ESK has been the one and only thing that has helped my skin - and quickly! I have suffered from hormonal acne for years, it was red, and sore, and I would barely leave the house without make up on, I was so embarrassed. Within a few weeks, all of the redness was gone, half of my acne settled down and it has just kept on getting better and better. Not only did these products get my acne under control, but the texture of my skin became smooth, my pores shrunk in size and the fine lines I had started to get around my eyes have even smoothed out! What! Even my scars are disappearing, and I have been previously told the only way I would be able to get rid of them would be laser procedures...I tell everyone I can about ESK, as it's been some of the best products I have used in my life!

"The Ultimate A+ is mind glowingly 20 times more superior than Retinol. Yet it doesn’t make my skin peel at all! It gives me all the benefits of a strong retinol serum without the annoying parts, all I’ve been asking for!"

"I’ve never been so excited to share my results & most importantly my love for ESK Skincare.. I’ve been using their products for about 1 year now and I’ve never been so happy with the state of my skin. After suffering from Acne for 5+ years, I was recommended ESK from a family friend, since then I’ve never looked back.. Within 3 weeks of using the products I noticed a huge difference in the texture & size of my Acne. I love that ESK is evidence based skincare, uses scientifically tested products and really cares about their customers. After spending years and years trying skincare products, I’m so glad I found ESK.. never looking back!"

I have been using your skincare for quite some time now. Recently I had a large break out on my chin- I ordered the kit suggested for acne. I cannot believe the results and how quickly they were reached!
I’ve attached some before and after photos. This was within a week of using the products- a notable difference.
Thanks for giving the confidence of great skin!!
It is magical skin care!

I have been a client of yours for many years now… Last year I strayed off ESK and tried another product - I wasn’t happy with it and I’m back! I was originally using the normal kit with some lightening cream. After having new skin outbreaks and not sure where to go I contacted ESK who provided me with a personalized consultant Casey who talked through my current regime and how my skin was feeling. She gave me brilliant advice and we tried a new regime which has been a miracle. My skin is now glowing again and the breakouts have near disappeared. It was great as Casey checked in on me on a weekly basis just to see how it was all going. Can not recommend ESK higher!! Thankyou

"Prior to using evidence based skincare, I was suffering from chronic dryness, cystic acne and sun damage. I had tried a number of different routines; both over the counter products and prescribed. Nothing seemed to be hydrating enough! This all changed when I was introduced to ESKcare! Within days I could see a noticeable difference! My skin appeared and felt healthier, fuller and softer! My acne disappeared, my skin was finally hydrated and any irritation or itchiness was eliminated with better sun protection! The best part is that even after my purchase, the ESKcare team followed up with emails (about once per month) containing little tips to maintain healthy skin! I have absolutely loved my products and cannot recommend ESKcare products enough! This is the change everyone needs! x"

"In the before photo, this was the worst acne I had ever had in my life! Due to illness and medications my skin suffered terribly, to the point where I felt I couldn't leave my house. My mum introduced me to ESK and within four weeks it transformed my skin. I will never use any other acne regime again. ESK has been the best decision I have ever made for my skin. I recommend everyone with skin issues to give it a go, you are guaranteed beautiful results! I would also like to say a big thankyou to the staff of ESK. The customer service I have received has been amazing, everyone has been so lovely!"

It has taken me a few days to consider what to write about your products. I really love the products, the one for pigmentation is so good, so is the Zinc day cream. I have had friends comment – very rare! I intend to continue use as I find the creams wonderful.
Keep up the good work.

"I will never use another product. I am so grateful for confidence ESK has given me. I never wear make up anymore. My morning and night face wash routine is quick and easy. My skin feels amazing. The team at ESK have been unbelievably helpful and generous in helping me find the products right for my skin. They took the time to explain my skin type and why I need certain products to nourish it. I recommend ESK to everyone."

"My experience - My skin has always been terribly hard to control acne wise. I have struggled with acne for 15 years and have tried almost every product under the sun (or so it feels). I am used to a lot of cystic acne along the jawline and neck. After using these products, my skin broke out into a lot of tiny bumps and texture. My skin got significantly worse but I was supported all the way by Tess. I am persevering and can happily say the last few days my skin is beginning to clear. I do have significant scarring and a few big bumps but the overall skin health is beginning to improve again. I cannot fault the customer service and support from your team! I am truly hoping this line are the products I have been dreaming of in the long run!"

"I have been using the mens care regime for some 5 weeks now and love the product. I often get comments about how well I look and how well my skin looks. As a 53 year old male I don't expect to look like 30 but I do hope that my skin care keeps me looking as good as I can. I think ESK has delivered on that promise for me. I will be using it for a long time to come."

"My skin has never been super great but it hasn't been super problematic either. It's that traditional combination skin that gets a lot of hormonal breakouts. At 31, I'm a little bit sick of having breakouts AND developing lines as well. I'm all for aging naturally and at the same time, slowing down the process and caring for my skin is important to me. I decided to try ESK because I appreciated the evidence base and the fact that the recommended starter kits didn't have a million different things to do. I work in a rewarding yet demanding job with long days and I need a skin-care routine that is simple and effective. ESK has definitely been that! I've been using it for just over a month now and I have definitely noticed a difference. My skin is a lot more firm and pigmentation has decreased. My usual monthly-hormone breakout was greatly reduced as well. One of the most wonderful aspects of my ESK journey so far has been the customer service. I have NEVER experienced such individualised, supportive customer service and I think that demonstrates how much this company actually wants to help their customers (rather than just getting their money). I highly recommend this brand of skincare and am so glad I found it."

"I’ve been very open about my sudden onset of hormonal acne after going off the pill. I’ve tried multiple products with little results, nothing really worth sticking to. I started to notice one product that was often mentioned by girls with similar issues, Ultimate A+ (retinal and niacinamide based) night cream. So, I jumped on the ESK website and had a look at their acne skincare collection. Since then, I have been religiously using the Hydroxy Cleanser, Smooth Serum, Ultimate A+ and their Hydroxy Overnight mask. The results speak for themselves! By no means has this cured my breakouts but the spots are smaller, less angry and last about half the time! I’m super impressed with this range and given it’s been formulated by doctors, dermatologists and scientists I’m not surprised at the results!"

Ultimate A+
ESK Ultimate A+ applies smoothly and appears to help blemishes resolve more quickly.

Very good night treatment
I have been using this for about 1 year and I like the feel this cream gives my skin real benefits. Not too heavy and gives you that tingly feeling

Asked to review A+
Good don’t need to use large amounts for results, A+ is definitely superior to other products that are retinol based


Big Impact Visible
I recently moved from using Ultimate A to Ultimate A+ As with all ESK products you only need a small amount and I believe the impact has been noticeable, especially on my cheeks as they were beginning to look quite lined when I smile. The texture of my skin feels smoother, but that is CB only noticeable to me. It just feels and looks much better. I also believe the is a significant impact on the even over all tone of my skin, so that makes me feel more confident when I don’t wear make up. I am very happy with the results from using this product, but overall the results of using the range of products has made a significant change for the better to the feel and appearance of my skin. Thank you.
