Epii HPR Pro Shot

Epii HPR Pro Shot is a concentrated triple-retinoid treatment that layers three forms of vitamin A — 0.3% hydroxypinacolone retinoate (HPR), 0.1% retinal, and 0.05% retinol, for a 0.45% total retinoid complex — to target fine lines and loss of firmness. A built-in soothing system with ectoin, madecassoside, and plant extracts is included to help offset common retinoid irritation.

Key Benefits

• HPR binds directly to skin receptors without requiring conversion, targeting fine lines with a gentler profile than traditional retinol.
• Retinal is included for faster-acting visible support.
• Retinol rounds out the complex for gradual, longer-term texture and elasticity support.
• Ectoin, madecassoside, and a plant soothing complex help comfort skin during retinoid use.
• Ceramide NP and squalane support the moisture barrier alongside the actives.

When to Use

For use in the evening routine, targeting fine lines, uneven texture, and loss of firmness. Not intended for daytime use without sunscreen, as with any retinoid treatment.

How to Use

Apply a small amount evenly to the desired areas after cleansing and toning at night, patting gently until absorbed; follow with moisturizer if needed. Beginners should start with 2-3 applications per week and increase frequency gradually as skin builds tolerance. Always use sunscreen during the day while using this product, and avoid layering with other strong exfoliants or high-strength actives on the same night.

Key Ingredients

• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR): an ester form of retinoic acid that acts on skin receptors directly, associated with less irritation than some other retinoids.
• Retinal (Retinaldehyde): a fast-converting retinoid that supports visible texture and firmness.
• Retinol: a classic vitamin A derivative for gradual anti-aging support.
• Ectoin: an osmolyte that helps protect and soothe stressed skin.
• Madecassoside: a centella asiatica-derived ingredient known for calming and barrier support.
• Niacinamide & Ceramide NP: support tone and the skin's moisture barrier alongside the retinoid complex.

Precautions

Patch test before first use. Not recommended alongside other retinoids, strong exfoliating acids, or benzoyl peroxide in the same routine. Avoid the eye area. Use sunscreen daily while using this product, and discontinue if persistent irritation occurs. Consult a doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, or if skin is highly reactive. Store away from direct sunlight and heat.
