It is easy to enter a chemist, department store or beauty retailer and find an abundance of products with active ingredients to support the skin on your face. Finding something for your body can prove to be more of a challenge, Australian holistic beauty company Amperna seeks to change that.

Vegan-friendly, human tested and packaged in 100 per cent recycled PET bottles, the company is dedicated to environmental and animal-safe practices. Kiri Yanchenko founded the pre & probiotic skincare company after stress and family tragedy led to a downfall in her skin health. Being offered medications and harsh topicals as treatments, she sought to find a more holistic option.

Two of the products created are the body care range – a wash and lotion duo packed with non-living probiotics, ceramides and skin-loving goodies. Both products are fragrance-free, light on the skin and made for those who have skin concerns.

The milky wash contains a mix of natural and medicine-grade ingredients to address issues like eczema, dermatitis, rosacea and acne. It is gentle but powerful, so you don’t need too much of it to leave your skin feeling clean and fresh.

After your shower, the lotion provides a hydrating boost from natural and medical ingredients that will see you through the day. Within a couple of weeks of usage, I noticed the small patches of keratosis pilaris on my arms had started to clear up.

Verdict: I would recommend this product to anyone with similar skin concerns. Always remember to read labels and ingredients and check in with a dermatologist if you have any concerns.
