Carol's Restore & Protect Kit

This kit is a targeted routine designed for dry, ageing skin showing signs of fine lines, dullness and dehydration. Each product is selected to support skin renewal, strengthen the barrier, and visibly improve texture and tone.

C Serum Lite delivers 10% L-ascorbic acid in a light, non-greasy formula ideal for dry skin. It penetrates deeply to help reduce pigmentation, promote collagen production, and smooth fine lines — all while staying stable and effective thanks to its airless, opaque packaging.

Ultimate A features retinaldehyde, an advanced form of Vitamin A that promotes cell turnover, improves elasticity, and softens wrinkles — with less irritation than traditional retinoids.

Zinc Shade is a broad-spectrum physical sunscreen using zinc oxide to protect against UV-induced damage, prevent further ageing, and support ongoing skin repair.

Used daily, this system works to restore hydration, smooth visible signs of ageing, and strengthen the skin barrier — leaving skin firmer, brighter, and more resilient.

What's included

Zinc Shade

Zinc Shade – UV Protection Skincare Product

Zinc Shade is your perfect daily sunscreen, formulated with zinc oxide for broad-spectrum UV protection. Unlike traditional chemical sunscreens, this mineral sunscreen deflects harmful UV rays rather than absorbing them, offering gentle, effective defence against both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays.

We spent countless iterations perfecting this lightweight, non-greasy formula to avoid the typical white cast and thick feel of zinc products. The results? A matte finish that works beautifully under makeup. With anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits, Zinc Shade also supports acne-prone and sensitive skin, like rosacea and eczema. It’s your ideal go-to for sun protection and skin health.

Zinc Shade based daily cream providing you with the protection you need from both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. (Sunscreen with zinc)

Protects from the sun's UVA and UVB rays
Can be used under make-up
Rated SPF15 - it has been tested at 23 and has boosted levels of UVA protection.

Ultimate A

Our Ultimate A Night Cream harnesses the power of retinal- the most powerful yet gentle form of Vitamin A in skincare. Retinal is as effective as retinoic acid in fighting skin aging, but without the irritation. Ultimate A’s 0.06% retinal concentration, paired with niacinamide, delivers a potent anti-aging boost. This night cream promotes skin cell turnover, supports collagen and elastin production, and helps prevent UV damage. It also reduces pigmentation, improves hydration, and even soothes acne and rosacea. With Ultimate A, expect fewer fine lines, firmer, more elastic skin, and a beautifully refreshed complexion, all with a gentle, irritation-free formula ideal for nightly use.

C Serum Lite offers all the benefits of Vitamin C in a lighter, non-greasy formula, perfect for those who prefer a lighter texture. Formulated with L-ascorbic acid, the most potent, evidence-backed form of Vitamin C. This serum works to reduce pigmentation, smooth fine lines, and promote collagen production. It’s packaged in an airless, opaque bottle to maintain stability and effectiveness, preventing oxidation from light and air exposure. C Serum Lite is designed to penetrate deeply into the skin for maximum impact. Use in the morning after cleansing and before sunscreen to protect, repair, and brighten your skin all day.

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.

L-Ascorbic Acid

An anti-oxidant, effective improving protection from and repair of sun induced premature aging. It reduces wrinkles, fine lines, skin roughness and pigmentation. L-Ascorbic acid is naturally unstable and must be formulated in an oil base in order to delay oxidisation.

"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."

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.
