Formerly known as Skin Smoothing Body Polish, Smoothing Body Exfoliant is a high-performance treatment for dry, rough and bumpy skin. Read more about why Shabir recommends it for the treatment of Keratosis Pilaris (KP or ‘chicken skin’) in this article.
AMELIORATE Smoothing Body Exfoliant exfoliates, softens skin and smooths KP bumps while moisturising for up to 8 hours.
Biodegradable Bamboo Granules and Alpha Hydroxy Therapy physically and chemically exfoliate above and below the skin’s surface while our unique LaH6 Skin Hydration Complex, combine with Shea and Cocoa Butters and Coconut Oil, to moisturise for up to 8 hours.
Clinically proven and dermatologist tested, AMELIORATE makes Keratosis Pilaris look and feel better, deeply hydrates very dry skin and leaves normal skin amazingly soft and smooth.
Together with our unique LaH6 Skin Hydrating Complex, this highly effective formulation instantly sloughs away dead skin cells, hydrates and encourages new healthy cells to the surface.
Skin is left feeling softer, smoother and healthier-looking.

Can children use Ameliorate?
All Ameliorate Skincare products have undergone full, independent safety assessments and are considered safe to use on children 3 years and above.
I am lactose intolerant, can I use Ameliorate?
People who are lactose intolerant will not have any ill effects from using Ameliorate products. Lactose is a large sugar molecule that normally breaks down during digestion to smaller, digestible sugars, Glucose and Galactone. Although chemically related, Lactic Acid and Lactates used in Ameliorate are not sugars and do not perform similar functions in the body so topical application will definitely be no problem for lactose intolerant individuals.
I have a nut allergy, can I use Ameliorate products?
Some of the Ameliorate products contain Sweet Almond Oil. Almond Oil does not contain the proteins that cause concern for allergy sufferers. However, if you have a severe nut allergy we advise you take medical advice before using any product that contains a nut-derived ingredient.
What is the shelf life of Ameliorate products?
By law, cosmetic products must be fit for a minimum of three years from manufacture unless otherwise stated. Ameliorate products have been fully tested to comply with this regulation. We have suggested the product be used within 12 months of opening and this is indicated in the 'open jar' symbol.
Do Ameliorate use parabens?
No. Ameliorate products are not preserved with parabens. Despite some negative press about paraben based preservatives no studies have yet been performed that show parabens to be unsafe. In fact parabens are increasingly being recognised by experts as the safest and most effective cosmetic preservatives available but we do understand that some people still have concerns so we have used alternative preservatives.
I have psoriasis, can I use Ameliorate products?
Psoriasis is a medical condition and should be treated as advised by your medical professional. We would advise seeking medical advice before using Ameliorate products.
What is LaH6?
LaH6 Skin Hydration Complex is a 2-in-1 ground-breaking formula that includes 6 active ingredients to gently exfoliate and deeply hydrate the skin, while always respecting and repairing the skin barrier. While many of us think that exfoliation and hydration are two different activities or require two different products, we’ve combined this into one, to keep your skincare routine simple and effective.
