Epicelline® – what is it and how does it work?

Epicelline® is a brand new, ground-breaking ingredient by Eucerin, which provides an added benefit to existing anti-ageing formulas. This new ingredient enables users to regain control of the ageing process, reactivate the youth genes and rejuvenate the skin. 

Learn more about what it is and how it works in our breakthrough innovation.

Epicelline® is a powerful active ingredient developed by our scientists and dermatologists at Beiersdorf to combat signs of ageing. It is designed specifically to be an option for those impacted by the effects of epigenetics. Our scientists have explored epigenetic skin science to learn how to reactivate the skin’s youth genes and reverse signs of ageing.

Negative external influences can deactivate the youth genes, leading to visible signs of ageing. Epicelline® works by effectively correcting epigenetic errors and reactivating genes switched off by external factors. Epigenetics is the process of cells controlling gene activity without changing the DNA sequence, which is completely natural.

Epigenetics directly reflects the study of how our lifestyle and environmental factors can impact our gene expression. However, epigenetics and the effects of it can be reduced using treatment.  

External factors that can result in epigenetic changes include: 

• Sun exposure 
• Unhealthy diets 
• Stress
• Exposure to pollution 

These factors can switch off beneficial gene activity responsible for good skin, which then leads to visible signs of ageing like wrinkles or a loss of elasticity. 

The new Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum contains Epicelline®. This revolutionary new product is designed to reverse the 10 visible signs of skin ageing*, including: 

• Firmness 
• Lifting effect 
• Wrinkle reduction 
• Fine line reduction 
• Contours 
• Hydration 
• Radiance 
• Rejuvenation 
• Evenness 
• Smoothness

• Epicelline®: reverses epigenetic changes and reactivates silenced youth genes
• Hyaluronic acid: which penetrates deep into the skin to plump up wrinkles
• Glycine Saponin: stimulates skin’s own hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin
• Enoxolone: reduces hyaluronic acid degradation

*Clinical studies over 2 weeks and 4 weeks with 43 volunteers respectively. Product-in-use test over 4 weeks with 160 volunteers. 

Epicelline® is a new ingredient found in the new Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum. It can be used as a daily application to the face in conjunction with other Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler products.

Adopting an anti-ageing skincare routine can help reduce the appearance of symptoms associated with ageing skin, such as sagging skin, neck wrinkles and fine lines.

Epicelline® has been designed to rejuvenate the skin and youth genes, which means it can have a reversible effect on the skin that has been impacted by epigenetic changes. The ingredient is a ground-breaking innovation which can be a highly suitable option for those looking to enhance their skin and regain control of the ageing process.

Clinical and dermatological studies confirm the revolutionary Epigenetic Serum with Epicelline® visibly reverses signs of ageing, and reactivates the skin’s youth genes for visible results in 4 weeks*.

There are several ways in which epigenetics manifests itself, and this means that it can have a negative effect on an individual’s outlook on their skin. However, there are some lifestyle changes you can make to improve this, such as:

• Finding ways to manage stress in a healthy way such as practising mindfulness, yoga or meditation 
• Improving your diet 
• Exercising more regularly 
• Get enough sleep each night
• Avoid toxins where possible, such as exposure to air pollution, chemicals, pesticides 

Practising these methods and implementing lifestyle changes can help to promote positive epigenetic changes. 

As well as following some healthy lifestyle habits, dermatological science is always evolving and innovating, with new ingredients, methods and technologies that can enhance your skin.

Ageing skin is a normal process that every individual will encounter in life, and as such, it will often lead to symptoms like wrinkles and fine lines. There are many ways to improve the skin’s elasticity and reduce the effects of ageing. Discover our top 10 tips to get younger-looking skin here.
