FINALIST
Best Hyaluronic Acid Serum 2026

$380.00

Epicutis Lipid Serum is a lightweight facial serum with eight ingredients designed to help hydrate, calm and support the skin barrier. Suitable for sensitive and stressed skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling soothed, comfortable and nourished.

Formulated with excellent clean ingredients.
Epicutis is committed to high standards of integrity, quality and responsibility across its supply chain. Their oil Cleanser is manufactured in the USA. The brand prioritises ingredient sourcing through reputable suppliers expected to meet recognised labour and compliance standards. Quality control processes include microbiological testing of both bulk and finished goods and full lot traceability is maintained to support product safety, consistency and regulatory compliance.
Epicutis uses a glass bottle as the primary packaging for Lipid Serum and incorporates recyclable materials in most packaging components, with the exception of a removable foam insert. Secondary packaging consists of a cardboard box, marketing card and natural translucent paper. Orders are shipped in boxes with void fill and tape and some void fill materials may also be recyclable.
Epicutis supports community wellbeing through charitable involvement, including recent sponsorship of Sydney’s Black & White Ball. This event raised funds and awareness for the Women’s Resilience Centre, which supports long-term recovery for women and families impacted by domestic violence and trauma and KYDS, which provides free youth mental health counselling.

Product Reviews by Experts


I think this is a wonderful option for anybody who has complicated, very reactive skin. It is one of the most gentle yet deeply efficient serums I have tried. The texture is really unique and a little goes a long way. Loved it. The customer unboxing experience was the best out of all the unboxing, it felt luxe, the weight of the bottle also gives off that feel. This is a high end product and it is felt all throughout the experience. This is the cleanest brand I have had the privilege to look at, and yes I had a look at their other products. I love that this brand was launched 29 years after the research started. I believe this is a beautiful example of getting the fundamentals right (formulation, ingredient sourcing from reputable suppliers products made in the USA, …), now that they have gotten all of those right, they are showcasing transparency and integrity by having as their next goal to have 100% recyclable packaging. Beyond the products themselves, I love that they’re supporting meaningful local causes, including organisations helping women and families recover from domestic violence and providing free mental health counselling for young people. I know that this brand is new to the AU/NZ market but I know the market will love it, the products speak for themselves.


This serum feels beautifully luxurious despite its minimalist formula. The texture is noticeably richer than most serums, yet it absorbs remarkably quickly, leaving the skin smooth, hydrated and perfectly primed for makeup. The oversized glass dropper and premium packaging elevate the entire experience, making it feel like a truly high-end skincare ritual. I appreciate the brand’s emphasis on quality control, traceability and product integrity, alongside its support of organisations helping women and young people through initiatives such as the Women’s Resilience Centre and KYDS. It’s a thoughtful brand that combines scientific simplicity with genuine care for both product quality and community.


Visually, the crystal-clear serum has the thick, flowing consistency of honey – yet it feels remarkably lightweight as it smooths over the skin and absorbs quickly, leaving behind a truly silky smooth finish. Fragrance-free and formulated with just eight thoughtfully selected ingredients, this is a wonderful example of how a minimalist formula can deliver results. I appreciate Epicutis’ commitment to social responsibility through its support of organisations like the Women’s Resilience Centre and KYDS, alongside its focus on supply chain integrity, traceability and product safety.
