ESK Benefits
Suitable for dry, aging or menopausaul skin types. We don't recommend this kit for sensitive or acne prone skin (please see our other menopausal kits for these concerns, take our Skin Quiz or reach out to customer support at info@eskcare.com)
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.
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.
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
Glycolic and Lactic Acid
Also known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids. Glycolic and Lactic Acid exfoliate and smooth the skin surfaces.
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.
Dissolving Microneedles
Dissolving microneedles are designed to deliver skincare ingredients into the skin in a precise and controlled way. Since 2016, research into dissolving microneedles has advanced, and they are now commonly used in skincare to support the absorption of active ingredients and improve the appearance of skin texture and smoothness.
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.
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.
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.
Green Tea
Green Tea Extract is a plant-based antioxidant that supports the skin’s surface and helps maintain an even-looking tone and smoother texture.
Copper Peptide
Some studies for copper peptides in skincare demonstrated that they improve the appearance of skin elasticity and firmness, as well as reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and hyperpigmentation.
Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a plant-derived antioxidant that helps support an even-looking skin tone and improves the appearance of skin texture and smoothness.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
The short answer: oestrogen. As oestrogen declines, the skin loses a lot of the support it's been quietly relying on for years. Oestrogen plays a role in collagen production, skin hydration, barrier function, and the skin's natural ability to retain moisture. When it drops, skin can become noticeably drier, thinner, more reactive, and slower to renew itself. Pigmentation can also emerge or worsen, oestrogen fluctuations affect melanin production in the skin. This kit addresses all of those changes in one routine.
- Calming Cleanse — A gentle, cream-based, soap-free cleanser that won't strip or irritate. Menopausal skin tends to be drier and more reactive, so a gentle, acid-free cleanser is the right starting point rather than anything more aggressive. Can also be used to remove makeup.
- C Forte — Your morning Vitamin C serum. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that neutralises the free radical damage caused by UV and environmental exposure. It also helps support a more even skin tone by interfering with the enzyme that produces pigment. Applied after cleansing, before Repair +.
- Repair + — A barrier-focused moisturiser containing Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, and Panthenol. Ceramides are the lipids the skin barrier relies on, and they decline with age and falling oestrogen levels. Applied after C Forte in the morning, and can also be used at night for extra hydration if needed.
- Zinc Shade — A broad-spectrum SPF 15 matte day cream with Zinc Oxide to protect against UVA & UVB rays. Daily UV protection is non-negotiable — UV is one of the main drivers of pigmentation and accelerates the visible signs of skin aging. Applied as the final morning step.
- Gentle Glow PHA Serum — A gentle night serum that is designed to gently exfoliate and hydrate at the same time. PHAs are a gentler alternative to standard AHAs — they exfoliate the skin surface to support cell renewal, but their larger molecule size means they work more slowly and are much better tolerated on reactive or dry skin. Applied at night before Ultimate A Gold.
- Ultimate A Gold — Your Vitamin A night cream and the centrepiece of this kit. Retinal is the most efficient over-the-counter form of Vitamin A — it supports skin cell turnover, helps maintain skin texture and tone, and is supported by a full cast of barrier-building actives including Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin B3, and 4-n-Butylresorcinol (4nB), which targets the appearance of pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles. As oestrogen declines, skin cell turnover slows — Vitamin A directly counteracts this. Applied after the Gentle Glow PHA Serum each night.
- Ageless Microneedle Patches (optional add-on) — Tiny dissolving patches loaded with Vitamin A, Vitamin B3, Caffeine, Copper Peptides, and antioxidants. The microneedles are made from Hyaluronic Acid and dissolve into the skin.
Both are forms of Vitamin A, but Retinol needs to convert twice before it becomes active in the skin. Retinal only needs to convert once — meaning it gets to work more directly and efficiently. This makes Retinal the most potent over-the-counter Vitamin A available, stronger than Retinol and better tolerated than prescription-strength tretinoin. It's the sweet spot between efficacy and tolerability, which is why it's the form ESK uses.

"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."

"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."

"Can you turn back the years? Perhaps not but it appears that you can minimise the damage that many of them caused. I have the Mature Pigmented Kit and I love it. These two photos were taken at the same time in the morning bot with no products on and a month apart. I think that my skin looks brighter, smoother, healthier and thankfully younger."

"After using ESK skincare for the past 2 months or so I have noticed a huge difference in the clarity of my skin. It FEELS so clean and fresh, and the size of my pores has diminished. I LOVE how these products feel, and how easily they go onto the skin. It’s such a simple process, clearly numbered, making it quick and easy to use. The customer service is outstanding, not to mention super- fast delivery. I will not be changing skin products any time soon! "

"At first, I wasn’t sure how well it worked, but now that I’ve seen the comparison photos, I’m really impressed. It’s way better than I thought it was going to be. When I first started using it the first couple of days, I thought there was a bit of tightness and dryness, but when I got used to using it, I realised that wasn't really the case, I think it was just a case of my skin settling down. A couple of times I had to use the Enlighten on the evening, but other than that I just stuck to my usual cleanse, tone, serum and then using the Enlighten and I've been really pleased with the results."

"Very pleased. Dear husband remarked a positive effect on crows feet at Christmas. I can really see the change on my aging/ sunspot. Also between my eyebrows... I've been impressed with the results of using ESK for 3+ months. There is noticeably less splotches to my skin (across cheeks/under eyes) and also the pigmentation at my right eye is much lighter."

"Overall, I am very happy to have discovered this brand and being given an opportunity to try some of their products, which I can honestly say have changed the way I view skincare. You definitely do not need a 10 step routine to get great results. Using 3-4 products work just as well and I am pleased to recommend this to any beauty seeking new skincare!"

"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.

"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."

"My skin was very dry and brittle and I was having constant break outs since hitting peri-menopause which I later realised was rosea. I continually had red pimple like sores all over my chin and around my mouth and had started on my eyes. Since starting this skin care it has completely cleared up. I have had only one break out and it was gone in a day. It has made such a big difference. I have only been using it for a few weeks now but my skin is brighter and skin tone more even. My skin also feels firmer. I've since ordered a kit for my daughter who has just turned 16 and having lots of acne issues. Within two days we could already see a difference."
