Introducing ES DermaMD

We are delighted to announce the addition of ES Derma MD to our carefully curated skincare selection — a brand that exemplifies our ongoing commitment to delivering dermatologist-trusted, clinically backed and truly transformative products. At Skintique, we don't just follow trends; we focus on science, results and real skin health. ES Derma MD shares that same philosophy, standing at the intersection of innovation and integrity.

Developed in collaboration with leading dermatologists and skincare experts, this advanced range is designed to target a wide spectrum of skin concerns — from dullness and dehydration to blemishes and premature ageing — using evidence-based formulas that are as effective as they are elegant. You will see the brand written as both ES Derma MD and Esderma MD — they are the same range.

What Makes ES Derma MD Different

ES Derma MD stands apart from conventional skincare through its delivery technology. The brand specialises in liposomal and encapsulated formulations — microscopic carriers that hold an active ingredient inside a protective shell until the product is applied and the shell breaks down.

Key brand strengths

Dermatologist collaboration – developed with leading skin specialists and aesthetic practitioners
Encapsulated delivery – protects actives from air, light and heat, with gradual rather than instant release
High-tolerance formulas – designed to suit sensitive and reactive skin types
Targeted solutions – specific formulations for the look of pigmentation, ageing and congestion
Clean formulations – free from unnecessary irritants and fillers

How Encapsulation Technology Works

Encapsulation does four useful things at once:

Protects the active – shields it from air, light and heat so it stays potent in the bottle
Controls the release – delivers the ingredient gradually over hours rather than all at once
Improves the texture on skin – the active is dispersed rather than sitting neat on the surface
Reduces the irritation risk – gradual release is far gentler than a single concentrated burst

Think of it as putting an active ingredient in a protective capsule that only opens once it is on the skin.

The main types of encapsulation

Liposomal encapsulation – lipid-based carriers built from materials similar to those found in skin's own lipid structure. Particularly well suited to hydrating ingredients.
Microsphere technology – tiny spheres that hold the active and release it over time, extending how long the formula stays active on the skin.
Nanoscale delivery – very small particles that disperse the active more evenly across the skin's surface for a smoother, more consistent finish.

Why it matters in practice

The vitamin C problem. Traditional vitamin C serums turn brown and lose their punch long before the bottle is empty. Encapsulated vitamin C stays stable and potent until you apply it — which is why the format matters as much as the percentage on the box. Our guide to what a vitamin C serum is actually doing covers this in more detail.

The retinol problem. Undiluted retinol on the surface is the usual cause of the redness and peeling that puts people off it entirely. Encapsulation slows the release right down, which is why so many people who failed with retinol first time round get on far better with a time-release format. If you are new to it, start with our guide to retinol and its gentler cousins. Esderma MD's own The Retinol Serum uses exactly this approach, pairing encapsulated retinol with hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.

The peptide problem. Peptides are fragile and degrade quickly. Encapsulation protects the peptide chain so that what is listed on the ingredients deck is still intact when you use it.

Must-Try Picks from the ES Derma MD Range

Each product in the Esderma MD collection targets a specific concern using well-established skincare actives. Here is what to expect from the range available at Skintique.

Esderma MD The Perfect C Serum

This advanced vitamin C serum pairs encapsulated vitamin C with Hygroplex™ HHG for hydration, so the active stays stable in the bottle. Unlike conventional vitamin C products that oxidise quickly, the encapsulation protects the active until the moment it goes on the skin. It delivers antioxidant protection and a visible brightening effect, hydrates well, and helps reduce the look of blemishes and uneven tone.

Antioxidant protection against everyday environmental exposure
Visible brightening of dull, uneven-looking skin tone
Helps soften the appearance of dark spots and patchiness
Hydrating alongside the active
Gradual release makes it a realistic option for sensitive skin

Best for: anyone after brightening and antioxidant protection without the sting some vitamin C serums cause.

Esderma MD Anti-Blemish Mask

Formulated with salicylic acid and natural leaf extracts, this mask helps purify pores and refine the look of congestion without stripping the skin. A sensible option for blemish-prone and congested skin.

Purifies and helps refine the appearance of enlarged pores
Helps keep congestion in check
Targets the look of redness and irritation
Helps balance excess surface oil
Comfortable enough for reactive, breakout-prone skin

Best for: oily, combination or blemish-prone skin that needs a deep clean without the tightness.

Esderma MD Collagen Filler Revival Mask

A peptide-rich intensive mask that visibly firms and plumps, with intense hydration for a fresher-looking glow. One for anyone focused on the visible signs of ageing.

