After an aesthetician recommended the ESK Calming Cleanse ($42), Selma Blair noticed the tightness and burning in her skin begin to abate that very first night.
Since then, she's teamed up with the brand to create Ultimate A Gold. “After using the product, I've started to get compliments now,” she told NewBeauty in 2025. “People who have done my makeup for years will say, ‘Your skin looks better. I can change your foundation color because I'm not color correcting this here, or this grayness there.'
Things are definitely improving. This is the best skin care that I’ve ever used for me,” she told us.
