Your ultimate night of gold starts here!
*Note for the (tiny) number of users with extremely sensitive skin, Ultimate A may be more suitable
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.
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.
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
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.
EXPECTATIONS, THE GOOD THINGS:
Most clinical trials run 8-12 weeks, but real-world results often start sooner:
Smoother skin: Exfoliation results in 5-7 days
Wrinkles & fine lines reduction: Usually visible in 3-4 weeks
Even skin tone: Pigmentation varies - surface issues (4-6 weeks), deeper pigmentation (2-3 months), dermal pigmentation (6-12 months, may not respond to topicals)
THE OTHER THINGS:
When introducing skin cell turnover ingredients (Vitamin A and PAHs), some may experience temporary dryness or a few pimples in the first month, lasting no more than a week. If you experience more or longer-lasting effects, contact our customer care team - we’re here to help you achieve your best skin.
Apply 1 – 2 pumps to the fingertips and apply to the face after cleansing as the final step in your night-time routine night. Also, for use on décolletage, back of hands and forearms.
Do not use if pregnant trying to conceive.
How to use this
Brighten Your Skin
A revolutionary night cream featuring Vitamin A (Retinal – 0.1% - much more effective than Retinol, but without the irritation), Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide – 5%), gentle PHA (Lactobionic Acid – 5%), advanced pigmentation corrector (4-n-Butylresorcinol – 0.1%), Hyaluronic Acid (1.6%), and Ceramides (0.06%).
Vitamin A is the ingredient with the strongest anti-aging evidence and Retinal is the most effective and least irritating form of Vitamin A. It promotes collagen growth and increases skin elasticity. Combined with barrier-repairing niacinamide and gentle Lactobionic Acid, this formula delivers superior results while being exceptionally well-tolerated. The addition of 4-n-Butylresorcinol targets pigmentation and age spots. Suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, reactive, and acne-prone skin. The ultimate night cream that leaves no one behind!

"I would just like to say how impressed I am with ESK skin care.
I turn the big 60 this year and have be looking for a skin care for mature skin. I was watching Sunrise and Ginni came on talking about ESK. So I thought I would give it ago and I loved the fact that it was made in Australia. I love the way the cleanser made my skin feel so clean and light and the way the products sunk straight into my skin. Which I have been looking for forever. Most products just sit on top of my skin which is frustrating and can be very expensive.
My skin looks smoother and plumper. Finally something that works 😊 Thanks ESK"

"I have noticed an overall difference in the feel of my skin, it feels more plump and the colour has evened out. Wrinkles appear to have less depth. I have just started to use eye serum which I am excited about.
Extremely impressed with results so far, only regret is I wish I had started using it sooner."

"I’ve been using the pigmented skin kit for a month and have noticed that my skin is now smooth and soft, whereas before it was rough and patchy. Areas of pigmentation are lighter and less apparent. I’ve found the product to be pleasant to use and I love the smell of the cleanser. My travel kit is also lasting a lot longer than I expected!"

"My name is Nadine and I'm 64 years old. I did all the wrong things when I was younger and my skin has been damaged by the sun over the years. I've been using the E.S.K anti aging products for a month now and have already noticed a difference in how my skin looks. My skin tone has improved, wrinkles around my eyes and upper lip seem reduced and the overall feel of my skin is softer. I love the products and one pump of each product is enough for great coverage. I would definitely recommend E.S.K to others. I'm really happy with the results so far. Thank you E.S.K"

"E.S.K is a fabulous product. I thought I would struggle to incorporate a skincare routine in my life but after using E.S.K for a month, I realised how easy and rewarding it is to take better care of my skin. I love that all the bottles are labelled using numbers so even on a busy morning, I can certainly take care of my skin without worry."

"I have used a lot of different skincare products over the years, including professional clinical products and without a doubt, I have found ESK skincare to be the best. Their evidence based products feel lovely on my skin and my expression/age lines have softened and are less noticeable. I am lucky to be blessed with good skin, especially for my age, but ESK products are definitely making a positive difference and my skin looks and feels healthy. I am a repeat customer and will happily remain a loyal one."

"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."

"I had blotchy skin tone and at aged 50 wrinkles appearing. I have been using ESK for a year now and it is a top quality facial skincare product. My skin tone is much more even and the redness is gone. Both photos are taken without any makeup. I use the Pigmented/Age Spot Kit on my skin. Thank you Esk for developing this skincare range."

"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."

"Here are my before and after photos taken 5 weeks apart. I am really enjoying my ESK skincare. My biggest concern was my uneven skin tone due to sun damage. I think after using these products for such a short time the difference is remarkable. My skin feels hydrated and plump and the tone is much more even. I highly recommend these products as they are very easy to use with the am and pm marked on the bottles. They really do work."

Frequently Asked Questions
Ultimate A Gold is our Vitamin A night cream designed to target aging, dullness and pigmentation while improving skin texture and tone.
If using Ultimate A+ for acne and it is well tolerated, then no. If using Ultimate A+ for aging and hyperpigmentation then yes (you are getting more bang for your buck).
If using Ultimate A: for aging and or hyperpigmentation and your skin is not sensitive, then yes. If you have very sensitive skin, patch test a sample first. There is a small increased risk of sensitivity from Ultimate A Gold vs. Ultimate A. If you are unlucky and are one of those few who is sensitive to Ultimate A Gold, then Ultimate A is suggested.
Only in the evening! Apply after serums (Gentle Glow or Smooth Serum) or after cleansing if not using serums.
Retinal (Retinaldehyde) is the more effective form of Vitamin A. It works faster than Retinol, and all without the irritation! Retinal has fewer steps to convert into the active form of Vitamin A in the skin.
While Ultimate A Gold has 5% PHA (Lactobionic Acid), Gentle Glow has 10% (5% Lactobionic Acid and 5% Gluconolactone). The best evidence for PHA’s is at 10% concentration. So while Ultimate A gold has 5%, I would suggest that better results are available still continuing to use it.
