ESK Benefits
All skin types!
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.
4-n-butylresorcinol
4-n-Butylresorcinol helps improve the appearance of pigmentation and supports an even-looking skin tone.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Panthenol
Panthenol (provitamin B5) is a humectant - meaning it helps attract and hold moisture in the skin. Once absorbed, it’s converted to pantothenic acid, a naturally occurring compound in the skin that supports hydration and helps maintain a healthy skin barrier. It’s well tolerated and commonly used in products designed for sensitive skin.
Ceramides
Emerging evidence suggests that smaller ceramides support the skin’s surface and help maintain hydration and the appearance of a healthy skin barrier.
Squalane
Squalane is a lightweight, saturated oil that’s naturally found in human sebum. It’s clear, odourless, and exceptionally stable. In skincare, squalane functions as an emollient, helping to soften and smooth the skin. It also assists in maintaining hydration and supports the absorption of other ingredients in a formulation.
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.
Caffeine
Caffeine is emerging as a promising addition to anti-aging skincare products. Dissolving microneedles provide a viable method for delivery.
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.

Apply 1 – 2 pumps to fingertips and apply to face as the last step in your morning regime. Also, for use on décolletage, back of hands and forearms.
PM
CALMING CLEANSE

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.
Do not use if pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive.
AGELESS: MICRONEEDLE PATCHES
Step 1:
For use at night on clean skin or even better, over skincare. Ensure that skin is dry.
Step 2:
Remove patch from plastic packing. Remove the white protective strip surrounding the patch. Make sure not to touch the needles
Step 3:
Apply patch to the desired area. Smooth patch over the skin, applying gentle pressure. A light prickling/ scratching sensation will be felt.
Repeat until the prickling sensation is no longer felt.
Step 4:
Leave the patch on for at least 20 minutes or (preferably) overnight.
Things to note:
It is normal for a residue to remain after removing the patch (this is excess hyaluronic acid).
Recommended minimum usage frequency: 2 times weekly.
While Ageless patches will have a small effect after just one use (due to the application of hyaluronic acid). Studies showing the real effectiveness of dissolving microneedle patches allow for 8 to 12 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
The main difference is that this kit has had the higher-risk irritants removed and replaced with gentler alternatives. No Vitamin C serum (C Forte can cause stinging and irritation on reactive skin), no standard AHA exfoliant — and instead there's a dedicated Hyaluronic Acid serum for hydration and a gentler PHA exfoliant for cell renewal. The active ingredients are still effective; they've just been chosen with skin that reacts to everything firmly in mind. If your skin during menopause or perimenopause has become newly reactive, redness-prone, or is rosacea-prone, this is the more appropriate option.
- Calming Cleanse — A gentle, soap-free, cream-based cleanser. Can also be used to remove makeup.
- Hydraboost HA Serum — A Hyaluronic Acid serum applied as the very first step after cleansing, morning and evening. Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant — it draws water into the skin and holds it there. Menopausal skin loses its ability to retain moisture as oestrogen declines, and this serum directly addresses that. Applied before everything else so the hydration gets locked in by the products that follow.
- Repair + — A barrier-focused moisturiser with Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide), Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, Squalane, and Panthenol (Vitamin B5). This is the workhorse of the morning routine — it's designed to support the skin's barrier function. Ceramides are the lipids the barrier relies on and they decline with age. Applied after Hydraboost 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. Protects against UVA & UVB rays. Daily UV protection is non-negotiable, particularly when using Vitamin A at night (which increases photosensitivity). Applied as the final morning step.
- Gentle Glow PHA Serum — A gentle night serum that exfoliates and hydrates at the same time. PHAs are a softer alternative to standard AHAs — they support cell turnover at the skin surface without the deeper penetration and irritation that Glycolic Acid can cause on sensitive skin. They also hydrate as they exfoliate, which is exactly what this skin type needs. Applied at night before Ultimate A Gold.
- Ultimate A Gold — Your Vitamin A night cream. Retinal is the most efficient over-the-counter form of Vitamin A — it supports skin cell turnover and helps maintain skin texture and tone, and is backed by Ceramides, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin B3, and 4-n-Butylresorcinol (4nB) for barrier support, hydration, and pigmentation. As oestrogen declines, skin cell renewal slows — Vitamin A directly counteracts this. Applied after the Gentle Glow PHA Serum at 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."

"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."
