Looking online, I have found there is very little information/reviews on the skincare products from Endota Spa. Considering the price of their products rival some of the most well-known and high-end skincare brands I have been curious to see if the products are worth it.
What I like about the Endota Spa skincare product range is that all the products are Australian-made, minimal/pleasant fragrance, great packaging and the formulas are developed with certified organic ingredients.
I decided to purchase the following products from Endota Spa:
- Rapid Enzyme Peel
- Potent Brightening Serum
- Super C Firming Serum
- Cellular Repair Face Cream
- Deep Hydration Mask
- Intense Moisture Mask
I have fair, dry skin and as I am in my late 20โs have started integrating anti-ageing products into my routine. The main concerns I have with my skin is it becoming dull and lacklustre (generally, in Winter), retaining hydration and fighting off fine lines and dark circles around my eyes.
While I already have an established skincare routine, I am always looking to test and try new products. Which is why I was excited to try the Endota Spa skincare range.
Check out my thoughts below.

Endota Spa Skincare Products Review
Rapid Enzyme Peel
What is it?
โRapid Enzyme Peel is a fast-acting fruit peel, mask and gommage.โ
What does it do?
โIt has a powerful, multi-functional peptide and fruit enzyme complex, including mango and pomegranate to lift tired skin cells and protect against the major signs of ageing. The potent resurfacing action rapidly improves skin tone. Skin is left transformed in minimal time, becoming healthy, radiant, hydrated, refined and luminous.โ
My Review
I have to say I really like this mask. It works well to revive my dull, dry skin (thank you, Winter!). All you have to do is leave the mask on for 5 minutes and then rub it off in circular motions. It leaves your skin feeling incredibly soft and fresh. Considering I have been using a lot of harsher ingredients in my other skincare products, it was refreshing to put something on packed full of nutrients.
This mask isnโt going to transform your skin but definitely adds a nice glow and pick-me-up for drab skin.
Would I purchase this again? Yes.
Potent Brightening Serum
What is it?
โPotent Brightening Serum is a serum that will improve skin clarity, refine texture and increase hydration.โ
What does it do?
โThe formula contains the active Brightenylโข which is four times more potent than vitamin C to help correct hyperpigmentation and brighten the complexion. It replenishes skin that has been dulled by age and damaged by acne or sun exposure. It also contains Actizymeโข to enhance skin cell renewal; 3-0-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid which brightens the skin; and nicotinamide to expertly moisturise the skin.โ
My Review
My skin is the definition of type โnormalโ โ not oily and not dry. In addition, it has a pretty high tolerance to harsher skincare products, so when I found a product in the Endota range that was named โpotentโ, I was really excited to try it.
After a few applications, I could tell that the brightening formula was working. My skin was noticeably more radiant and looked refreshed. Another positive is that I didnโt break out โ something that is always a concern when adding new skincare into the mix.
Would I purchase this again? Yes, I could see a noticeable difference from using this product.
Super C Firming Serum
What is it?
โThis is a vitamin C serum that targets signs of ageing, and various skin concerns. Containing an encapsulated form of vitamin C, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium PCA, Ferulic Acidand and Allantoin.โ
What does it do?
โIt works to reduce the appearance of age spots, correct hyperpigmentation, and enhance skin firmness and brightness.โ
The brand claims it can reduce the latter skin concerns by 35%.
My Review
The consistency of the product is very thick, tacky and almost grainy. However, I have found this to be the same with other Vitamin C products. It has been hard to assess the effectiveness of this product as I have been using it in conjunction with my normal skincare routine.
One thing for sure is that after applying, my skin feels incredibly tight. I definitely wouldnโt say it made my skin feel dewy. I would say, however, that my complexion is brighter and more radiant. It would be hard for me to back their claims on skin elasticity but I can certainly see skin colouration improvement from this product.
My concern would be effectiveness vs price. There many well-known skincare brands that offer really effective competing vitamin c products. It would be hard to convince them to pay for a product that is almost double the price.
Would I purchase this again? Maybe not. With this product, I couldnโt see an as noticeable improvement as I did with the Potent Brightening Serum. If I were going to fork out that much for a Vitamin C serum, I would probably opt for SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic.
Cellular Repair Face Cream
What is it?
โThis is an intensely hydrating, peptide-rich moisturiser.โ
What does it do?
โSkin-firming hexapeptides and octapeptides combine with hydrating niacinamide and antioxidant vitamin E to renew the vitality of your skin.โ
My Review
I purchased this product, as it is winter here and I wanted something that would lock moisture into my skin while fighting early signs of ageing.
On application, this feels hydrating, yet tightening on my skin and absorbs into the skin really quickly.
I have yet to notice any significant difference when it comes to fine lines or other signs of aging โ but also realise things donโt happen overnight! Itโs a really nice moisturiser that has been a skin-saver throughout the colder months.
Would I purchase this again? Maybe not. While I do think this is a nice moisturiser, and would probably be well-suited to those with sensitive skin, I would likely not purchase this again. Why? You could definitely find a nourishing, antioxidant-rich moisturiser like this at a drugstore for a fraction of the price.
Deep Hydration Mask
*This product looks to be discontinued*
What is it?
โThis is a deeply hydrating facial treatment mask for normal to dry and dehydrated skin.โ
What does it do?
โIt works to intensely hydrate the skin and help replenish the complexion.โ
My Review
The consistency of the mask is quite thick โ almost like sunscreen; however, if you have dry skin like mine you will notice it absorbs nicely into the skin. It leaves a shiny coating over the skin which is why itโs ideal to use overnight.
The only downside would be that due to how thick it is, itโs harder to spread across your face. You may end up going through the product quite quickly.
Would I purchase this again? Absolutely. Itโs an affordable and effective hydrating mask that leaves your skin looking plump and radiant.
Intense Moisture Mask
What is it?
โThis is a deeply hydrating facial treatment mask for normal to dry and dehydrated skin.โ
What does it do?
โIt works to intensely hydrate the skin and help replenish the complexion.โ
My Review
I believe Endota has discontinued the Deep Hydration Mask, possibly replacing it with the Intense Moisture Mask. There are a few similarities between the products. The main differentiator is the thickness. The Intense Moisture Masks are lighter and more easily spread.
As with most Endota products itโs packed with rich ingredients to nourish your skin. Like the Deep Hydration Mask, it contains replenishing omegas 3 and 6, and vitamins C and E.
It comes with a handy applicator brush.
Would I purchase this again? Absolutely. Itโs an affordable and effective hydrating mask that leaves your skin looking plump and radiant.
