Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe Ameliorate Transforming Body Lotion Fragrance Free (500ml) is specially formulated to improve the texture and appearance of dry, bumpy skin. Developed to exfoliate, resurface and condition skin in one step, this lotion features alpha-hydroxy therapy to gently decongest clogged pores and promote a smoother surface. Lactic acid helps to buff away dead skin cells, while glycerine and sodium lactate hydrate and nourish, leaving the skin feeling soft, supple and more refined.
Transforming Body Lotion Fragrance Free is a lightweight lotion from Ameliorate. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 28 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Urea and Water, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Urea, Water and C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Sodium Benzoate, Allantoin Polygalacturonic Acid and Tocopheryl Acetate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, oil control and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
