For those who are looking for an effective way to manage hyperpigmentation and age spots, we have found a solution. Enlighten from ESK will lighten and brighten, while smoothing an uneven complexion.
While you can expect to see some improvement in 3 weeks, it is recommended you continue to use the product at home for 3 months for maximum impact.
ESK is an Australian made and owned brand, and the products do what they say they will. ESK stands for Evidence Based Skincare, and they offer a money-back guarantee. Designed to reduce the appearance of ageing and improve the condition of the skin, there is something for everyone in their range.
A selection of our Beauty and Lace members have been testing Enlighten from ESK. We asked one of our reviewers, Melissa, what her experience has been like using this product. She said,
“The first thing I love about ESK is that it is an Australian made product and cruelty-free. ESK is a company that is built on integrity to formulate the best scientifically proven tested products for your skin.
Enlighten is a light, non-greasy moisturiser which absorbs quickly into the skin. Within the first week of use, I noticed an increased glow and reduced appearance of hyperpigmentation. It has a high level of hydration, brightening, and line-fighting benefits. I am looking forward to what my skin will look like with continued use as the turnover thus far to reduce uneven skin tone and diminishing UV spots has been incredible on my ageing skin.
The packing is clear and simple but classy.
ESK products are an investment, but the formulas they use give fabulous results. I highly recommend their products and it will continue to use them as part of my beauty regime.
Thank you Beauty & Lace and ESK for the opportunity to test and review. My skin is greatly appreciative!”

Hi, I’m Anna the Editor of Beauty and Lace. This website was my first baby and since its launch, I’ve gained three kids, a husband, and a puppy! We want to keep this space positive, we are all about sharing the things we love – and avoiding the things we don’t. Happy reading x
Thank you Beauty and Lace and ESK for this trial opportunity. I was very excited to try this product out as I had developed some pigmentation from my recent pregnancy and was keen to try a non-invasive option. Also since giving birth, my skin has been a little dull so I wanted to try something that brightened my complexion.
I haven’t heard of ESK before but after perusing through their website, I was impressed with the range and that they target so many skin concerns with active ingredients.
After using the Enlighten morning and evening for about 2 weeks, I can confidently say that I have noticed an overall brightness in my skin tone and the pigmentation has improved slightly. I’m quite happy with the results I have seen in such a short time that I will continue to use the serum.
My only criticism of the product is the scent. It has a mild chlorine smell which isn’t very pleasant but hasn’t deterred me from using the product, however thought I should mention it as feedback.
Thank you BeautyandLace and ESK Skincare for the opportunity to try ESK Enlighten cream. I was really excited to be trialing this.
I’m in my 50’s and although my skin is pretty good for my age, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone is my main concern. Unfortunately I spent too many hours sun baking during my teenage years and age spots and hyperpigmentation is the result of this.
My first impressions of ESK Enlighten is very positive!
I really liked the sleek smart packaging and the fact that the product is housed in an airless pump bottle. The pump makes it really easy to dispense just the right amount of cream and also prevents air/ oxidation from interfering with the active ingredients. The directions on the bottle state to apply 2-3 pumps after application of serum in the morning, the cream may also be applied in the evening for enhanced results.
I used the Enlighten cream twice a day after using my serum.
I really liked the lightweight texture, the cream was easily absorbed into my skin and it made it so much easier to layer over my existing skin care products.
I love that ESK Enlighten is Australian made so it’s formulated for our harsh climate conditions and it’s also free of fragrance and preservatives.
I wish I had longer time to trial before reviewing but I’m really happy with the results so far. My complexion looks healthy, brighter and more luminous. I think it’s a bit too early to tell if my pigmentation has faded and I wasn’t expecting a dramatic result after just a few weeks of use but I’m happy to keep using to reap the benefits. I’m hoping with prolonged use, I’ll see some lightening of my dark spots and brighter more even toned skin.
Thank you BeautyandLace and ESK for opportunity to try this lovely product.
Thank you for Beauty And Lace and ESK for the chance to try Enlighten.
I have facial pigmentation and wanted to try an easy product to assist.
My first impression was good as the pump was attractive, easy to use and gave a good amount. The cream itself absorbs really well with no scent, and it’s Australian made which is a bonus.
I use the cream day and night, just added to my routine. There are small differences in the short time of using, but they do give me hope.
My complexion is definitely brighter – people have commented, and I feel my pigmentation has lessened slightly.
Thank you Beauty and Lace and ESK for the product to trial.
Such a stylish sleek bottle holds a product that claims to lighten and brighten skin appearance and provide a more even skin tone.
Does it hold up to what it says?
Impressively after a few short weeks I can say I do see a change in my skins pigmentation and redness. My skin texture looks better and brighter and feels smooth.
I use 2 pumps at morning and 3 pumps at night and it soaks well into the skin with no stickiness at all.
I’m hoping that after longer use those fine lines might appear lessened and the darker spots on my face will be harder to see.
I’m really enjoying using this product.
I’ve been using Enlighten for almost 4 weeks now and the results are amazing! Suffering from a mild case of melasma (as well as some recent COVID-related breakouts!), my skin was starting to look a little blotchy. As I find hydroquinone-based formulations way too aggressive for my skin, I was intrigued to learn about Enlighten’s active ingredient, 4-n-Butylresorcinol, as it not only clears melanin deposits in the skin but also prevents new clusters of pigmentation from occurring. Safe for pregnant women and those with sensitive skin, there is really nothing quite like this product on the market. In fact, I think 4-n-Butylresorcinol is exclusive to Evidence Skincare. Following a daily application in the morning (after my vitamin C serum but before SPF), this cream really has made a difference in a matter of weeks. My acne marks have almost gone and my melasma isn’t so pronounced. I will be purchasing a full size of this as soon as my sample runs out. It’s now my new holy grail. 10/10 for me.
