Courtesy of ESKSelma Blair knows your sensitive skin struggles—and she’s been there too. After discovering relief through premium Australian skincare brand ESK, the actress decided to collaborate with them on a hero product you’ll want on your shelf ASAP.
The result? Selma Blair x ESK Ultimate A Gold, a powerhouse formula that’s highly effective yet gentle enough even for the most reactive skin types.
“God, I think anyone who’s gone through a traumatic moment or crisis with their skin knows how tricky it can be to get rid of,” Selma told E!.
She recalled a turning point: “Finally, a well-meaning esthetician said, ‘Oh, we don’t have anything here that’s right for you—your skin needs a break, just stop.’ And then she handed me, out of her own bag, an ESK cleanser. I used it, and my skin felt a little less tight, a little less burning. I cut everything else out and slowly started adding things back. To think that the cycle could actually be corrected—that was something I hadn’t even heard of before. It gave me so much hope.”
Selma, who manages rosacea and cystic acne, says ESK products—including her new collab—help her feel “confident” she can keep repairing her skin barrier.
“My skin is in a much more healthy place,” she explained. “I fell in love with [ESK co-founder] Dr. Ginni Mansberg a year ago—not wedding bells—but I fell in love with her brain, with the products. So together, we collaborated. We took things I was already using and put them into one product.”
Ultimate A Gold is designed to tackle visible signs of aging like fine lines, loss of elasticity, barrier damage, dullness, dehydration, and pigmentation—all while remaining well tolerated by even the most sensitive skin.
“I knew I wanted cell renewal, and something that would also hydrate and do things I didn’t think it could do. Adding it in with the niacinamides and the 9-Butylresorcinol—it taught me so much about what I can actually tolerate,” Selma shared. “This gives the same benefit, if not better, and really keeps my sensitivity safe.”

“I’ve been using [Ultimate A Gold] since we made it, and I’ve had zero sensitivity and only good things happening,” Selma shared.
“If Selma can use it with her super sensitive autoimmune skin, anyone can use it,” Dr. Mansberg explained. “I think both Selma and I felt really passionate about this being an accessible product that’s not going to be just for people in Hollywood, that this is the sort of thing that everyone can use.”
