Anti-aging skincare

Due to the natural process of ageing, mature skin becomes drier, rougher, more fragile, resulting in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. ESK’s anti-ageing skincare range includes concentrated ingredients that are specifically designed to gently target fine lines and wrinkles, fade pigmentation and minimise the appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our skincare collections, including what's included, who they're for, and how to choose the right one.

Yes, the two concerns overlap significantly. Retinal accelerates cell turnover, helping shift pigmented cells out of the skin faster. L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) helps neutralise the UV signal that triggers excess melanin production. Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid as well as PHAs (Polyhydroxy acids) support surface renewal, improving uneven skin tone over time. Combining these actives with daily SPF gives you an approach that addresses both aging and discolouration simultaneously, which is why ESK's anti-aging products are also core to its pigmentation routines.

Mature and menopausal skin faces a dual challenge: accelerated collagen loss (driven by falling oestrogen) and a disrupted skin barrier which causes increased sensitivity and dryness. A strong routine includes a gentle cleanser, Vitamin C serum in the morning, a ceramide-rich moisturiser to support barrier function, retinal skincare product at night, and an SPF daily. ESK has dedicated collections for both Menopausal and Perimenopausal skin with products matched to these specific needs.

Yes, but choosing the right products for your skin is important. Sensitive skin doesn't mean you can't use evidence-based anti-ageing ingredients, it just means you may need to start with gentler formulations. For vitamin A, retinal (retinaldehyde) is generally better tolerated than retinol while still delivering excellent anti-ageing benefits. Many people can use retinal more comfortably, although those with very sensitive skin should still introduce it gradually. For vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid is the gold standard for improving photodamaged skin, but because it's formulated at a low pH, it can sometimes cause temporary stinging or irritation in sensitive skin. If your skin is more reactive, it might be better to avoid Vitamin C serums. The key to success is matching your skincare to your skin's current tolerance, not using the strongest products from day one. The ESK Skin Quiz can help identify the best anti-ageing routine for your skin type, sensitivity and experience with active ingredients.

The three ingredient groups with the strongest evidence for anti-aging are cell regulators, antioxidants and chemical exfoliants - in that order. In the cell regulator category, Vitamin A is by far the most studied and most effective ingredient across all anti-aging actives. Retinal (Retinaldehyde) is the form ESK uses because it is both highly effective (10-20x's more effective than Retinol) and non-irritating, even for sensitive skin. In the antioxidant category, L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) have the strongest evidence. For exfoliation, Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid have the best clinical support. And the emerging evidence for Polyhydroxy acids make them a great option for sensitive skin. Daily broad-spectrum SPF sits above all of these: UV exposure is the primary driver of premature skin aging, and no active ingredient can outwork unprotected sun exposure.

Skin ageing is driven by two main processes: chronological ageing (the natural ageing process) and premature ageing, also known as photoageing.

Chronological ageing happens naturally over time as the skin produces less collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, and its ability to repair and renew itself slows. This leads to thinner, drier skin, fine lines and a gradual loss of firmness.

Premature ageing is caused by external factors, particularly cumulative UV exposure, which is responsible for up to 80% of visible facial ageing. UV damage breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to deeper wrinkles, rough texture, uneven pigmentation and loss of elasticity. Smoking, air pollution, poor sleep and diet can also contribute to premature skin ageing.

While we can't stop chronological ageing, we can slow and even improve many of the visible signs of UV skin damage. Most evidence-based skincare ingredients, including sunscreen, vitamin A (retinal), vitamin C and niacinamide, work by helping to prevent or repair the effects of photoageing.

The only form of Vitamin C with strong clinical evidence for anti-aging is L-Ascorbic Acid. Most brands use bonded derivatives like Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate and still call it Vitamin C on the label. But there is no evidence those alternatives actually work. The challenge with L-Ascorbic Acid is stability: it degrades when exposed to light and air. ESK formulates its Vitamin C products in airless, opaque packaging specifically to maintain stability and ensure the ingredient is still active when it reaches your skin.

Both are forms of Vitamin A but they work differently. Retinol requires a two-step conversion process in the skin before it becomes Retinoic Acid, the active form the skin actually uses. Retinal is one step closer, meaning it converts more efficiently and delivers faster results at lower concentrations. Retinal is also significantly better tolerated than Retinol, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. It is more expensive to produce, which is why most brands stick with Retinol, but the evidence for Retinal is strong and the irritation profile is in a different league. It is the only form of Vitamin A ESK uses.

"I have been using ESK skincare products for about 8 months now and I’m absolutely loving the results. I’m in my 50’s and was concerned with ageing and dryness. I find the ESK products have really improved my dry skin and overall skin texture. I also find the pump application great and one pump gives you the right amount so you’re not wasting any product. I was initially drawn to ESK because it is Australian made, evidence based and cruelty free but have continued with it because I’m loving the results and find it’s great value for money. All in all I’m very happy with the products and couldn’t recommend them more highly."

