The epii HPR Pro Shot is an advanced, high-performance anti-aging serum that utilizes an innovative triple-retinoid system. It targets fine lines, loss of elasticity, and uneven texture with zero-conversion direct action, delivering high-potency results with significantly less irritation than traditional retinol.
Key Benefits
- Multi-Pathway Youth Renewal: Employs a timed-release system that delivers non-stop overnight cellular turnover to smooth rough texture and fade persistent fine lines.
- Immediate Collagen Support: Maximizes skin-firming and elasticity-boosting benefits via a multi-retinoid synergy that works better than a single retinoid alone.
- No-Purge Retinoid Care: Engineered for "retinol quitters" or sensitive skin types who normally experience flaking, redness, or purging from traditional vitamin A derivatives.
- Calms & Heals the Barrier: Mitigates the typical drying side effects of retinoids by keeping the outer skin barrier heavily comforted and hydrated.
Key Ingredients
- 0.3% Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR): A next-generation retinoid that binds directly to skin cells without needing conversion steps, giving fast results with minimal irritation risk.
- 0.1% Retinal: A highly active, rapid-response retinoid that accelerates skin cell renewal and addresses deep wrinkles.
- 0.05% Retinol: Provides a gradual, time-released support network to slowly smooth skin texture over time.
- Ectoin: A powerhouse stress-protection molecule clinically proven to shield the skin from retinoid-induced dryness and barrier damage.
- Madecassoside & Plant-Soothing Complex: Centella-derived agents that suppress redness, alleviate inflammation, and speed up barrier recovery.
- Ceramide NP & Sodium Hyaluronate: Replenishes essential lipids and locks deep-level moisture into the cellular walls.

How to Use
Retinoids degrade in sunlight and increase UV sensitivity, so this booster shot is strictly for night time use.
PM Routine
- Prep: Double cleanse to clear oil and pollutants, then apply a hydrating toner. Ensure your face is completely dry before the next step (damp skin accelerates retinoid absorption, which can increase irritation).
- Apply: Dispense a pea-sized amount (2–3 drops) of the green-hued epii HPR Pro Shot. Smooth it evenly over the face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye contours.
- Acclimatize: If you are a beginner, start by using it 2 to 3 times per week, slowly building up to nightly use as your skin adapts.
- Seal: Follow up with a dedicated barrier repair cream (such as the epii Double Up Ectoin Cream) to lock in moisture.
Layering Tips
- The Golden Barrier Pairing: Pair this directly with Ectoin, Niacinamide, Panthenol, or Ceramides. These ingredients act as a safety net, eliminating any chance of dryness or flaking.
- What to Avoid (No-Mix Rule): Do not layer this in the same evening routine with AHA/BHA chemical exfoliants, Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), or Benzoyl Peroxide. Doing so will overwhelm the skin barrier, causing severe redness and irritation. Move those active acids to your morning routine or alternate nights.
