Description
Combined technologies of microneedling and evidence-based ingredients to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, promote collagen growth and improve skin cell turnover.
Each patch contains 2,000 dissolving hyaluronic acid microneedles embedded with Retinal, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Copper Peptide, Ferulic Acid, Resveratrol and more. Each dissolving needle is 0.3 millimeters in length, painlessly reaching the deeper layers of the skin.
About microneedles
Microneedling in its current form started to gain prominence in the late 1990’s when a plastic surgeon described how he treated post surgical scars with a tattoo gun (with the ink removed). Fast forward a few decades and not only are microneedles used for skin antiaging, reducing facial hyperpigmentation and managing acne, but also (in the case of dissolving microneedles) for delivery of medications.
More recently micro needling has been used for the efficient delivery of skincare ingredients. The benefits of delivery ingredients through dissolving microneedles rather than traditional creams or serums include; more efficient delivery of actives to the skin for improved results and also the delivery of large molecular weight active ingredients past the stratum corneum which would otherwise block their absorption by the skin.
Evidence
Retinal
Retinal is the number 1 “must have ingredient” in any skin care regime. “Rewinds the clock on skin aging” and results in increased skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation. Also effective in managing acne.
Niacinamide
Manages Acne, Rosacea and eczema, reduces pigmentation and improves skin barrier function. An Anti-Oxidant, assists in repair of cell DNA, improves skin barrier function and manages the skin’s natural oil production increases skin elasticity and reduces pigmentation.
Dissolving Microneedles
Dissolving Microneedles can up our skincare game, by safely and painlessly getting better results than those that we get from using traditional creams or serums alone.
Since 2016, our understanding of dissolving microneedles and how they can be used for delivering skincare ingredients (and medications) has come a long way. They help in all sorts of ways, but the bottom line is that can help get better results from our skincare.
Emerging evidence
Hyaluronic Acid
The optimum Hyaluronic Acid (HA) to have in skincare is still a matter of debate. However, there is some emerging evidence for medium-size HA to be absorbed by the skin and promoting wound healing and skin regeneration.
Ferulic Acid
Ferulic acid’s emerging evidence suggests it can stimulate more skin cells, fibroblasts, collagen and elastin, improve the effectiveness of Vitamin C and help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
Green Tea
The emerging evidence for green tea in skincare suggests that it can improve acne, prevent damage from UV radiation and possibly help those living with skin conditions such as dermatitis and rosacea.
Copper Peptide
Some studies for copper peptides in skincare demonstrated that they improve skin elasticity and firmness, as well as reducing fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
Resveratrol
For a long time, scientists have wanted to add resveratrol to skincare for its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory. Some studies have shown potential for prevention of UV damage, from skin aging to skin cancer.
Usage
Step 1:
For use at night on clean skin or even better, over skincare. Ensure that skin is dry.
Step 2:
Remove patch from plastic packing. Remove the white protective strip surrounding the patch. Make sure not to touch the needles
Step 3:
Apply patch to the desired area. Smooth patch over the skin, applying gentle pressure. A light prickling/ scratching sensation will be felt.
Repeat until the prickling sensation is no longer felt.
Step 4:
Leave the patch on for at least 20 minutes or (preferably) overnight.
Things to note:
It is normal for a residue to remain after removing the patch. (This is excess hyaluronic acid)
Recommended minimum usage frequency: 2 times weekly.

ESK eye patch trial. Super easy to use. Once applied the patch blends in well against the skin. I applied the patch at night after my normal evening skincare routine (using ESK 4 & 5+) and left it until morning. As a 60 year old with sun damaged skin, I found this product to be brilliant with noticeable results to skin tone and pigmentation after the 12 day trial.

Please find attached my before and after pics for the patch review. Left eye before, right eye after 12 days of every second day applying a patch to my under eye.
I found the patches easy to use and I think they added more moisture to the fine skin under my eye.
They made the under eye more plump and my dark circle didn’t seem so dark.
Thanks for the opportunity to try these, I love trying your new creations. 😊

I noticed under my left eye after the patch test the wrinkles looked lesser. I would definitely purchase the patches and use for longer!

I think that they work if you use 3 a week however the shape is difficult to use. Would be good if you could get different shapes, rectangles?

AustraliaI have been using ESK products for 3 months now and absolutely love them. I decided to try the microneedle patches to tackle that pesky under eyes area. To be honest it was a bit underwhelming. The patches are quite small so I had to “pick an area” and there was no noticeable change. Maybe I had high expectations, and I’m sure they did something, but for the price I think the eye serum is a better option.
