ESK Benefits
All skin types unless sensitive or acne prone; we recommend to take our Skin Quiz for a tailored kit.
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
Niacinamide
Also known as Vitamin B3. Niacinamide is a well-studied ingredient that helps maintain a healthy skin barrier and supports an even-looking skin tone. It is well tolerated and suitable for all skin types, making it a versatile addition to many skincare formulations.
Retinal
Also known as Vitamin A, Retinal is a next-generation retinoid used in skincare to help refine skin texture and improve the appearance of uneven tone and visible signs of ageing. It’s well tolerated and suitable for most skin types, including those that find traditional retinoids too harsh.
Glycolic and Lactic Acid
Also known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Glycolic and Lactic Acid exfoliate and smooth the skin surfaces.
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid’s emerging evidence suggests it can improve the effectiveness of Vitamin C and help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Ceramides
Emerging evidence suggests that smaller ceramides support the skin’s surface and help maintain hydration and the appearance of a healthy skin barrier.
Hyaluronic Acid
The optimum size of Hyaluronic Acid for skincare is still a topic of research. Emerging evidence suggests that medium-size HA can support skin hydration and help improve the appearance of skin smoothness and plumpness.
Lactobionic Acid
Lactobionic Acid is a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) that works as a gentle exfoliant and humectant. It helps to smooth skin texture and improve the appearance of dullness without the irritation often associated with stronger acids. PHAs like Lactobionic Acid also attract moisture, supporting hydrated and visibly refreshed skin.
Gluconolactone
Gluconolactone is a Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA) with gentle exfoliating and hydrating properties. It helps to remove dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, supporting a smoother and more refined appearance without the irritation often linked to stronger acids.
When you first start using Enlighten Gold, pigmentation may appear darker before it lightens, which is normal. It’s because the areas of pigmentation are more stubborn and as skin tone generally starts to change, the pigmented areas are slower to change than the surrounding skin, which can, at first, make spots look more visible. Give it 3–4 months of consistent use: it's the safest, most evidence-based way to reduce pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
The kit contains six products chosen to target pigmentation from multiple angles while supporting hydration, skin texture, and overall skin health. These are: Calming Cleanse (morning and evening cleanser), C Forte (morning Vitamin C serum), Enlighten Gold (morning active moisturiser), Zinc Shade (morning SPF), Smooth Serum (evening serum), and Ultimate A Gold (evening Retinal night cream).
Pigmentation is best tackled by targeting multiple pathways at once. Enlighten Gold's 4-n-Butylresorcinol (4nB) inhibits tyrosinase, the key enzyme responsible for excess melanin production, working directly at the source of pigment. C Forte's L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) acts as an antioxidant and helps prevent further pigment formation from UV-induced oxidative stress. Smooth Serum's AHAs (Glycolic and Lactic Acid) gently exfoliate to support surface renewal and help existing pigment fade faster. Ultimate A Gold's Retinal (Vitamin A) boosts cell turnover, helping to flush pigment to the surface and accelerate its fading, while also tackling fine lines and uneven skin tone overnight. Zinc Shade protects all of this progress, unprotected UV exposure is the primary driver of ongoing pigmentation, so daily SPF is non-negotiable. Using all six together targets the most pathways and delivers the best chance of visible results.
C Forte (16% L-Ascorbic Acid) may be too strong for very sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, and Smooth Serum is not recommended for rosacea-prone skin. We recommend to take our Skin Quiz, as we can create a specific bundle tailored to your needs! Or contact our customer care team!
We recommend taking our Skin Quiz, as we can create a specific bundle tailored to your needs to target both pigmentation and acne! Or contact our customer care team!
Both are forms of Vitamin A, but Retinol has to convert into Retinal before your skin can actually use it. Retinal skips that step, meaning faster results and better tolerability. Less irritation, more efficiency.

"So i’ve been using ESK for about 6 weeks now and i’m super happy with the results. Photo (no filter on either) on the left is before incase it’s not obvious. I have the pigmentation kit and it has made my skin feel amazing. I think there’s a difference in appearance as well. I love the ritual of putting on the different steps morning and night and I will continue using the kit now as it’s part of my daily ritual."

"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."

"I started using ESK hoping it would help reduce the redness on my cheeks. My other area of concern was the crepey skin on my neck. I have been using the rosacea kit for a month now and really love the products. The texture of my skin feels amazing and I think the redness has reduced.... hopefully more in the coming months! I think my neck has seen the biggest improvement. I think Enlighten is my favourite product, but I love using them all. I love the simplicity of the routine and how beautiful my skin feels after using it. Thank you"

"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."

"It is still a work in progress but I am so relieved to finally see results. I never had any pigmentation issues until about two years ago. I have tried so many different products and treatments which has just made my pigmentation worse. I cannot be happier as ESK has given back my confidence and I am able to face the world again without makeup!"

"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."

"Have been using the Pigmentation Kit for 4 weeks now and have noticed an improvement in my overall skin tone, my hyperpigmentation has lightened a little (in the smaller spots) and I feel that I can go out without makeup on (maybe some blush and mascara). Very happy that the kit didn't react with my skin as I have sensitive skin. My skin feels more supple and smooth too. I cannot wait to see what another month or two brings with the kit!"

"I have been using the ESK range recommended for eczema for one month and can already see pigmentation lightening and a softening of fine lines of my face. I had been using a very basic skin care regime so I had some concerns about using ESK initially given there were 5 different products (including a cleanser), but the products are very easy to use, the numbering on some of the products assists with this. They also smell great and feel wonderful on my skin, even the all important Zinc Shade."
