Introducing the Epicutis and its hero molecule TSC™

One of the biggest shifts in skin science over the past decade has been our understanding of inflammation and how it drives many of the concerns we see on the skin’s surface.

Redness.
Sensitivity.
Pigmentation.
Acne.
Premature Ageing.

Inflammation is something I talk about a lot in the treatment room… because it’s often the common thread behind so many skin concerns.

Imagine your skin has an alarm system.

When it’s triggered unnecessarily, it sends inflammatory signals throughout the skin - even when there’s no real threat.

TSC™ helps regulate those signals before they escalate, allowing the skin to return to a healthier more balanced state.

We’re learning that inflammation isn’t necessarily something we see - it often begins long before visible symptoms appear.

The Lipid Serum’s hero ingredient, TSC™, has a fascinating story.

It was originally developed during Alzheimer’s disease research, targeting neuroinflammation at a cellular level. When it was later discovered that the same inflammatory pathways existed within the skin, the molecule was adapted for topical use.

What it does is remarkable.

It regulates the inflammatory signalling cascade upstream - before redness, collagen breakdown or barrier damage occurs. It works simultaneously across four major inflammatory cytokines and three different skin cell types, leaving no stone unturned in the inflammation process.

Why does this matter for your skin?

Because almost every skin concern has inflammation at its root.

Treating skin without addressing that is treating symptoms not causes.

The formula itself is beautifully clean and simple.
Just 8 thoughtfully selected ingredients, including highly purified, biocompatible hyaluronic acid at 10x the clinical dose to deeply support hydration and reinforce the skin barrier.

Nothing unnecessary.

Just intelligent formulation with every ingredient earning its place.

For me, healthy skin is about creating an environment where the skin can function the way it was designed to.

That’s why the Lipid Serum has become one of my favourite recommendations for so many skins.

Available in clinic and online 🤍

What makes Epicutis different? It starts with the science.

Epicutis was born from four decades of biotech research at Princeton University - originally developed to treat neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s disease. This research revealed that the same anti-inflammatory pathways involved in protecting the brain also protect the skin. And so a skincare band and was born.

The hero molecule is called TSC™. It doesn’t soothe inflammation after it shows up. It intercepts the trigger before the cascade even begins - at a cellular signalling level. That is a fundamentally different approach to skin health.

Every product contains only what it needs to.
The Lipid Serum has eight ingredients. The Oil Cleanser has nine. No preservatives, no fragrance, no fillers. Every single ingredient earns its place.

And every product is EWG-Verified. Independently assess d for ingredient safety and transparency. This is not a label you can buy. Epicutis is one of the only skincare brands in the world to hold this across their entire range.

Pregnancy safe

Breastfeeding safe

This is the skincare I am recommending to my most sensitised clients. My post-procedure clients. My pregnancy and breastfeeding clients. And myself.

For the last few weeks, something very special has been happening behind the scenes at the clinic…

And I finally get to share it.

This launch has been a long time coming - not because I wanted another skincare brand on the shelf, but because I was waiting for something that genuinely aligned with the way I think about skin health.

This month, I had the pleasure of hearing Max Stock and Lisa Johnson - CEO & President of Epicutis- all the way from California - speak in person, as well as having them in clinic for training and conversations around this exciting approach to skin health and inflammation.

If I wasn’t already excited about this brand… I certainly am now.

is unlike anything else I’ve worked with.

Born from four decades of biotech research through Signum Biosciences (spun out of Princeton University), these formulations were never created in a boardroom. The original research was actually focused on neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s disease - before the same anti-inflammatory pathways that protect the brain were applied to the skin.

Everything is intentional.
Minimal ingredients.
No unnecessary fillers.
No fragrance.
No meaningless “actives”.

Just decades of biotech research, patented anti-inflammatory molecules originally developed through neuroscience research, and clean formulations intentionally stripped back to only what the skin truly needs.

I cannot wait to share more with you 🤍

Thank you , and for your support 🤍🤍

Love notes lately…

Little reminders of why I pour everything into this work 🤍

To the mother who gives everything.

The one who remembers everyone else’s needs before she remembers her own. Who runs on love and not enough sleep. Who holds it all together and rarely stops long enough to be held herself.

This is for her.

A treatment that goes beyond the skin - one that asks nothing of you except that you arrive, and let yourself receive.

Mother’s Day gift vouchers are available online and as a physical voucher in time for Sunday. 🤍

This is a genuinely beautiful thing to give someone you love.

Crème M.E.C. — the skin sculptor - has landed in clinic✨

Biologique Recherche introduces a new era of structural skin care with Crème M.E.C. — designed to target the extracellular matrix (E.C.M.), the skin’s essential support network responsible for firmness, density and facial harmony.

The focus of this formula goes beyond collagen alone.

Crème M.E.C. supports all four pillars of the skin’s infrastructure:
✨Collagen
✨Elastin
✨Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
✨Glycoproteins

Strengthening where structure is formed — to visibly redensify, refine contours and restore skin integrity.

Powered by a high-performance complex of bioengineered actives:
🌱Alfalfa extract for a retinol-like renewal effect, without irritation
🌱Dill extract to support stronger, more resilient elastin fibres
🌱Polyglutamic acid, capable of retaining up to 5,000x its weight in water, delivering deep, lasting hydration

The texture is equally advanced.
An intelligent bi-gel system allows an aqueous phase rich in actives to absorb instantly, while a silky oil phase forms a light protective veil — leaving skin smooth, supple and luminous with that porcelain-skin finish.

Designed for skin experiencing loss of firmness, reduced density or changes in definition — and for those seeking true structural remodelling.

Available in clinic and online.
