B Calm
B Calm Acne Cream is specially formulated to treat acne-prone skin while supporting a healthy skin barrier. Acne-prone skin often has a compromised barrier, leading to dryness beneath an oily surface. B Calm combines barrier-strengthening ceramides, which not only improve skin resilience but also help reduce breakouts. With salicylic acid to exfoliate, fight bacteria, and calm inflammation, B Calm targets pimples directly. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) adds additional anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits while reducing excess oil production. This lightweight cream is gentle enough for daily use, making it an ideal solution for clearer, balanced, and healthier-looking skin.

Description
A light moisturising cream, for skin that is sensitive, oily or acne prone.
Vitamin B3 (5%) is an effective multi-purpose ingredient, having evidence for managing the skin’s natural oil production and improving acne and rosacea-symptoms. It also has evidence for improving the skin’s barrier function, reducing hyperpigmentation and acting as an anti-inflammatory agent. In addition, it has evidence for reducing the risk of skin cancer. Salicylic acid gently exfoliates the skin and has evidence for helping manage acne and reduces sun damage and some of the signs of premature aging.
Full Size - 50ml (lasts 3 - 4 months)
Travel Size - 15ml (lasts 3 - 4 weeks)
How do ceramides help acne-prone skin?
Acne often goes hand in hand with skin barrier dysfunction and reduced ceramide levels. Incorporating ceramides into B Calm helps to:
- Reduce dryness, inflammation and pimple count.
- Support a healthy skin barrier.
- Help keep your skin smooth and supple!
At Evidence Skincare (ESK), we’re passionate about staying at the cutting edge of scientific research. Recent studies have highlighted the incredible benefits of ceramides in treating acne. These essential fat molecules in the skin’s outer layer play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy skin barrier and reducing inflammation.
Evidence
Niacinamide
Manages Acne, Rosacea and eczema, reduces pigmentation and improves skin barrier function. An Anti-Oxidant, assists in repair of cell DNA, improves skin barrier function and manages the skin’s natural oil production increases skin elasticity and reduces pigmentation.
Salicylic Acid
Being related to Aspirin, Salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties and is generally well-tolerated. It exfoliates the skin and has been shown to be effective in reducing acne, managing some of the signs of premature (sun-induced) skin aging (especially hyperpigmentation) and psoriasis.
Emerging evidence
Ceramides
The emerging evidence suggests that smaller ceramides can improve the skin barrier function which helps with skin hydration and decreasing skin inflammation.
Usage
Apply 1 – 2 pumps to fingertips and apply to face before sunscreen in the morning. Also for use on décolletage, back of hands and forearms.

Does Retinol Help with Acne?
Vitamin A (retinoids) are among the best topicals for treating acne. Retinoids work by helping to increase skin cell turnover, reducing the risk of dead skin cells blocking pores which is the first step in a process which ends in breakouts. Retinoids are also comedolytic (pimple busting) and anti-inflammatory. Of the over the counter retinoids, retinal (AKA retinaldehyde) is the most effective and the least irritating form of Vitamin A. In order for Retinoids to work they need to convert into Retinoic Acid. Retinal requires a one step conversion to become Retinoic Acid. And while it is as effective as Retinoic Acid, it is very well tolerated. Retinol, requires a two step conversion. The first step, a conversion into Retinal, is very inefficient, requiring an estimated 10 units of Retinol to convert into 1 unit of Retinal. That inefficiency requires a higher, often irritating concentration, of Retinol and a less effective outcome. Retinoids are available in various concentrations over the counter and by prescription, but stronger retinoids increase the chances of dryness, irritation and peeling.
Do Moisturisers Help with Acne?
Evidence suggests that maintaining a healthy skin barrier and avoiding trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), where moisture evaporates too quickly from the surface of the skin, is an important factor in keeping acne at bay. In fact, while acne is usually associated with oily skin, people with acne usually have dry skin (ie. it is lacking in water). If acne prone skin sees excess oil production dry up too quickly, the dryness of the underlying skin can become a problem, increasing irritation and inflammation. Using a gentle cleanser followed by a non occlusive moisturiser can reduce the risk of dryness and irritation. Which is why most experts recommend non comedogenic (non pore clogging) moisturisers as part of your anti-acne regime.
Can Drinking Water Cure Acne?
Staying hydrated is great for overall health and wellbeing, including for your skin. However, there isn’t anyevidence to suggest that drinking more water than needed will lead to dramatic improvements in your skin.
Does Niacinamide Help Acne?
Niacinamide (AKA Vitamin B3) has a large body of evidence backing its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, as well as its potential to reduce sebum or oil production. It can also improve important skin barrier function by preventing water loss through the epidermis (the outer skin layer). With all of those abilities, Niacinamide has been tested successfully in the management of acne. It is usually used in combination with more effective acne treating ingredients like retinoids.
What Is the Best Sunscreen for Acne?
Using sunscreen every day is important for anyone with acne (and anyone in general), as sunburn and sun damage can increase skin inflammation, exacerbating acne. e. For people with acne, using a sunscreen that is non-comedogenic (non pore clogging) is highly recommended, it can just be difficult to find one that suits you. Most dermatologists recommend using an inorganic Zinc based sunscreen.