Helps skin look firmer and more supported
Softens the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Improves the look of elasticity and bounce
Intense, lasting hydration
Leaves a smooth, radiant finish

Best for: mature skin, anyone noticing a loss of firmness, or anyone wanting to keep firmness looking its best for longer.

Esderma MD Hydra Light Moisturiser

Ideal for normal to oily skin, this lightweight moisturiser offers proper hydration without any heaviness — the answer for anyone who struggles to find something that hydrates without causing congestion.

Helps balance excess surface oil
Provides antioxidant defence
Absorbs quickly with no greasy residue
Helps support the look and feel of a comfortable moisture barrier
Sits well under makeup and SPF

Best for: oily, combination or normal skin that needs hydration without added shine.

Esderma MD Filler Gel Elixir

A lightweight yet intensive treatment designed to visibly plump and smooth the skin using a concentrated blend of peptides and hyaluronic acid. It delivers an instant firming effect while supporting a more lifted, hydrated and youthful-looking complexion over time.

Immediate firming and plumping effect
Deeply hydrating thanks to the hyaluronic acid content
Helps skin look lifted and more toned
Lightweight texture that layers easily

Best for: anyone wanting visible lift and firmness, particularly around the jawline and cheeks.

Esderma MD Ultra Sun Protect 50+

Comprehensive sun protection offering SPF50+ UVB, PA+++ UVA and blue light protection. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, it hydrates while it protects, without the heavy, greasy feel of traditional sunscreens.

SPF 50+ UVB protection, helping prevent UV damage and dark spots
PA+++ rating for UVA defence
Blue light protection from screens and devices
Hydrating hyaluronic acid complex
Non-greasy, comfortable finish

Best for: daily use across all skin types, especially anyone who wants broad protection in a texture they will actually reapply.

Pro tip: layer The Perfect C Serum under the Ultra Sun Protect in the morning. Antioxidants and SPF are a classic pairing and one of the most reliable habits in any routine.

Who Should Consider ES Derma MD

The range is particularly well suited to:

Sensitive skin types – gradual, encapsulated release keeps irritation to a minimum
Anyone dealing with pigmentation and uneven tone – targeted brightening without harsh acids
Reactive, redness-prone skin – high-tolerance formulas that stay comfortable
Combination skin – lightweight textures that balance without over-drying
Anyone frustrated by product irritation – if conventional actives have never worked for you, the format is the variable worth changing
Anyone who has plateaued – people who have not seen much from off-the-shelf formulas often do better with professional-grade delivery

ES Derma MD also produces professional-only formulations used within clinic protocols, along with post-procedure products designed to comfort and protect the skin after in-clinic treatments.

How ES Derma MD Fits Your Routine

ES Derma MD sits comfortably alongside other professional ranges. The formulations work well with brands such as AlumierMD and SkinCeuticals, so you can mix and match according to what your skin actually needs rather than committing to a single brand wholesale.

A straightforward starting routine:

Cleanser (from your preferred brand)
Esderma MD The Perfect C Serum, morning
Esderma MD Hydra Light Moisturiser
Esderma MD Ultra Sun Protect 50+

If your focus is the visible signs of ageing, build the evening around peptides and a retinol step, then follow with the Collagen Filler Revival Mask once or twice a week. If your focus is hydration, lead with hyaluronic acid morning and night and keep textures light. Our ingredient layering guide covers the order in more detail.

Getting the best from the range

Layer correctly – thinnest to thickest texture, always
Be patient – gradual release means gradual, sustained results, not overnight drama
Stay consistent – daily use beats occasional intensive use every time
Combine thoughtfully – the products are designed to work together
Store properly – a cool, dark place helps preserve potency

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ES Derma MD suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes — it is one of the range's real strengths. Because the encapsulated delivery releases active ingredients gradually rather than all at once, the range is formulated with tolerance in mind and is designed to suit sensitive and reactive skin. As with any new product, patch test first and introduce it gradually.

What does liposomal delivery actually mean?

Liposomes are tiny spherical carriers that hold an active ingredient inside a lipid shell. That shell protects the ingredient from air, light and heat while it sits in the bottle, and it breaks down gradually once applied — so you get sustained release rather than one concentrated burst. It is a stability and comfort advantage, not a marketing flourish.

Can I use ES Derma MD with my current skincare?

In most cases, yes. ES Derma MD integrates well with other professional ranges. If you are introducing new products, add them one at a time so you can tell what is working and what is not. Our team can advise on the best combinations for your routine.

How is encapsulated skincare different from a standard formula?

Standard formulas expose the active to air and light from the moment the bottle is opened, and put it straight onto the skin surface at full strength. Encapsulated formulas keep the active protected until application, then release it slowly.
