The Epionce Difference

In an age of independent skin care companies, who simply procure from third-party formulations and production companies, the proven science and formulations behind Epionce continue to set it apart as a skin wellness company unlike any other. Built on decades of original bench research and clinical studies, Epionce has continued to pave a new path in the botanical and medical grade skin care industry since the first Renewal Facial Cream was sold over 15 years ago.

The Start of Something New

Vital bench research on skin function began in the 1980s and 1990s, which would lead to discoveries important not only to the Epionce line but other pharmaceutical products still on the market today. Epionce founder and CEO Dr. Carl Thornfeldt, led ground-breaking research on skin function and structure with teams in the San Francisco area while continuing to care for patients in the Northwest.

One “a-ha” moment came while on a mountain climbing excursion – a favorite pastime activity of Dr. Thornfeldt’s. “I do a lot of thinking while outdoors,” Dr. Thornfeldt explains. “One particular day, I found myself thinking about skin’s role in shielding the body from the outside world. Then it hit me – the skin barrier is actually a protective layer.” He continued to explain that conventional skin treatments tried to destroy the skin barrier to achieve results, but he concluded there had to be a better way without disrupting the protective barrier.

The result was a new paradigm of skin’s role and function. Striving to find formulations that were gentle but could address the root cause of skin aging led him to dive into more research on the use of botanical extracts in the treatment of skin conditions.

Setting the Standard in Medical Grade Skin Care

Dr. Thornfeldt’s goal was to create a clinical skin care line that his patients would love to use while getting great results for their skin concerns, all while not creating irritation for the patient. He commissioned a third-party research lab to conduct independent clinical studies. This included a ground-breaking clinical study on Renewal Facial Cream and Lytic Tx versus the Gold Standard anti-aging retinol product on the market. The result was a superior improvement in the visible appearance of skin aging – without irritation. Now with over 16 clinical studies on the final formulations, Epionce products continue to prove their efficacy.

Epionce is the original medical grade botanical skin care line, merging Dr. Thornfeldt’s years of scientific data and philosophy of targeting the root cause of skin aging using therapeutic formulas to be distributed in a medical office setting. Unlike products on the market that simply combine trendy ingredients and bright packaging, Epionce is based on decades of Dr. Thornfeldt’s time in the lab spent perfecting the completely unique and proprietary final formulations, which resulted in clinically-proven formulas that are safe and easy to use.

Epionce remains a privately-held company and all products are formulated and manufactured in-house at its headquarters in Boise, Idaho. This ensures the quality and freshness of the product, which is made in small batches for maximum freshness. The FDA inspected facility maintains Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and is drug manufacturing compliant.

Combining Dr. Thornfeldt’s passion for research and development and for his patients to achieve their skin goals, the Epionce skin care line will continue to provide the highest quality, proven formulas for years to come.
