Frequently Asked Questions
Peptide Primer is a lightweight, peptide-based daily moisturiser that hydrates the skin, supports barrier function, and creates a smooth base under makeup. It's a two-in-one product, working as both a skincare moisturiser and a makeup primer in a single step.
Both are moisturisers with a peptide base, but they serve slightly different purposes. Repair+ is focused on barrier repair and intensive hydration with ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid at three molecular weights. Peptide Primer is lighter in texture, emphasises smoothing and firming with Matrixyl 3000, and is specifically designed to double as a makeup primer. It's a good option for those who want a smoother skin finish and a seamless base for makeup.
As a moisturiser and primer, it should be applied after any serums and before Zinc Shade in your morning routine. If using as a standalone moisturiser at night, apply as your final step.
Yes, it is non-comedogenic, gentle, and non-irritating, and is described as particularly well suited to dry and sensitive skin types. Note that it does contain floral essential oils (rose, lavender, geranium), so those with known fragrance sensitivities should take this into account.
Yes, this is one of its key uses. The lightweight, non-greasy texture creates a smooth, even canvas that helps makeup apply more evenly and sit better on the skin.

"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!"

"I’m very impressed with my new skincare regime.ESK recommended a skincare pack for me after I answered a few questions. 1 week after receiving my skincare I had a friendly phone call to make sure l was happy with everything. I have skin pigmentation and feel that my skin now has more of an even tone and a healthy glow. My skin feels soft and smooth. There are more days now l can go without makeup. Thankyou for your recommendation."

"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."

"I’d just like to say to anyone requiring a great Skin care regime, I have found it in E.S.K Skin care. I am so impressed with the products I use.I have been using my products for around 5 weeks, just re-ordered another cleanser. My face has never felt so soft and supple with a better skin tone, looks fresher & plumper. Don’t need a lot of products to achieve the results I’m after. Customer Service is second to none, quick & easy to deal with. Very professional. Thank you Evidence Skin Care"

"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."
