Epicutis facial care
Minimalist hydration and barrier support
Epicutis Lipid Serum is a 30ml facial serum built around a deliberately short eight-ingredient formula. It is designed to support hydration, comfort and the skin barrier without layering a long list of additional actives into the routine.
Eight-ingredient formula
A deliberately concise formula centred on Epicutis' TSC ingredient, with each supporting ingredient serving a functional role in hydration, texture or formulation stability.
Lightweight serum texture
The silky texture spreads easily and absorbs without the weight of a rich cream, making it straightforward to layer under moisturiser and SPF.
Simple twice-daily step
Use a pea-sized amount on the face morning and night, with an additional drop for the neck and décolletage if needed.
The formula
What is in the formula
TSC (Disodium Tetramethylhexadecenyl Succinoyl Cysteine) is Epicutis' patented signature ingredient and the defining component of the Lipid Serum. Epicutis positions it as a lipid-like ingredient developed to support calmer, healthier-looking skin.
Sodium hyaluronate helps bind water at the skin surface, while glycerin, propanediol and pentylene glycol provide additional humectant support. Sodium phytate and citric acid complete the eight-ingredient formula.
Daily routine
How to use Epicutis Lipid Serum
Apply a pea-sized amount to clean fingertips and spread gently over the face until absorbed. For the neck and décolletage, Epicutis recommends an additional drop.
Use morning and night. Follow with moisturiser if needed and finish with broad-spectrum SPF during the day.

Why does Epicutis Lipid Serum have only eight ingredients?
The formula is intentionally concise. Epicutis centres it on TSC and uses a small group of humectants and supporting ingredients rather than adding multiple actives for marketing complexity. The result is a straightforward serum focused on hydration and skin comfort.
What does the Lipid Serum feel like on the skin?
It has a light, silky serum texture designed to spread easily and absorb without a heavy or greasy finish. It is intended to sit comfortably underneath moisturiser and daytime SPF.
Is Epicutis Lipid Serum suitable for sensitive skin?
Epicutis positions the Lipid Serum for sensitive and stressed-feeling skin, and the formula has a short ingredient list with no added fragrance listed. Individual tolerance still varies, so introduce it gradually if your skin is particularly reactive.
Where does it go in my skincare routine?
Use it after cleansing and before moisturiser. In the morning, follow with moisturiser if needed and broad-spectrum SPF. In the evening, it can be followed by Epicutis Hyvia® Crème or another moisturiser.
Can I use it with Epicutis Hyvia® Crème?
Yes. Epicutis presents the Lipid Serum as the treatment step and Hyvia® Crème as the hydration step in its simple system. Apply the serum first, allow it to absorb, then follow with the crème.
How often should I use it?
Epicutis recommends using the Lipid Serum morning and night. Apply a pea-sized amount to the face, with an additional drop for the neck and décolletage if required.
Can I use Epicutis Lipid Serum alongside tretinoin?
It can be used as a hydrating, barrier-supportive serum within a routine that also contains tretinoin. Because tretinoin routines and skin tolerance vary, keep the rest of the routine simple and follow the instructions provided with your tretinoin.
Can I use it with vitamin C?
Yes. The Lipid Serum can generally sit within a routine that also contains a vitamin C product. Apply products from lighter to richer textures and introduce new actives gradually if your skin is sensitive.
Is it suitable for rosacea-prone or reactive skin?
Epicutis positions the Lipid Serum for sensitive and stressed-feeling skin. Its short, fragrance-free formula may appeal to people who prefer to minimise the number of ingredients in their routine. Rosacea varies considerably, so tolerance remains individual.
How long will a 30ml bottle last?
Epicutis recommends a pea-sized amount for the face morning and night, with an additional drop for the neck and décolletage. How long the bottle lasts will depend on the areas covered and the amount used each time.
What if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
The current Lipid Serum ingredient list does not contain a retinoid. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding and have questions about a particular skincare ingredient or routine, check with your healthcare professional.
Can I use Epicutis Lipid Serum after an in-clinic procedure?
Epicutis specifically positions the Lipid Serum for stressed, sensitive and post-procedure skin. When you start using it after a treatment should follow the aftercare instructions for that specific procedure, particularly while the skin is freshly treated.
Is Epicutis Lipid Serum fragrance-free?
Yes. Epicutis states that its full skincare line is fragrance-free. The Lipid Serum also has a deliberately short eight-ingredient formula with no added fragrance listed.
Is Epicutis Lipid Serum EWG Verified, vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Epicutis states that its professional skincare line is EWG Verified®, vegan and cruelty-free, and that its products are not tested on animals.
Can I buy Epicutis Lipid Serum in the UK?
Yes. Face for Soul stocks the 30ml Epicutis Lipid Serum for UK customers. Orders can be placed directly through this website, with delivery information available on the UK delivery page.
