The products are designed to get rid of ""chicken skin"" as it says on the website - it's all meant to smooth your skin and get rid of Keratosis Pilaris, which is little bumps on the skin caused by a build up of dead skin in your hair follicles. Ameliorate is also meant to be good for dry skin, so I had high hopes!
The first of their products I tried was the Skin Smoothing Shower Cream* - I was in the shower, because we had no hot water so I couldn't get a bath, and I was excited to try it. All the products I've used from Ameliorate range have the same smell: like baby powder, only not quite. I like it, though. I found I needed quite a lot of the shower cream to get it to lather, but it was soooo creamy as the name would suggest and didn't irritate my skin (bonus) - and I was clean, so all is good there.
Next up I tried the Skin Smoothing Body Polish* because I always exfoliate before shaving my legs, which was something I'd neglected to do for a solid few weeks. Again it smelt lovely, and didn't irritate my skin, and it did a really good job of exfoliating my skin without being harsh. It has micro-dermabrasion granules which are, as far as I can see, a lot better for the environment than 'micro beads' are! (Although, please tell me if I'm wrong) This was definitely my favourite of all the things I tried from Ameliorate, and I'll be using it 'til the last drop.
Finally, after my shower, I tried the Skin Smoothing Body Lotion* and I did noooottttt like it. It didn't so much irritate my skin; as in, there was no new redness or rash or anything like that but it stung like a lil' bitch. For me, that just isn't worth it - so I think Sam will be using the rest of this one up by herself! Also, as nice as the maybe-it's-talc-maybe-it's-not smell is, it's better when you can wash most of it off…
Have you tried anything from Ameliorate? Let me know!
Wanna see my thoughts on Clarins skincare?
