I Spent Years Trying To Fix My Menopausal Skin. Then I Found Two Products That Finally Supported What My Skin Actually Needed.
Here's the truth about my skin...
Menopause completely changed my skin.

It became drier, more reactive, and no matter what I used, my skin always felt dehydrated. Then came the pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and fine lines that seemed to become more noticeable every year.

At first, I thought the pigmentation would eventually fade on its own.

But it didn’t.

I tried so many products hoping something would finally work. Expensive serums, harsh retinols, complicated routines. Some products would leave my skin irritated and flaky, while others did absolutely nothing.

What I really wanted was balance.

Something that could support my menopausal skin without making it worse. Products that could help with hydration, pigmentation, and fine lines while still being gentle on my skin.
The thing that actually changed everything was embarrassingly simple
The thing that actually changed everything was embarrassingly simple
That’s when I found ESK.
What stood out to me immediately was how gentle yet effective the products were. After years of trying harsh skincare that only left my skin irritated, it was refreshing to find products designed to support menopausal skin instead of overwhelming it.

Two products I kept reaching for were Repair+ and Ultimate A Gold because they targeted exactly what I was struggling with most — dryness, pigmentation, fine lines, and reactive skin.

Repair+ helped restore hydration and support my skin barrier so my skin finally felt calm and comfortable again.

And Ultimate A Gold completely changed the way I felt about retinal. It’s gentle enough that I can use it every night, but still incredibly effective for my pigmentation, uneven skin tone, and fine lines.

The changes didn’t happen overnight, but they happened consistently.

My skin started looking healthier, more hydrated, and more even overall. The pigmentation that had bothered me for years became less noticeable, and I stopped feeling like I needed heavy makeup every day just to feel confident.

For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’ve found products that truly understand menopausal skin.

Take a Closer Look at the Two Products

ULTIMATE A GOLD:

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 PHAs), 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. 

REPAIR+

Apply 1 – 2 pumps to fingertips and apply to your face after cleansing in the morning. Also for use on décolletage, back of hands and forearms. Can also be used in the evening to boost hydration.

ULTIMATE A GOLD

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.

Note: Do not use if pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive.

Why these two products work when everything else didn't.
💡 The combination of Niacinamide + Retinal is what makes the results feel faster than anything else I’d tried. One helps interrupt the appearance of pigmentation, the other helps reveal fresher, brighter-looking skin. Most pigmentation products try to fade dark patches after they’ve already appeared. That’s like mopping the floor while the tap is still running.

Niacinamide helps reduce the transfer of pigment to surrounding skin cells before it becomes more visible on the surface. At the same time, it supports the skin barrier, hydration, and overall skin health. Combined with Retinal, you’re not just targeting pigmentation — you’re supporting smoother, firmer, more even-looking skin overall.
Repair+
01
Repair+
Uses Niacinamide alongside ceramides, panthenol, and hyaluronic acid to support hydration, strengthen the skin barrier, and help visibly improve uneven skin tone.

💡 This is also why my dryness disappeared — supporting your skin barrier properly makes such a difference, especially with menopausal skin.
Ultimate A Gold
02
Ultimate A Gold
Uses Retinal — not Retinol. Retinal is the next-generation form of Vitamin A. It works faster and more effectively while still being exceptionally well-tolerated by the skin.

💡 This is the ingredient that accelerates cell turnover and brings fresher, smoother, more even-toned skin to the surface, while also supporting collagen for firmer-looking skin over time.

Actually Works
I have been having skin issues since 2020 and tried so many different meds, skincare products, changes to diet, the list goes on. Since using this pack I have had no flare ups and my skin actually feel and looks great. The pacakging is good, and as you require such a small amount, it lasts months, making it much more affordable. Thank you E. S. K.

You've Tried Everything Else. Now Try The Kit That Actually Works.
I spent years trying to fix my hormonal, midlife skin. The dryness, dullness, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone never seemed to improve no matter what I tried. Expensive products, harsh treatments, complicated routines — nothing really understood what my skin needed. 

Then I found ESK. For the first time, my skin felt supported. Within weeks, my skin looked brighter, smoother, more hydrated, and healthier overall. I finally felt confident in my skin again without needing heavy makeup. If your skin feels anything like mine used to, you deserve to feel that too.

Driven by evidence and proven results
Driven by evidence and proven results
When it comes to skincare, the noise is endless, but the science doesn't lie. ESK was co-founded by Dr. Ginni Mansberg, one of Australia's most trusted GPs and media doctors, who was frustrated by a market full of big claims and little proof.

At ESK, everything comes back to two things: Evidence and Integrity. Working alongside doctors, dermatologists and scientists, Dr. Ginni built a range where every ingredient earns its place, proven to work in peer reviewed journals.

The result is skincare that's effective, easy to use, and ethical, formulated for real skin concerns, with ingredients that are as well-tolerated as they are proven.

If you want a range that simply works, you're in the right place.

Can you tell me about each product? Plus
Repair+
A moisturiser formulated to support skin hydration and barrier function. Its combination of niacinamide, panthenol, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides is designed to help maintain skin moisture, strengthen the barrier function of the skin, reduce the appearance of redness, and support overall skin texture.

Ultimate A Gold
A Retinal evening cream formulated for those looking for an advanced night-time skincare option. Created with tolerance in mind, it combines ingredients to support skin that can be sensitive, reactive, or prone to irritation.
What is retinal and how is it different to retinol? Plus
Retinal (Retinaldehyde) is the more effective and gentle form of Vitamin A. It works faster and more effectively than Retinol, and all without the irritation! Because Retinal has fewer steps to convert into the active form of Vitamin A in the skin, it is used a lower concentrations than Retinol, so while it is more effective it is also very well tolerated.
