Plumper, smoother skin with contours that look lifted.

Your face looks less full than it used to, especially through the cheeks and jawline, and fine lines show more as your skin loses its bounce.

Ampra visibly plumps, smooths and redefines the look of facial contours while it boosts radiance. Its HYAsync technology bonds hyaluronic acid to alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant, so the hyaluronic acid is delivered, protected from breakdown and stays active in the skin longer. Biofermented polyglucuronic acid, tef seed extract and a peptide support firmer, smoother looking skin.

Who It Is For

Anyone noticing softer contours, less fullness or fine lines who wants skin that looks plumper and more lifted.

Not Acne Safe

What You Will See, and When

Radiance and texture improve within two weeks. At twelve weeks in the brand's study, the look of plumpness improved by 32 percent and lift by 23 percent.

How to Use

Use morning and night. After cleansing (and after Plated, if you use it), smooth one or two pumps over your face, ears, neck and chest, keeping it out of your eyes. Let it absorb before your next step. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last.

The Science

Hyaluronic acid holds water in the skin and gives it fullness and bounce. As skin ages, it makes less of its own hyaluronic acid and breaks down more, partly through free radicals and the enzyme hyaluronidase.

HYAsync attaches alpha lipoic acid, an antioxidant, directly to the hyaluronic acid molecule. SkinBetter designed the pairing so the antioxidant shields the hyaluronic acid from breakdown, helping it last and stay active in the skin.

In a twelve week, dermatologist led study of 65 women with visible volume loss, twice daily use improved the look of radiance by 27 percent and texture by 28 percent at two weeks. By twelve weeks, plumpness improved by 32 percent, lift by 23 percent, lower face contours by 22 percent, texture by 40 percent, radiance by 39 percent and fine lines by 20 percent.

Questions

Where does it go in my routine?After cleansing and Plated if you use it, before creams. Let it absorb first. In the morning, sunscreen goes on last.
Can I use it with a retinoid?Yes. At night, apply Ampra first and your retinoid after it.
How often should I use it?Twice a day, morning and night, which is how it was studied.

Why a Routine Made for You Works Better

General advice is written for everyone, so it has to assume nothing about you. It can tell you what is safe. It cannot tell you what will work for your skin.

Skin changes when it is challenged just enough, then given time to recover and adapt. That amount is different for every person, and it moves as your skin gets stronger. Ask too much and your skin spends its energy recovering instead of improving. Ask too little and nothing changes. Finding that point for you, and moving it at the right time, is where results come from.

Where that point sits depends on:

  • Your skin: its history, how it reacts, and what it is doing today
  • Your health: hormones, medications, pregnancy and any condition that changes how skin behaves
  • Your lifestyle: sleep, stress, diet, sun, exercise and climate
  • Your routine: what you use now, and what has and has not worked before
  • Your goals: what you most want to change
  • Your expectations and timeline: how soon you want to see change, and what is realistic for your skin
  • Your consistency: how much time and how many steps you will keep up with, because the best routine is the one you actually do
  • Your treatments: what you have had and what you have planned

A skin therapist weighs all of this, builds a routine you can keep, and adjusts it as your skin responds. That is why we guarantee our products when they are part of a routine designed by one of our skin therapists. If you have been reading general advice, bring your questions. We will help you sort out what applies to you and what does not.
