Enlighten Gold (15ml)
Meet your new secret weapon against uneven skin tone. Enlighten Gold is a lightweight moisturiser designed to help fade those stubborn dark patches that won't budge.
We've blended high strength 4nB (a gentle, and highly effective pigmentation fighter) with PHAs (think of them as a soft exfoliant that plays nice with sensitive skin) and niacinamide to support your skin’s barrier to effectively improve your skin. Whether your skin is oily, dry, or somewhere in between, this pigmentation moisturiser fits right in.
Why you'll love it:
• Fades dark spots and uneven tone without irritation.
• Lightweight and hydrating, works on all skin types, including sensitive skin.
• PHAs gently exfoliate while 4nB targets pigmentation.
For best results, use Enlighten Gold in the morning and Ultimate A Gold at night (available together in our Golden Duo). This AM/PM approach targets pigmentation while supporting long-term skin change.

Description
A lightweight, hydrating brightening treatment to help visibly improve hyperpigmentation while remaining exceptionally gentle on sensitive skin.
Enlighten Gold builds on the success of our original Enlighten by combining 0.3% 4nB with PHAs to deliver enhanced brightening results without increasing irritation. This formula is designed to tackle stubborn hyperpigmentation while respecting and improving the skin barrier, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. For best results we suggest pairing Enlighten Gold (in the morning) with Ultimate A Gold (at night), creating a simple morning and evening routine that effectively and gently targets but uneven skin tone as well as the common signs of skin aging.
Evidence
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.
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
Emerging evidence
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.
Usage
Apply 1 – 2 pumps to fingertips and apply to face after cleansing and under sunscreen in the morning. Can also be applied in the evening.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use and contact customer care.

"Prior to using ESK my skin was horrible, I tried lots of different skin care products, medication, saw a skin care specialist and nothing worked. It was my mum that actually found ESK and got me using the products and within a week my skin had already cleared up. I absolutely love how they feel and how reliable this brand is. I use my products every day morning and night and don't know what I would do without them!"

"I have been using the ESK skincare range for 4 weeks now after a recommendation from a close friend. I found this was great in treating both my acne and rosacea and reduced the appearance of the bumps I had on my skin. The redness hasn't yet disappeared but it has certainly reduced in it's severity and my skin feels much smoother and less oily as well. A great range of products that I can highly recommend."

"So i’ve been using ESK for about 6 weeks now and i’m super happy with the results. Photo (no filter on either) on the left is before incase it’s not obvious. I have the pigmentation kit and it has made my skin feel amazing. I think there’s a difference in appearance as well. I love the ritual of putting on the different steps morning and night and I will continue using the kit now as it’s part of my daily ritual."

"I have been using your skincare for quite some time now. Recently I had a large break out on my chin- I ordered the kit suggested for acne. I cannot believe the results and how quickly they were reached! I’ve attached some before and after photos. This was within a week of using the products- a notable difference. Thanks for giving the confidence of great skin!! It is magical skin care!"

"I’ve been using the Rosacea skin care kit for 5 weeks and the products have been great! Often I have trouble finding skincare that doesn’t irritate my skin and make it red and itchy but ESK products have not caused any redness or itching at all. My skin feels soft and well hydrated. I love how easy the products are to use and this makes my routine so quick! I will continue to use ESK. I also love that I’m supporting Australian owned and made products."

"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."

"Have really noticed a difference in my rosacea in the short time I have been using the ESK products in the rosacea kit. The bottles are numbered which makes them a breeze to use and the products themselves feel amazing on my skin. Will continue to use these products (and add a few more!) as am sure I will continue to see results the longer I continue to use them."

"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."

“ESK has been a godsend during these strange bouts of eczema I’ve suddenly been experiencing. I love how a “formula” was tailor made to my skin type and situation. I can’t get enough of the Ultimate A and the B Quenched- they feel so soothing on my face at night when the eczema tends to start flaring up.”

"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! "

"I started using ESK hoping it would help reduce the redness on my cheeks. My other area of concern was the crepey skin on my neck. I have been using the rosacea kit for a month now and really love the products. The texture of my skin feels amazing and I think the redness has reduced.... hopefully more in the coming months! I think my neck has seen the biggest improvement. I think Enlighten is my favourite product, but I love using them all. I love the simplicity of the routine and how beautiful my skin feels after using it. Thank you"

"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."
