Selma Blair: actress, activist, wellness advocate and, now, innovator in the beauty space.
Introducing: Selma Blair x ESK Ultimate A Gold, a first-of-its-kind night cream designed for sensitive, mature and reactive skin. More than a celebrity endorsement, Blair was hands-on in co-creating this unique formula alongside the renowned Australian evidence-based cosmeceutical skincare brand.
Born from her personal skin health journey — and larger full-body health journey — this product marks the actress’ debut in the skin-care space. And the partnership between Blair and ESK makes perfect sense, one that’s built on a shared commitment to integrity, science and results.
Struggling with autoimmune-related skin sensitivity that most products couldn’t solve, Blair discovered ESK and experienced a dramatic transformation. What began as a personal success story evolved into a partnership with the brand’s founder and physician, Dr. Ginni Mansberg. Together, they co-developed Ultimate A Gold, a next-generation evolution to one of ESK’s hero products, cult-favorite Ultimate A.
Blair was hands-on in every step of the process: product formulation, testing and packaging. While Ultimate A Gold is ESK’s most advanced night cream — designed to reduce visible signs of aging, improve skin texture, fade pigmentation, increase skin hydration and strengthen the skin’s barrier function — it remains gentle, nonetheless.
“As someone with sensitive skin, I wanted to help create something that assists people that may experience the same problems,” Blair exclusively tells The Hollywood Reporter. “Ultimate A Gold feels deeply personal — it’s powerful, and been very effective for me.”
“From the very first conversation with Selma, it was clear this wasn’t going to be a typical celebrity collaboration,” adds Dr. Mansberg. “Together, we created Ultimate A Gold — a night cream that delivers clinical-level results while remaining gentle enough for the most delicate skin. This launch represents everything ESK stands for: evidence, transparency and results without compromise.”
The Selma Blair x ESK Ultimate A Gold is now available for $100 at eskcare.com (or $50 for the travel size). For a more complete evidence-based anti-aging routine, shop Selma Blair’s Gold Kit ($239 $265), a lineup of three core products, including Ultimate A Gold, curated by Blair herself.