"Have really noticed a difference in my rosacea in the short time I have been using the ESK products in the rosacea kit. The bottles are numbered which makes them a breeze to use and the products themselves feel amazing on my skin. Will continue to use these products (and add a few more!) as am sure I will continue to see results the longer I continue to use them."

"Can you turn back the years? Perhaps not but it appears that you can minimise the damage that many of them caused. I have the Mature Pigmented Kit and I love it. These two photos were taken at the same time in the morning bot with no products on and a month apart. I think that my skin looks brighter, smoother, healthier and thankfully younger."

"After using ESK skincare for the past 2 months or so I have noticed a huge difference in the clarity of my skin. It FEELS so clean and fresh, and the size of my pores has diminished. I LOVE how these products feel, and how easily they go onto the skin. It’s such a simple process, clearly numbered, making it quick and easy to use. The customer service is outstanding, not to mention super- fast delivery. I will not be changing skin products any time soon! "

"Very pleased. Dear husband remarked a positive effect on crows feet at Christmas. I can really see the change on my aging/ sunspot. Also between my eyebrows... I've been impressed with the results of using ESK for 3+ months. There is noticeably less splotches to my skin (across cheeks/under eyes) and also the pigmentation at my right eye is much lighter."

"I am extremely happy with ESK and have used it before. I do love the travel kit which I took to Europe when I last went a few years ago and loved the convenience of smaller containers. I do love your product and feel it has improved the texture of my skin and I feel the vitamin A and C helps to improve my complexion."

"I was searching for an Australian product that could assist me in my ageing skin and came across E.S.K. I was really impressed with the quality of their products and the customer service was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. After starting the pigmentation product line several weeks ago, my skin is feeling more hydrated and I am looking forward to seeing further results with my pigmentation and texture over the coming months."

"I've had significant freckles since I was a kid (and yes, my parents were strict on
sunscreen use!) and as I have aged they have darkened and 'age spots' have appeared.
I was keen to try the ESK products and see if they would soften the pigmentation. I
noticed a reduction in pigmentation after using the ESK Enlighten Gold (with daily
sunscreen) for approx 6 months and this has been improved by adding the Ultimate Gold
in the evening.

I didn't expect fast results based on my history and from explanations in the articles on
pigmentation written by Dr Ginni.

I'm very happy with the results so far, I love the products and also learning of the science
behind them.

Congratulations on a fabulous science backed Australian-made product!"

"WOW!!.... I thought my skin was in pretty good condition before I started using E.S.K and I wasn't sure if I was going to see any significant improvement. Well was I wrong!! After just 1 month of using E.S.K, my skin looks brighter, lighter and feels so much smoother. These products feel beautiful on your skin and with an easy to follow guide on how to use them, your skincare routine has become that much simpler. Delivery is quick and the follow-up customer service is excellent."

"I found the whole range very easy to use and great quality. I found the number 3 worked really well for me. I have used similar products in other high end ranges with the same UV properties and your number 3 impressed me. I couldn’t feel it on my face and it sat perfectly under my make up all day. Wonderful as a primer."

"I have been using the range for around 5 weeks now and I really love the products. I have the range for Mature pigmented skin and the difference the products have made is noticeable for me. I had quite a lot of redness and lots of pigmentation. I always felt embarrassed not wearing a full coverage foundation. I also had skin that felt and looked tired with some dry patches. I noticed a difference in how my skin felt in the first week. By week 2 I was starting to see a softening of the pigmentation. 5 weeks in and I can really see the improvement. Simple regime, great products, practical packaging and excellent service."

Anti-aging creams, serums & kits

Before you buy an anti aging cream, there are some things you need to know! There are a tonne of changes to the skin as you start aging. The scaffolding inside your skin starts to wear out. Collagen content reduces, as does elastin. It’s not just the skin that thins out, so does the fat layer that sits below the skin giving it support. All of this causes skin sagging and the appearance of larger pores, fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to thinner, less bouncy skin, you can get pigmentation. This happens because the pigment or melanin in the skin gets trapped, and clumps together! Finally a compromised skin barrier function and less natural skin oils result in dry, itchy and more irritable skin.

The good news is you can still combat the appearance of skin aging and a number of anti aging skincare ingredients are backed by great evidence for efficacy. Approximately 80% of facial skin aging is attributed to UV-exposure so your first step must be a broad spectrum SPF day cream. Broad spectrum because it combats both UVA (A for aging) and UVB (B for burning) rays. Heavy hitter number two is Retinal or Vitamin A, which is the best studied AND most effective ingredient for antiaging, building collagen, combatting pigmentation and enhancing skin cell renewal. The next must have anti-aging ingredient is Ascorbic acid or vitamin C which prevents and repairs sun damage, is an antioxidant, reverses pigmentation, combats wrinkles, fine lines and skin roughness. Vitamin B3 AKA niacinamide helps reduce hyperpigmentation, combat wrinkles and improve skin hydration. Alpha Hydroxy Acids increase collagen, reduce wrinkles and decrease pigmentation.
