Description
ESK’s pigmentation kit is designed to be highly effective, well tolerated, and safe for long term use.
This ultimate anti-ageing and pigmentation kit is jam packed with powerful ingredients that work to deliver deep hydration, target hyperpigmentation and age spots, brighten dull skin and repair the visible signs of ageing.
Our Pigmentation Kit is designed to tackle pigmentation with a comprehensive approach, using multiple active ingredients to target various pathways.
Key to this kit is 4-n-butylresorcinol (4NB), a powerful tyrosinase inhibitor that has shown significant pigmentation reduction in studies, with up to 84% effectiveness. Niacinamide helps prevent melanin transfer and strengthens the skin barrier, reducing dryness and water loss.
C Forte combining L Ascorbic acid and ferulic acid helps inhibiting both tyrosinase acting as an anti oxidant.
Retinaldehyde (Vitamin A) boosts cell turnover, flushing excess pigment and addressing oxidative stress. For optimal results, a broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential to protect your progress.
All of these powerhouse ingredients are gentle, pH-balanced, and effective. This kit provides a clear path to a brighter complexion.
Featuring;
- Ingredients designed to fade pigmentation and age spots
- Brightened and healthier looking skin
- Powerful yet gentle formulations
- Designed in combination to hit all pigmentation pathways
What's included
Evidence
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
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.
Glycolic and Lactic Acid
Also known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Glycolic and Lactic Acid exfoliate and smooth the skin surfaces.
L-Ascorbic Acid
Also known as Vitamin C, L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) is a well-studied antioxidant that helps improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and supports smoother-looking skin.
Zinc Oxide
Zinc Oxide is an ingredient that forms a protective layer on the skin and helps reduce visible signs of irritation from environmental exposure.
Emerging evidence
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.
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.
Ceramides
Emerging evidence suggests that smaller ceramides support the skin’s surface and help maintain hydration and the appearance of a healthy skin barrier.
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.

"Hi, my name is Kelly and I have suffered with problematic skin for most of my life. I had terrible acne and chicken pocks as a child that resulted in scarring. Then along came the fine lines and wrinkles. In just under two weeks, I have seen a massive change! The regime is incredibly easy to follow, you don’t need much of it and it is an Australian product! I am finally proud of my skin and cannot wait to see what my face looks like in a month! I am so grateful! Thank you Esk!"

"I am so pleased with the progress my skin has made. Due to health reasons I have never been able to treat my rosacea with medication and in the past all the topical treatments I tried didn't seem to work for me. I just found good makeup and didn't go outside without wearing it.
(Side point - I love the blog tips about rosacea since they are really good information for people who are still struggling with it)
Now I feel much better about myself now my skin is improving, thank you so much for this. Because my skin is improving I finally convinced my husband to buy ESK too!
Thanks, Leslie"

"I've been using the pigmentation products for a month now, I'm very happy with the results, my brown spots have certainly faded, my overall skin is looking much better, and I'm looking forward to even greater results as I continue on using this fabulous skin care regime. I love the way my skin feels after each use and my makeup glides on to give a nice dewy effect which I haven't been able to achieve for some time. I'm feeling more confident in being able to reduce my makeup usage overall."

"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."

As a user of cosmeceuticals and active skincare for over 13 years and an ex user of prescription retinol, I can wholeheartedly say that ESK has made the biggest difference in the shortest timeframe of everything I've ever used.
I cannot recommend it enough."

"Well what a remarkable change my face has had, I have now been using your skin now for 6mths and what a difference I have experienced, my skin not only looks heaps better but also feels amazing. The softness of the skin is unbelievable. Very, very happy and I have actually weaned myself off my medication for my skin. I have tried coming off it before and within a month my face would be a mess and would have to go back on to control the acne rosacea again.
I will attach photos of before treatment and now. Once again, thank you again for your amazing products."

"My tailored ESK skincare set has exceeded all my expectations. I actually didn’t realise how dull and badly pigmented my skin was until seeing my own 4 weeks progress and honestly being in complete shock of the difference it has made!
I feel so much more confident now to let my natural skin be on show and not having to hide it behind a face full of makeup. I will 100% continue to use this regime as if it can make this difference in just one month imagine what the long term results can be.
Would highly recommend them to anyone that is facing their own skincare issues."

"I have sensitive, dry, rosacea skin but also prone to break outs especially around my chin and lips. Generally most skin care makes my skin flare up, resulting in redness and sensitivity.
ESK was recommended to me by the make up artist doing my make up for my sister in laws wedding, so I decided to give it a go. I chose the rosacea kit.
One month in and I’m really happy. Whilst I still have a minor breakout around my chin, the redness on my cheeks and break outs around my lips have disappeared. The tone of my skin has dramatically improved, to the point where I’ve had so many comments on how much better my skin looks. I feel that I could use a little extra hydration, but have not had the usual flakiness."

Being from the health care industry myself I know the importance of evidence based and scientifically tested products. I have searched for years to find a skin care range that is both gentle and safe but also effective, my skin has never been clearer. My pigmentation and skin tone are now even and I feel like I have a healthy glow. I am now happy to go without makeup and I can’t recommend E.S.K products more highly. Thank you."

I have been a client of yours for many years now… Last year I strayed off ESK and tried another product - I wasn’t happy with it and I’m back! I was originally using the normal kit with some lightening cream. After having new skin outbreaks and not sure where to go I contacted ESK who provided me with a personalized consultant Casey who talked through my current regime and how my skin was feeling. She gave me brilliant advice and we tried a new regime which has been a miracle. My skin is now glowing again and the breakouts have near disappeared. It was great as Casey checked in on me on a weekly basis just to see how it was all going. Can not recommend ESK higher!! Thankyou

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.
