Great stuff!

I suffer from PD with intermittent flares when the weather changes and sometimes exfoliating with other products is not possible. This lotion is amazing and has helped keep my skin clear as well as improved texture over the last six months of use!

Beautiful Product!!

This product has been so effective on my face just one week after use. I’ve been using an online dermatology prescription product for the last 6 months and my skin has been incredibly sensitive and acne prone without any improvement. Since switch to this product along side the soothing serum my skin has calmed down (almost straight away!) with no active breakouts. Beautifully gentle and effective products thank you :) you won’t regret buying!

Works wonders with no irritation

Have always struggled to find an exfoliant that doesn’t cause to my skin to flare. This product has been amazing and has never caused in irritation - even with daily use. Helps to reduce redness and keep skin feeling smooth.

I get compliments about my skin often

And it is because I only use Amperna. This product has definitely improved my skin texture & over time in conjunction with the other products I am sure my skin is smoother & less “wrinkled”. This product is a favourite of mine.

Comfortable exfoliator

This exfoliator is so comfortable to use. Whenever I start getting some acne it is almost non-existent the next morning after applying this!

Hard to quantify results, but feels nice

My main compliment of this product is that it's very friendly to my ultra sensitive and reactive skin. As for the anti-ageing benefits - they are very hard to quantify, you need a bit of faith. But I can feel a little tingle when it goes on, so it feels like it's working. My skin has never reacted badly to it and I did get told my skin was glowing within the first week of adding this to my routine! So that's a win.

This lotion is the gentle exfoliator of my dreams. Not only has it assisted with my cystic acne, my fine lines have reduced dramatically. 10/10

Absolutely love this. So gentle on my sensitive skin!

Absolutely love this!

Really gentle and effective. This is probably the only AHA I feel comfortable using. It has never caused me irritation and in the morning I can see a glow already, use it sparingly as it can be drying otherwise, but it hands down beats my previous aha products from other brands

Love this product!!! Worked so well with my sensitive skin. I’ve had so many compliments.

10% Pro+ Resurfacing Lotion

It took me awhile to like the 10% Pro-Resurfacing lotion. I started out applying it after the emulsion and the soothing serum but found no noticeable result. However when I started applying the the 10% Pro-resurfacing lotion before the emulsion, I saw much better results. The texture of my skin is much smoother and the fine lines around my eyes appear to be slightly less noticeable.

An exfoliator that works

This is the first exfoliating product I’ve used where I’ve noticed a considerable difference to my skin after using. Whenever I’ve got a few acne spots coming up I use this in the evening and the next day they are considerably reduced if not gone all together. Will definitely become part of my routine… as have all the other Amperna products as I’ve tried them!

Game Changer

I started using Amperna back in 2020 for perioral dermatitis and have recently come back to this beloved brand. I am deep into perimenopause and my skin has become dry, super fussy and I have hormonal break outs to content with. I tried a number of exfoliants to help combat the acne but they irritated my skin and caused damage to my skin barrier. Repeatedly. I was so frustrated and running out of things to try when I saw an ad for Amperna and the 10% pro surface lotion and I couldn’t log in fast enough. I was a little hesitant to put it on my face but when I pumped it out of the bottle and it was a soft creamy product I felt better. My skin did not itch, tingle, sting or go red. I woke up the next morning with the softest skin I had had in so very long. I use it every 3 days and my acne is much less active and breakouts are down to just a few. I love Amperna, I truely do.

Very gentle

Very gentle and great for daily use, keeps the skin smooth and helps with breakouts.

Great product

I added this to my regime after the flare up of perioral dermatitis settled (used the soothing duo to manage this). This lotion has worked wonders on my adult acne, great to find something that works after years of searching. Been using for several months now and all looking good!

My daughter keeps stealing it from me!

I love all the Amperna products because I used to get perioral dermatitis (I don't anymore now I use Amperna) but I recently gave my bottle of this to my daughter to help her skin during a break out and now I have to buy another bottle because she loves it and said it helped so much with her congested hormonal skin

Gentle Exfoliator

Finally an exfoliator that doesn't feel like sandpaper on your skin! Love how gentle this is.

R
Randi C. (Live Oak, US)
Great stuff

I was pretty nervous to try this because my skin has always been so sensitive and gets dried out so easily. After many years of never having acne in my youth I started getting hormonal breakouts as an adult. Nothing too severe but enough to bother me. This stuff has helped so much when I do get a breakout. It is so gentle and I always have it on hand. I use it several times a week actually to help prevent dry skin.

Kelly M.S. (Johannesburg, ZA)
Amazingly gentle!

I was super nervous to try this product, but having trusted Kiri’s products with my skin previously, I knew I could again. It’s been 10 months almost since I started using the resurfacing lotion and I cannot praise it enough! It is safe for even the most sensitive skin (like mine!).

Christine C. (Sydney, AU)
Gentle but Affective

The first time I used this exfoliant, I woke up and immediately saw a difference in how much smoother and brighter my skin was! It wasn't irritated or red, and I have used this product since. As a person with sensitive and acne prone skin, this has shown to be very gentle and soothing for me :)

T
T.D. (Clyde North, AU)
Love!

Absolutely love this product, such a gentle exfoliation without feeling harsh or drying. My skin always looks smoother the day after using this. It feels great on the skin with no burning sensation like a lot of other exfoliants!

Great for smoothing your skin

I have had great success using this product along with the rest of the range. A little goes along way and you don't have to use alot to get results. I have found it has helped smooth out my skin. I also use it as a spot treatment on breakouts. Back to buy my second bottle.

Kiri's Story

Before creating AMPERNA®, I lived with reactive skin. It was frustrating and often isolating, as I struggled to find products that didn’t make things worse.

That experience inspired me to develop a range that is gentle, simple, and supportive for skin, so others searching for calmer, more comfortable routines would have options they could turn to.

AMPERNA® is the result of that journey. Every product is guided by the same philosophy: kind formulations, inspired by real skin stories.
