The Approach
A Different Approach
to Skin Health
Epicutis approaches skincare through biotechnology. Created following decades of dermatology-focused research and development by Signum Biosciences, Epicutis focuses on supporting healthy skin function through proprietary ingredients and intentionally streamlined formulations.
Rather than building an unnecessarily complicated routine, Epicutis emphasizes a simplified approach to skincare — one centered on what the skin genuinely needs.
At Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, we can help determine how Epicutis products fit into your individual skincare routine and aesthetic treatment plan.

Our Epicutis Favorites
Epicutis offers a thoughtfully curated collection of skincare products, but two have become particular favorites at Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa.
Hyvia® Crème
Deep Hydration + Barrier Support
Hyvia® Crème is Epicutis' rich, velvety moisturizer designed to combine advanced biotechnology with carefully selected botanical ingredients. At the center of the formula is HYVIA®, Epicutis' patented moisturizing ingredient derived from organic, non-GMO chia seed oil.
Key Ingredients
Benefits
Why We Love Hyvia® Crème
Healthy-looking skin starts with a healthy moisture barrier. Hyvia Crème combines a luxurious texture with a formulation centered on hydration and barrier support — one of our favorites for patients looking for a sophisticated daily moisturizer that fits the Epicutis philosophy: effective skincare doesn't need to mean an overwhelming routine.
Lipid Shield SPF 30
Mineral Sun Protection + Skin Support
Daily sunscreen is one of the most important components of a thoughtful skincare routine. Epicutis Lipid Shield SPF 30 is a tinted, mineral-based daily sunscreen formulated with non-nano zinc oxide, incorporating ingredients designed to support skin health alongside UV protection.
Key Ingredients
Benefits
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Use a water-resistant sunscreen when swimming or sweating.
Why We Love Lipid Shield
The best skincare routine still needs daily sun protection. Lipid Shield combines daily mineral SPF with the skin-health philosophy that defines the rest of the Epicutis line — treating sunscreen as a core part of the routine rather than an afterthought.
The Routine

Skincare + Treatments
Skincare That Complements Aesthetic Treatments
Your skincare routine can be particularly important when undergoing professional aesthetic treatments. Epicutis offers products specifically positioned for professional and post-procedure skincare.
At Treasure Valley Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa, skincare recommendations can be coordinated with your treatment plan.
Important: Always follow the specific post-treatment skincare instructions provided by your TVPS provider. Do not independently introduce skincare products around procedures without guidance from your provider.

Foundation of Skin Health
Why the Skin
Barrier Matters
Your skin barrier plays an important role in maintaining hydration and protecting the skin from the surrounding environment. When the barrier is stressed, skin may feel dry, tight, uncomfortable or more reactive.
Supporting healthy barrier function is an important part of a thoughtful skincare routine — especially when patients are also using active skincare ingredients or undergoing aesthetic treatments.
Epicutis places barrier support and skin resilience at the center of its skincare philosophy.
Hydration
A healthy barrier helps the skin retain moisture and maintain comfort.
Environmental Protection
An intact barrier helps protect against external stressors.
Skin Resilience
Supported barrier function can help the skin remain more resilient over time.
Tolerance of Active Ingredients
Patients with a well-supported barrier may better tolerate active skincare regimens.
Multiple Professional Lines
Professional Skincare Isn't
