Ultimate A – A retinaldehyde-based treatment that promotes cell turnover, boosts collagen production, and softens fine lines and wrinkles — with minimal irritation.
Repair+ – A nourishing moisturiser rich in ceramides, niacinamide, and panthenol to restore hydration, calm sensitivity, and reinforce the skin barrier.
Eye Serum – A lightweight, hydrating formula designed to reduce puffiness and fine lines around the delicate eye area while supporting firmness.
Zinc Shade – A broad-spectrum physical sunscreen using zinc oxide to defend against UV damage and protect against further signs of ageing and moisture loss.
Used daily, this system helps restore hydration, smooth and strengthen ageing skin, and protect against ongoing environmental stress — leaving skin soft, resilient, and visibly rejuvenated.

What's included
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.
Skin pH
Your skin's pH level sits at 4.9 and it's important to use skincare products with a similar pH. Products with higher pH levels can damage the skin resulting in dryness, itchiness and sensitivity. Subsequently, skin conditions such as Rosacea, Eczema and Acne can flare up.
Emerging evidence
Ceramides
The emerging evidence suggests that smaller ceramides can improve the skin barrier function which helps with skin hydration and decreasing skin inflammation.
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.
Squalane
Squalane is a saturated oil that is naturally present in human sebum. It is clear, odorless, very stable, nontoxic, and non-irritant squalane oil is an emollient that can penetrate the human skin increasing skin hydration and enhancing the absorption of other active substances. Squalane appears to have anti-oxidant properties protecting skin from UV radiation.
Panthenol
Panthenol is quickly absorbed by the skin and converted to pantothenic acid, which helps with wound healing, management of Eczema, has anti inflammatory effects, moisturises the skin, and enhances the skin barrier.

"I've been using ESK for one month to help with pigmentation and wow!
I feel like I have a brand new face. My skin is smoother and softer, dark spots have faded. It's taken years off in a really short time.
Everyone needs to know about ESK!"

"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!"

Rosacea Skincare Kit - Anti Redness
"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