Rosacea Skincare Kit - Anti Redness
"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"

"Hi, my name is Kelly and I have suffered with problematic skin for most of my life. I had terrible acne and chicken pocks as a child that resulted in scarring. Then along came the fine lines and wrinkles. In just under two weeks, I have seen a massive change! The regime is incredibly easy to follow, you don’t need much of it and it is an Australian product! I am finally proud of my skin and cannot wait to see what my face looks like in a month! I am so grateful! Thank you Esk!"

“I had the worst breakout at 40 and needed to change the products I had been using. I came across ESK and after doing some research felt this would be the best treatment for me to try. After 5 days of using the acne package my skin had changed for the better. A month along and my skin has improved so much. Hardly any breakouts and my skin is glowing with pigmentation lightening. Cannot recommend ESK enough”

"I've been using the pigmentation products for a month now, I'm very happy with the results, my brown spots have certainly faded, my overall skin is looking much better, and I'm looking forward to even greater results as I continue on using this fabulous skin care regime. I love the way my skin feels after each use and my makeup glides on to give a nice dewy effect which I haven't been able to achieve for some time. I'm feeling more confident in being able to reduce my makeup usage overall."

ESK eye patch trial. Super easy to use. Once applied the patch blends in well against the skin. I applied the patch at night after my normal evening skincare routine (using ESK 4 & 5+) and left it until morning. As a 60 year old with sun damaged skin, I found this product to be brilliant with noticeable results to skin tone and pigmentation after the 12 day trial.

Please find attached my before and after pics for the patch review. Left eye before, right eye after 12 days of every second day applying a patch to my under eye.
I found the patches easy to use and I think they added more moisture to the fine skin under my eye.
They made the under eye more plump and my dark circle didn’t seem so dark.
Thanks for the opportunity to try these, I love trying your new creations. 😊

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.

ESK has been the one and only thing that has helped my skin - and quickly! I have suffered from hormonal acne for years, it was red, and sore, and I would barely leave the house without make up on, I was so embarrassed. Within a few weeks, all of the redness was gone, half of my acne settled down and it has just kept on getting better and better. Not only did these products get my acne under control, but the texture of my skin became smooth, my pores shrunk in size and the fine lines I had started to get around my eyes have even smoothed out! What! Even my scars are disappearing, and I have been previously told the only way I would be able to get rid of them would be laser procedures...I tell everyone I can about ESK, as it's been some of the best products I have used in my life!

"I would just like to say how impressed I am with ESK skin care.
I turn the big 60 this year and have be looking for a skin care for mature skin. I was watching Sunrise and Ginni came on talking about ESK. So I thought I would give it ago and I loved the fact that it was made in Australia. I love the way the cleanser made my skin feel so clean and light and the way the products sunk straight into my skin. Which I have been looking for forever. Most products just sit on top of my skin which is frustrating and can be very expensive.
My skin looks smoother and plumper. Finally something that works 😊 Thanks ESK"
