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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! While a complete regime should include a selected range of active and barrier supporting ingredients, Retinal is a powerful all-in-one ingredient that targets a variety of concerns.
Vitamin A (Retinal) has been widely studied to prove its effectiveness for managing acne. Aim to use the strongest Retinal your skin can comfortably tolerate. If your skin isn't sensitive, then we recommend using Ultimate A+.
The Ultimate A night cream should be applied nightly, over your exfoliant (Gentle Glow or Smooth Serum). If desired you can follow your Retinal with an additional hydrating moisturiser.
Retinal (Retinaldehyde) is the more effective form of Vitamin A. It works faster than Retinol, and all without the irritation! Retinal has fewer steps to convert into the active form of Vitamin A in the skin.

"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."

"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."

“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.”

"Very pleased. Dear husband remarked a positive effect on crows feet at Christmas. I can really see the change on my aging/ sunspot. Also between my eyebrows... I've been impressed with the results of using ESK for 3+ months. There is noticeably less splotches to my skin (across cheeks/under eyes) and also the pigmentation at my right eye is much lighter."

"I have noticed a huge change in my complexion using the Rosacea kit with reduced redness and smoother, clearer skin. I tried quite a few products last year that continually aggravated my skin so I'm so happy to have discovered ESK. Thanks for a great product which actually works! 🙂 Also wanted to mention your amazing customer service. I've never had anyone follow up with me before to see what works for me and that was so nice. Tess took the time to give me advice and I even got to try a new product sample. It took a bit longer than the month for my skin to get used to the products though it was definitely worth the wait."

"I have used the ESK Sensitive skin kit for almost 2 years now. The improvement in my skin has been honestly incredible. I have had perioral dermatitis my whole life, with flare ups being a regular thing, but with products like BCalm and zinc shade, I havent had a flare up in over a year."

As for the Repair +, I absolutely loved it. It was exactly what my skin needed. It's super moisturising without feeling heavy or greasy. My skin feels so much softer and I think it looks better as well...I'll be adding it to my skincare routine.

"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 results are absolutely amazing and my skin is actually glowing! I have been using the Rosacea kit for 3 months now and my usually sensitive skin has not reacted adversely to any of the products including the Reverse C Serum. I had a review with my Dermatologist in October, who told me that I have great skin and my rosacea is hardly noticeable."

"I have noticed that my dry itchy, red spot beside my nose has dramatically decreased. I was trying every face moisturiser out there and none worked. I would have to reapply a moisturiser every few hours to keep my skin from being flakey.. ESK is a lifesaver! My skin has never been this smooth and hydrated for a long time. Thank you 😊"

“Well, there is definitely a difference in my skin after using Repair +. The photos are the result of using repair for one week. Before, my skin was redder and more uneven looking. After one week, I believe that my skin has a better and more even tone (despite me suffering from redness) and looks plumper. I was using it once a day in the morning before my Zinc Shade and would be interested to know if you can use it twice a day? I will definitely continue using this product. I currently use ESK regime and love the individual service and prompt reply to questions.”

"I have struggled with rosacea for years and this would have to be the first product that has produced results in such a short period of time. I am over the moon with the change in my complexion in just one month! I love all of the products but especially the calming cleanser – works a treat. The packaging is also a bonus, pump packs with large numbers on them make it so easy and quick for my morning routine. I will continue to use ESK and can’t wait to see the results next month!"

"I've spent a lot of time researching and trying different skin products to improve my rosacea. I found ESK and was keen to try. The cleanser is very light and I really like the b quenched. Each of the products feel nice and absorb easily, rather than sitting on top. My skin feels fresher and I have noticed some changes and am excited to see what happens over the next few weeks."

" I have really sensitive skin, oily in places and dry in others. I also have rosacea and too many wrinkles for my age as I spent many years working outdoors in all weathers without taking care of my skin. I also refuse to use any unethical products, so I guess I'm what you could call a difficult customer! The first time I used no. 2b I said 'wow' . It felt gorgeous going on, it was absorbed perfectly and I didn't see any reaction nor redness. My skin felt so smooth afterwards, and felt great all day. I tried no. 5 that night and it felt right, a little richer and heavier but still absorbed beautifully. And it smells lovely! Over the past month I've used the products daily and my skin looks and feels so much better, softer, more elastic and definitely younger."

"Purchasing this kit has been a literal life changer for me! Before I started using ESK products, my skin was dry, raw, sore, inflamed, I was in tears every week, I couldn't sweat without having skin irritation and I almost quit my job as it requires me to wear a mask. I had been to doctors and specialists, I tried various medications and diet changed to no avail. This was all over a 5year period from when it first appeared to now. Within 2 weeks of using ESK my skin is AMAZING! No soreness, no redness (except for scarring from my teen years) no irritation when sweating and no more tears! I don't need to use any medication or cut foods from my diet. I would recommend to absolutely everybody. To the team at ESK, thank you from the bottom of my soul. You have literally changed my life."

"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"
