Epicutis Recovery Care Set | Travel-Size Lipid Serum + Hyvia Creme

The fastest way to experience what Epicutis can do for your skin, in a format designed for post-procedure recovery, travel or trying the full two-step protocol before committing to full sizes.

The Recovery Care Set contains travel-sized versions of both the Lipid Serum and Hyvia Creme, the two products that have built Epicutis into the brand trusted by dermatologists and plastic surgeons at over 3,500 clinics worldwide. The protocol is identical to the full Luxury Skincare Set: the Lipid Serum's TSC molecule repairs and protects the barrier at a membrane level, the Hyvia Creme seals in that work and adds cellular hydration, blue light protection and fine line improvement. The only difference is the size.

Who Is It For?

• Post-procedure patients wanting the Epicutis two-step protocol in a travel-friendly recovery kit from the first day after treatment
• Those wanting to try the full Epicutis protocol before investing in full-size products
• A thoughtful and clinically meaningful gift for someone recovering from a cosmetic procedure
• Frequent travellers who want to maintain their Epicutis routine away from home
• Those on GLP-1 medications wanting to start the Epicutis protocol with a smaller initial commitment
• Anyone sent home from a clinic after a procedure and wanting the most clinical post-procedure skincare available

How Does It Work?

The two-step protocol in the Recovery Care Set works identically to the full Luxury Skincare Set. TSC in the Lipid Serum integrates into membrane lipids, strengthens barrier function, reduces inflammatory signalling and protects against environmental damage. Applied immediately after, Hyvia in the Creme seals in TSC at its site of action, adds cellular fatty acid hydration and provides antioxidant protection. The combination produces a level of barrier repair and cellular hydration in the post-procedure period that no standard recovery product can replicate.

What Is Included?

• Epicutis Lipid Serum (travel size): The patented TSC super-lipid molecule that rebuilds barrier function at the membrane level. Eight ingredients. Over $20 million invested in the science behind the key active. The post-procedure serum trusted at over 3,500 clinics worldwide.
• Epicutis Hyvia Creme (travel size): The patented Hyvia chia seed extract that seals in and amplifies the Lipid Serum's benefits while delivering cellular hydration and blue light protection. The final step of the Epicutis two-step protocol.

Benefits

• Complete two-step Epicutis post-procedure protocol in a travel-friendly size

What Results Can You Expect?

Immediately: calmer, more comfortable and deeply nourished skin from the first application. At 2 weeks of twice-daily use: improved barrier integrity and noticeably reduced post-procedure sensitivity. These are the same results the full-size products produce, because the formulas are identical.

How We Use It at Face for Soul

As a pharmacist prescriber and aesthetic practitioner, the Epicutis Recovery Care Set is what we provide to patients who are new to Epicutis and are recovering from a procedure. It gives them the complete two-step protocol from day one of their recovery, in a format that is easy to use and easy to travel with, and consistently results in patients converting to full-size products once they experience what TSC and Hyvia together do for their skin during recovery.

How to Use

Apply the Lipid Serum first to clean, dry skin on the face and neck morning and evening. Press gently into the skin and allow 30 seconds to absorb. Immediately follow with the Hyvia Creme. Follow with SPF in the morning. For post-procedure use: apply as directed by your clinician, typically from the first day after treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it a good gift for someone post-procedure?
Yes. It is one of the most clinically meaningful post-procedure gifts available. TSC and Hyvia are the molecules dermatologists and plastic surgeons trust for post-procedure recovery, and the travel-sized format means the recipient can use it immediately without worrying about going through a large supply during recovery.

How does it compare to the Luxury Skincare Set?
The formulas are identical. The Recovery Care Set contains travel-sized versions for post-procedure use or to try the protocol. The Luxury Skincare Set contains full-size products for ongoing daily use. Once the Recovery Care Set has been used, the Luxury Skincare Set is the natural next step.

Can I use it with tretinoin?
Yes. Apply tretinoin in the evening first, allow to absorb, then apply the Lipid Serum followed by the Hyvia Creme. TSC and Hyvia together provide outstanding barrier support during tretinoin treatment.

Is it pregnancy safe?
Yes. Both products contain no retinoids or ingredients with established pregnancy contraindications.

Is it suitable for rosacea-prone skin?
Yes. Both products are fragrance-free and the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of TSC and Hyvia actively benefit rosacea-prone skin.

Can I use it after microneedling?
Yes, typically from the first day after treatment. Always follow your clinician's specific post-treatment instructions.

How long will the set last?
The travel-sized products used twice daily typically last 2 to 4 weeks depending on the amount applied.

Is it EWG Verified?
Yes. Every Epicutis product carries EWG Verified status for complete ingredient safety and transparency.

Is it vegan?
Yes. Both products in the Recovery Care Set are formulated without animal-derived ingredients.

Is it cruelty-free?
Yes. Epicutis does not test on animals.

Clinical Insight

As a pharmacist prescriber and aesthetic practitioner, the Recovery Care Set is the format I reach for when a patient is new to Epicutis and going through a procedure. Starting TSC and Hyvia on day one of recovery consistently produces better outcomes than introducing them later. The travel size removes the barrier of committing to a full-size investment before the patient has experienced the results, and the conversion rate to full-size products among patients who use this set is, in my experience, very high.

Research and Evidence

The actives in the Recovery Care Set are the same as in the full-size products: TSC backed by peer-reviewed publications from the Princeton University research group, and Hyvia backed by independently published research on cellular fatty acid delivery and anti-inflammatory membrane modulation. EWG Verified status confirms complete ingredient safety and transparency.

How Does It Compare?

Recovery Care Set vs Luxury Skincare Set: Same formulas, smaller sizes. Recovery Care Set for post-procedure, travel and trial. Luxury Skincare Set for ongoing daily use in full size.

Recovery Care Set vs standard post-procedure care kit: Most post-procedure kits contain generic barrier creams and gentle cleansers. The Recovery Care Set contains patented TSC and Hyvia molecules backed by peer-reviewed research and trusted at 3,500 clinics. A fundamentally different level of clinical post-procedure support.

Complete Your Routine

Morning: gentle cleanser, Epicutis Lipid Serum, Epicutis Hyvia Creme, SPF. Evening: gentle cleanser, Epicutis Lipid Serum, Epicutis Hyvia Creme. When ready to upgrade to full sizes, transition to the Epicutis Luxury Skincare Set and extend the protocol with the Arctigenin Brightening Treatment and Lipid Recovery Mask.
