"The Ultimate A+ is mind glowingly 20 times more superior than Retinol. Yet it doesn’t make my skin peel at all! It gives me all the benefits of a strong retinol serum without the annoying parts, all I’ve been asking for!"

"Just wanted to share the results of my 16yr old son using ESK. It took a bit longer and some tweaking but we got there and the results are great!!"

"To tell you how HAPPY I am with my ESK results....as mentioned I just needed a little longer than the 3 weeks to clear up a bit more but each day I could see my face getting better & better so I knew it was still doing it's thing! I have found my forever skin care I am so happy I found you guys!
This product is amazing & I am happy to show the world that it works! I know how frustrating & disheartening it is spending so much money on skincare & not getting results. If showing people my results helps anyone who is so down about their skin get such fantastic results while also getting this product the recognition it deserves I am happy to help x"

"I’ve never been so excited to share my results & most importantly my love for ESK Skincare.. I’ve been using their products for about 1 year now and I’ve never been so happy with the state of my skin. After suffering from Acne for 5+ years, I was recommended ESK from a family friend, since then I’ve never looked back.. Within 3 weeks of using the products I noticed a huge difference in the texture & size of my Acne. I love that ESK is evidence based skincare, uses scientifically tested products and really cares about their customers. After spending years and years trying skincare products, I’m so glad I found ESK.. never looking back!"

"Prior to using evidence based skincare, I was suffering from chronic dryness, cystic acne and sun damage. I had tried a number of different routines; both over the counter products and prescribed. Nothing seemed to be hydrating enough! This all changed when I was introduced to ESKcare! Within days I could see a noticeable difference! My skin appeared and felt healthier, fuller and softer! My acne disappeared, my skin was finally hydrated and any irritation or itchiness was eliminated with better sun protection! The best part is that even after my purchase, the ESKcare team followed up with emails (about once per month) containing little tips to maintain healthy skin! I have absolutely loved my products and cannot recommend ESKcare products enough! This is the change everyone needs! x"

"In the before photo, this was the worst acne I had ever had in my life! Due to illness and medications my skin suffered terribly, to the point where I felt I couldn't leave my house. My mum introduced me to ESK and within four weeks it transformed my skin. I will never use any other acne regime again. ESK has been the best decision I have ever made for my skin. I recommend everyone with skin issues to give it a go, you are guaranteed beautiful results! I would also like to say a big thankyou to the staff of ESK. The customer service I have received has been amazing, everyone has been so lovely!"

"I will never use another product. I am so grateful for confidence ESK has given me. I never wear make up anymore. My morning and night face wash routine is quick and easy. My skin feels amazing. The team at ESK have been unbelievably helpful and generous in helping me find the products right for my skin. They took the time to explain my skin type and why I need certain products to nourish it. I recommend ESK to everyone."

"My experience - My skin has always been terribly hard to control acne wise. I have struggled with acne for 15 years and have tried almost every product under the sun (or so it feels). I am used to a lot of cystic acne along the jawline and neck. After using these products, my skin broke out into a lot of tiny bumps and texture. My skin got significantly worse but I was supported all the way by Tess. I am persevering and can happily say the last few days my skin is beginning to clear. I do have significant scarring and a few big bumps but the overall skin health is beginning to improve again. I cannot fault the customer service and support from your team! I am truly hoping this line are the products I have been dreaming of in the long run!"

"I have been using the mens care regime for some 5 weeks now and love the product. I often get comments about how well I look and how well my skin looks. As a 53 year old male I don't expect to look like 30 but I do hope that my skin care keeps me looking as good as I can. I think ESK has delivered on that promise for me. I will be using it for a long time to come."

"My skin has never been super great but it hasn't been super problematic either. It's that traditional combination skin that gets a lot of hormonal breakouts. At 31, I'm a little bit sick of having breakouts AND developing lines as well. I'm all for aging naturally and at the same time, slowing down the process and caring for my skin is important to me. I decided to try ESK because I appreciated the evidence base and the fact that the recommended starter kits didn't have a million different things to do. I work in a rewarding yet demanding job with long days and I need a skin-care routine that is simple and effective. ESK has definitely been that! I've been using it for just over a month now and I have definitely noticed a difference. My skin is a lot more firm and pigmentation has decreased. My usual monthly-hormone breakout was greatly reduced as well. One of the most wonderful aspects of my ESK journey so far has been the customer service. I have NEVER experienced such individualised, supportive customer service and I think that demonstrates how much this company actually wants to help their customers (rather than just getting their money). I highly recommend this brand of skincare and am so glad I found it."

"I’ve been very open about my sudden onset of hormonal acne after going off the pill. I’ve tried multiple products with little results, nothing really worth sticking to. I started to notice one product that was often mentioned by girls with similar issues, Ultimate A+ (retinal and niacinamide based) night cream. So, I jumped on the ESK website and had a look at their acne skincare collection. Since then, I have been religiously using the Hydroxy Cleanser, Smooth Serum, Ultimate A+ and their Hydroxy Overnight mask. The results speak for themselves! By no means has this cured my breakouts but the spots are smaller, less angry and last about half the time! I’m super impressed with this range and given it’s been formulated by doctors, dermatologists and scientists I’m not surprised at the results!"

I've been using Ultimate A+ since November 2020, and I think it is fantastic. It is a little stronger than Ultimate A which I felt I needed after using it for nearly a year. Ultimate A+ was the next step for me. Initially I was a little irritated on my neck as it is very sensitive but over time I used A on my neck and A+ on my face, but finally I can now use A+ all over.
My skin improved within the first 2 weeks. It felt much smoother.
I found a big difference in my skin ,I’m 67 and the dark spots have faded and my skin looks smoother
A cream that is deeply moisturising and has quickly hydrated and reduced dry skin and fine lines.
I love these products, my skin feels so much softer and looks healthier than what it has ever been. The quality of these products are fantastic, they feel light on the face and are non greasy and a little goes a long way. I recommend ESK to everyone I know if they want better looking skin.
