epii HPR Pro Shot Triple Retinoid Serum – 20 ml

epii HPR Pro Shot Triple Retinoid Serum is a concentrated Korean night-care treatment created for anyone looking to address visible signs of fatigue, uneven texture, and loss of firmness. This formula stands out through its multi-pathway retinoid system, working across different layers of the skin to support renewal while you sleep.

Crafted by the Korean skincare brand epii, this 20ml serum brings together three distinct retinoid forms in a single professional-grade formula, designed for those who want a noticeably more advanced approach to nightly retinoid care without the harshness typically associated with high-strength actives.

Benefits

• Helps support a firmer, plumper-looking complexion
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Supports smoother, more refined skin texture
• Helps improve the look of skin elasticity and radiance
• Encourages an overnight renewed appearance
• Formulated to feel more comfortable on skin than traditional retinol

Active Ingredients

• Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate (HPR) 0.3% – a direct-acting retinoid that binds to skin receptors without requiring conversion steps
• Retinal 0.1%
• Retinol 0.05%
• Ectoin, Madecassoside, and a plant-soothing complex to help support comfort while using high-potency actives

How to Use

Apply in the evening only, on completely clean and dry skin, after cleansing and toning. Distribute a small, pea-sized amount evenly over the face, avoiding the eye and lip areas, and pat gently until absorbed. Beginners should start with 2 to 3 applications per week, gradually increasing frequency as skin tolerance builds, and follow with a suitable moisturizer.

Who Is It For?

This serum is best suited for those with mature skin, uneven texture, mild dryness, or a loss of firmness and radiance, as well as anyone wanting to explore a professional-strength retinoid blend supported by soothing ingredients. It works across most skin types, though extra caution is advised for very reactive or sensitive skin.

Warnings

A patch test is recommended before first use. Daily sunscreen is essential while using this product, as retinoids can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid pairing it with strong exfoliants or other high-concentration actives in the same routine. Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without professional advice. Do not apply to broken, cracked, or severely irritated skin. Store away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
