Chicago Skin Science’s Product of the Week 4/3/23

Published by Webmaster

Epionce Enriched Firming Mask 

A mask that is soothing upon application and quickly absorbed by the skin, the Epionce Enriched Firming Mask is a pleasant end to anyone’s evening skincare routine. Upon waking the user will find skin to appear quenched and smooth without excess product or residue. I have thoroughly enjoyed this product as an addition to the more intensive anti-aging and prescription products in my skincare regimen. Though not scented this mask has a beautiful aroma brought on by its array of botanical oils and extracts giving dry, aged, or treated skin the opportunity to glow. The Enriched Firming Mask is $42 and is available for domestic shipping and store pick up. 

 

Key Benefits 

  • Extra hydration for firmer looking skin 
  • Helps soothe and calm irritating factors 
  • Helps reduce visible redness 

 

How to Use 

Evenly apply to clean skin. Leave on for 5-10 minutes then rinse. For additional hydration, do not rinse. For best results, use weekly. 

Pro tip… this product behaves beautifully under the Omnilux Mask LED Phototherapy, recommended by Chicago Cosmetics and Dermatology Estheticians.
