Skincare
What is ElectroNMF-4+™, and what is its role in skin hydration?
ElectroNMF-4+™ is the signature hydration complex of Esteem Skin Actives, used across the Ionic range. It combines biomimetic Natural Moisturizing Factor components with four electrolytes supplied as PCA salts: Sodium PCA, Potassium PCA, Magnesium PCA, and Zinc PCA.
The complex is designed to support the skin’s moisture balance. Each Ionic formula pairs this foundation with complementary ingredients selected for its specific role in the skincare routine.
What do the “4” and “+” in ElectroNMF-4+™ represent?
The “4” refers to the four electrolyte PCA salts: Sodium PCA, Potassium PCA, Magnesium PCA, and Zinc PCA.
The “+” represents the complementary actives incorporated into each product, allowing the Ionic range to share a hydration-focused foundation while providing distinct cleansing, serum, and moisturizing care.
How do I select the right products for my skin’s needs?
Start with your primary skincare priorities:
- Cleansing and comfort: Ionic Cleansing Gel removes sweat, excess oil, and daily impurities.
- Hydration and moisture-barrier support: Ionic Serum helps replenish moisture and maintain softer, smoother-feeling skin.
- Daily moisturizing care: Ionic Peptide Gel Cream provides moisture alongside peptide-focused care.
- Targeted complexion care: Multi-Peptide Serum combines peptides, niacinamide, and hydrating ingredients to support smoother-looking skin and a more even-looking complexion.
You can build a routine gradually rather than introducing every product at once. Our customer care team can help explain the formulas and their intended uses.
Are Esteem Skin Actives products suitable for sensitive skin?
Suitability depends on the individual formula and your skin’s tolerance. Sensitive skin can respond differently to ingredients, so no product can be guaranteed suitable for everyone.
Review the complete ingredient list before use, particularly if you have known sensitivities. Introduce one new product at a time and follow its label directions. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
If you need clarification about a particular ingredient, contact our customer care team before purchasing.
How do Ionic Serum and Multi-Peptide Serum differ?
Ionic Serum focuses on hydration and moisture-barrier support. Its formula combines ElectroNMF-4+™ with ingredients including ceramides, cholesterol, and niacinamide.
Multi-Peptide Serum provides peptide-focused care alongside hydration, with ingredients selected to support the appearance of skin texture and uneven tone.
Choose according to your main skincare priorities. The serums can also be used together; see Daily routine for the recommended application order.

Where can I find the complete ingredient list for each product?

If you cannot locate the complete list, or would like clarification about a specific ingredient, contact our customer care team at us.support@esteemskinactives.com before purchasing.
Daily routine
What is the recommended order of application?
Start with Ionic Cleansing Gel and rinse thoroughly. Apply your serum, then Ionic Peptide Gel Cream.
If using both serums, apply Ionic Serum first, followed by Multi-Peptide Serum, then the cream. In the morning, finish with sunscreen. Follow the directions on each product’s label.
Can Ionic Serum and Multi-Peptide Serum be used in the same routine?
Yes. They can be used in the same routine: Ionic Serum first, Multi-Peptide Serum next, then Ionic Peptide Gel Cream. Either serum can also be used on its own as your serum step.
You do not need to introduce both at once. Add new products individually and adjust the routine according to your skin’s tolerance.
How should I adapt my skincare routine before and after exercise?
After your workout, use Ionic Cleansing Gel to remove sweat, excess oil, and daily impurities, then follow with your serum and moisturizer.
For outdoor exercise, use sunscreen appropriate for your activity and follow its directions for application and reapplication, including after sweating. Your skincare routine does not replace sun protection.
Do I need to apply sunscreen alongside this routine?
Yes. The cleanser, serums, and gel cream in our US routine do not replace sunscreen. Apply sunscreen as the final step of your morning skincare routine and follow its label directions.
Ionic Shield SPF50+ is not available through our US store and is not included in our US bundles.
What should I expect with consistent use?
There is no single timeframe that applies to everyone. Your experience depends on the product, your skin’s starting condition, and how consistently you use it.
Changes in how hydrated skin feels may differ from changes in its visible appearance. Follow the product directions and assess your own skin over time; individual reviews are not a guarantee of the same result.
