If you know about Ameliorate then you will have probably heard about our hero product Transforming Body Lotion, but have you ever wondered how it works and why we love it so much? Here’s everything you need to know about our bodycare must-have.
What’s in it?
Let's start with the formula – LaH6 quite simply is a clinically proven dual-action formula that transforms skin by exfoliating and hydrating. Every ingredient is at its optimum, which means that they’re working at their best together so your skin gets the best possible results.
La = Lactic Acid
H = Hydration
6 = The ingredients
- Lactic Acid is our hero ingredient, it is an AHA or Alpha Hydroxy Acid. Very simply Lactic Acid will very gently exfoliate and moisturise the top layers of your skin.
- Serine is an Amino Acid (a protein that is naturally found in our skin), that helps to attract and bind water to our skin.
- Hydrolysed Milk Protein is an excellent skin conditioner and works to bind moisture to the skin, very similar to how a hair conditioner works.
- Urea and Sodium Lactate helps to maintain our natural skin hydration levels, they will lock in moisture and can help to impart a feeling of elasticity.
- And last but not least we have Allantoin, which supports the skin in two ways – helping it to feel comforted and protected and encouraging surface cell renewal to improve the appearance of rough and flaky texture.
This formula is what makes Ameliorate so unique. It’s no surprise that Ameliorate literally means ‘to make better’.
Why use it?
Now we know what makes Transforming Body Lotion special, why should you be using it? The simple answer is that all skin types will benefit from using this product. Let's get into the nitty-gritty.

You may have heard it called ‘KP’ or even ‘Chicken Skin’, and this is what inspired the creation of Transforming Body Lotion, as it was originally designed to improve the feel and appearance of Keratosis Pilaris through its clever hydrating and exfoliating formula.

In a nutshell, this skincare hero is a lightweight, fast-absorbing, everyday body lotion that is clinically proven to promote a smoother, hydrated, and brighter-looking complexion.How Should You Use Transforming Body Lotion?
Like most products there is always a way of using them to get the best out of them. Applying Transforming Body Lotion morning and evening every day is a must and don’t be afraid to apply liberally on the areas that might need more help, especially at night.
Using multiple products from the same collection will improve the overall efficacy of each product. After all, a team is better than one.
Try showering or bathing with the Nourishing Body Wash. Just like our lotion, this wash is powered by our LaH6 Skin Hydration Complex that is formulated as a soap-free gentle cleanser, that rids skin of impurities, while helping to retain skin’s natural moisture levels.
And what body care routine would be complete without an exfoliator? Our Smoothing Body Exfoliant is a skin-smoothing savior. It physically and chemically exfoliates rough skin, smooths bumpy skin, and floods skin with moisture to reveal a smooth and soft finish. Giving your body the indulgent treatment it needs, you won't be able to keep your hands off. And if you love self-tanning, then this will be a dream come true, it will not just prep your skin for tanning but will also remove those stubborn leftover tan patches.
As a final step, always remember to protect your delicate skin. As we now know, AHA’s are amazing for dry, irritable, rough, and bumpy skin. However, due to its exfoliating properties, it can make you more sun sensitive and more susceptible to sunburn. This is something we actively talk about at Ameliorate. We are pro being sun safe, so always make sure you’re wearing an SPF 50 and avoid too much UV exposure!
