Osmosis EPIC Skin Tool

The Osmosis EPIC Skin Tool is a patent-pending instrument designed to maximize the performance of your skincare by promoting deeper penetration of active ingredients, without compromising skin health.

Human skin is an intricate layer of densely packed cells (lipids) that act as a protective barrier between our bodies and the environment. This barrier is called the stratum corneum (SC). Many popular devices designed to increase product penetration either scrape away or perforate (microneedle) this important barrier, damaging the matrix of lipid cells that keep our skin protected and healthy.

The Osmosis EPIC Skin Tool maximizes skincare benefits by significantly improving active ingredient penetration – without damaging healthy skin barrier function.

HOW DOES THE OSMOSIS EPIC SKIN TOOL WORK?

Even the most advanced skincare can only achieve 2%-5% absorption when applied by hand. Using the EPIC Skin Tool can safely increase product absorption by up to 30%, allowing deeper penetration of active ingredients. This means you’ll see optimum results from your skincare investment, faster.

The precision shape and length of the intertwining pyramids on the rotating spheres of the EPIC Skin Tool create (temporary) micro-channels in a safe zone of the skin’s barrier. These micro-channels allow for dramatically improved product absorption without damaging lipids or compromising barrier function.

Other devices intentionally go beyond this safe zone and wound the skin. This “skin wounding” technique was believed to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production and accelerate skin rejuvenation. The technique is now being challenged as we see more and more cases of “wounding” causing permanent skin barrier damage.

CAN ANYONE USE THE EPIC SKIN TOOL?

The EPIC Skin Tool enhances penetration of all actives, including soothing or anti- inflammatory ingredients, so it can be used safely on most skin types, including sensitive. However, individuals with rosacea or those who over-exfoliate should proceed with caution.

We do not recommend the EPIC Skin Tool for people with severe rosacea or dermatitis.

HOW TO USE EPIC SKIN TOOL:

As with any new device, we recommend you start conservatively using the device only once a day until you can determine how stimulating your routine can be when EPIC Skin Tool is included. It is also advisable that you start with very light pressure on the skin, as if it is barely touching the surface as you roll it around the face. Increasing to twice daily use and using more pressure is something you can modify over the first week or two. At no time should there be pain using EPIC. Pain indicates you are applying too much pressure. That being said, the pyramids have a point to them and you will feel it as you roll the points over your skin.

The best way to use the roller is to focus on a downward motion. EPIC is designed to gently grab the skin as you make a downward motion. It does not do this if you go in the opposite direction. On the forehead this is less important because the skin is often too taught to be pulled in.
