Good For:

We offer a carefully curated selection of medical-grade skin care products, also known as cosmeceuticals. These products bridge the gap between over-the-counter products and prescriptions, containing active ingredients with medicinal or drug-like properties designed to enhance the appearance and health of the skin, with retinoids being among the most crucial.

Retinoids, a family of Vitamin A derivatives, are pivotal in non-prescription skincare. Retinol, not retinyl, is the most beneficial version, available in various formulations such as creams, serums, and lotions. Widely used to address aging skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and promote skin renewal, over-the-counter retinol products are generally safe, though they may initially cause skin irritation, dryness, or redness especially when first starting to use them.

Unlike many over the counter products, the products we offer have been clinically tested. Medical studies are done to show statistical significance that ingredients listed are potent enough to get skin benefit and skin results. We offer cosmeceuticals from two brands: SkinBetter Science and Epionce.

SkinBetter Science:

SkinBetterScience’s Alpharet Overnight Cream is a popular retinol product. Combining retinol with Glycolic Acid, peptides, moisturizers, and antioxidants, it visibly rejuvenates skin with minimal irritation. Formulated to diminish the appearance of lines, wrinkles, uneven tone, pigmentation, and texture, this all-in-one solution minimizes the need for multiple skincare products. One pump applied nightly to the entire face yields 5-6 months of use per bottle.

Epionce:

Epionce, developed locally by an Idaho Dermatologist, remains a privately-held company with a widespread presence across the US and Europe. Manufactured in-house at its Boise headquarters in small batches to ensure quality and freshness, Epionce products utilize botanicals for maximum efficacy and a luxurious application experience.
