What are Dr. Grandel Epigran Ampoules?
Dr. Grandel Epigran Ampoules hold the brand’s signature multi-active essence from its Elements of Nature line. Dr. Grandel makes the essence from wheat germ and wheat bran, using a traditional maceration process. In fact, the brand credits this process to its founder, Dr. Felix Grandel.
Dr. Grandel sells the essence in two formats, namely a pipette bottle for daily retail use and this 24-ampoule box. Specifically, the box packages the same wheat germ complex into single-dose 3 ml ampoules for a professional treatment course.
The aqueous, quickly absorbed texture leaves skin feeling well-nourished. It also carries the essence’s characteristic natural fragrance of fresh wheat.
Key benefits of Dr. Grandel Epigran Ampoules
- Smooths and firms the look of skin: the wheat germ complex is formulated to give natural freshness and youthful-looking radiance.
- Broadly usable: Dr. Grandel notes the essence suits every skin type, including use around the eyes and on the hands.
- Nourishing without heaviness: the aqueous texture absorbs quickly, so it leaves no residue.
- A full course in single doses: 24 individually sealed ampoules make it easy to portion out a multi-week program.
Key ingredients
Triticum Vulgare (wheat) Germ and Triticum Vulgare (wheat) Bran are the essence’s core actives. They are rich in the vitamins, minerals, plant compounds and trace elements that Dr. Grandel highlights as its all-round nourishing factors.
In addition, Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) and allantoin are included for their skin-conditioning, soothing-adjacent reputation. Pantolactone and glycerin, meanwhile, round out the light, water-based formula.
How to use Dr. Grandel Epigran Ampoules
- Before application, cleanse the skin, ideally with a gentle Dr. Grandel cleanser.
- After that, open one ampoule: tap gently, wrap it in a tissue and break it at the marked point.
- Then apply the equivalent of about 2 pipette-fuls to the face, neck and décolleté. Do this once daily, in the morning and/or evening.
- Let it soak in briefly before following with a moisturizer.
- Finally, continue for a 1 to 4 week course, or use it ongoing as part of a daily routine.
Use the contents of an ampoule promptly once opened. For external use only; avoid the eye area and keep out of reach of children.
Who it is for
Epigran suits anyone looking for a lightweight, traditionally made essence to smooth and firm the look of skin. Dr. Grandel notes it is gentle enough for the face as well as around the eyes and on the hands.
However, this ampoule format targets estheticians running Epigran as a professional treatment course.
Retail size vs. professional size
This listing is the 24-ampoule professional box (3 ml each) rather than the retail pipette bottle. Dr. Grandel sells that smaller pipette bottle to consumers for daily home use.
In contrast, this listing’s single-dose ampoules suit a salon course or a client committing to a longer program. This SKU is also the only Epigran size in OSC’s current batch.
