, will continue to draw moisture to the deeper layers of the dermis.

Glycerin also treats several skin disorders, ranging from dry skin to wound healing. The ingredient has the potential of improving your overall internal health as well.

Due to its versatility and ability to moisturise, it’s used in everything from lotions to soaps to toners.

What It Does

How to use in your skincare routine?

Products with glycerin can be used topically multiple times a day. You can safely and effectively use this ingredient in nearly every single step of your skin care routine. Several skin care brands use glycerin when formulating everything from cleansers and toners, to serums and moisturisers.

Benefits
  • Glycerin tightens and firms - Use this ingredient for a few weeks or even a few days and we think you'll find that it plumps and softens your look significantly, especially if you have more mature skin.
  • It improves your complexion - Glycerin is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores.
  • It brightens - Between glycerin’s rejuvenating properties and its ability to moisturise, glycerin plays a key role in keeping skin looking bright and luminous.
  • The ingredient is also a good choice for sensitive skin. Because it’s a natural component of skin, it calms redness and inflammation. It’s one of the gentler ingredients you can find in skin care products and can even help alleviate sensitivity over time.
