ESK Evidence Skincare

Trying to make smarter skincare choices, but every scroll gives you a completely different answer?

One person says melasma needs aggressive treatment. Another insists your child needs a 10-step skincare routine. Then there’s red light therapy, promising to transform almost everything.

So, what does the research actually support?

In Dr Ginni’s September Science Wrap-Up, she unpacks:

🔬 What 40 pigmentation experts agree about treating melasma
🧴 What children’s skin actually needs amid the rise of “Sephora kids”
🔴 Whether red light therapy for skin is genuinely helpful or mostly hype

No fearmongering. No viral claims dressed up as facts. Just an Australian doctor’s evidence-based take on the skincare research worth knowing.

Swipe for the highlights, then read the full Science Wrap-Up on the ESK blog.

Which topic do you want Dr Ginni to unpack further: melasma, children’s skincare or red light therapy?

Still chasing smoother, brighter skin but ending up with stinging, peeling or more irritation instead? Your exfoliating acid may be too strong.

So, what are AHAs in skincare? Alpha hydroxy acids, including glycolic and lactic acid, exfoliate dead skin cells from the skin’s surface to help improve the appearance of dullness, uneven texture and congestion.

But stronger doesn’t automatically mean better.

Swipe to learn how AHAs work, what concentration to look for and how to choose the right exfoliating serum for your skin. Save this before adding another acid to your routine. 🔬

We didn’t expect this to happen…

When we created the Golden Duo, we knew exactly what we wanted it to do: offer a targeted, evidence-based approach to pigmentation, uneven skin tone and the visible effects of sun exposure.

But what happened next caught us completely off guard.

The Golden Duo was reviewed and the result left us speechless.

It has officially been named among Tatler’s Best in Class for Mature Skin and Pigmentation.

Pairing Enlighten Gold with Ultimate A Gold, the Golden Duo combines evidence-based ingredients to help improve the appearance of pigmentation and support brighter, more even-looking skin.

A recognition we never expected, but one we’re incredibly proud to receive. 💛

Did we have you worried for a moment? 👀

Skincare kept simple. Because you’ve got enough going on.

Your morning is a rush. By bedtime, you’re ready for bed

not another to-do list.

☀️ Morning: Cleanse, apply your serum, moisturise and finish with SPF.

🌙 Evening: Cleanse off the day, apply your serum, follow with retinal on the nights you use it, then moisturise with ESK’s Enlighten Gold.

A few steps in the morning. A few before bed. A routine that fits into real life.

Save this for your next “what goes on first?” moment.

Can we talk about the skin changes no one mentioned with perimenopause?

You’d heard about the hot flushes. But the breakouts, dryness and suddenly having to rethink your skincare routine? A little heads-up would’ve been nice.

Our newly updated, free Perimenopause Skin eBook helps you make sense of it.

Dr Ginni Mansberg and Dr Anne Thomson explain how hormonal changes can affect your skin, what to look for in your skincare, and when it’s worth speaking to your doctor.

Because figuring out perimenopause is enough work without having to become your own skincare researcher.

Download ESK’s free Perimenopause Skin eBook and take some of the guesswork out of caring for your changing skin.

Happy with your face routine, but feeling let down by your neck?

That crepey texture. The lines that seem more noticeable. The uneven tone extending down to your chest.

If you’re noticing these changes in your 50s, you might be wondering: “Have I left it too late to start caring for my neck?”

Your neck and décolletage deserve consistent care, too. Start with the essentials: gentle cleansing, moisturising and daily sun protection.
