How AMPERNA® Supports Your Skin’s Natural Defences

How AMPERNA® Supports Your Skin’s Natural Defences

Posted by Kiri Yanchenko on

At AMPERNA®, we believe that true skincare is about more than just treating symptoms - it is about building skin resilience. That is why every formula in our range is carefully designed to strengthen your skin’s natural defences.

Rather than masking your skin condition, we work with it to function optimally. If you have struggled with breakouts, sensitivity, or flare-ups, you most likely experienced the effects of a weakened skin barrier or an imbalanced microbiome. These two factors are essential to long-term skin health and AMPERNA® is here to help support both.

Your Skin Barrier and Microbiome

Your skin barrier is your body’s first line of defence - a thin but vital layer that locks in hydration and keeps out harmful irritants. Just beneath it lies your skin microbiome: a community of beneficial bacteria that helps maintain balance, prevent inflammation, and protect against breakouts.

When either of these systems is compromised (by harsh products, over-exfoliation, or stress), your skin becomes more prone to:

  • Acne and congestion
  • Rosacea or perioral dermatitis flares
  • Dryness, stinging, or redness
  • Slower healing from breakouts

The AMPERNA® Approach – Strengthen, Calm and Restore

AMPERNA® is built around bioactive ingredients that support your skin’s ecosystem rather than strip it. Think of it like this: AMPERNA® ingredients are training your skin to stay calm. Three of our hero ingredients are especially powerful for building stronger, calmer skin:

Lactococcus Ferment Lysate

This ground-breaking probiotic ingredient helps:

  • Rebalance your skin microbiome, encouraging beneficial bacteria to thrive.
  • Improve skin barrier function by stimulating cell renewal.
  • Calm inflammation, especially in acne-prone and reactive skin types

Unlike live bacteria, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate is a bio fermented extract, meaning it is shelf-stable and safe - but still powerful in promoting skin health and resilience.

Zinc Gluconate

Zinc is a multitasking mineral your skin loves - especially when dealing with breakouts or inflammation. In gluconate form, it is gentle yet effective. Zinc gluconate helps:

  • Regulate sebum production, which is key in acne management.
  • Reduce redness and irritation, calming active flare-ups.
  • Support wound healing, helping post-acne skin recover faster.

Copper Gluconate

Copper is an essential trace element involved in your skin’s repair and regeneration processes. In AMPERNA® products, copper gluconate works to help:

  • Accelerate skin healing, especially after inflammation or damage.
  • Support collagen production, contributing to firmer, healthier-looking skin.
  • Provide antimicrobial benefits to help reduce acne-causing bacteria without disrupting your microbiome.

Together with zinc gluconate, it forms a powerful yet calming combination.

Ingredients Backed by Science to Strengthen Your Skins Natural Defences

When your skin is supported at a cellular level with barrier-friendly, microbiome-loving ingredients, it becomes less reactive, more resilient, and better equipped to handle life’s everyday stressors.

Each AMPERNA® formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and pH balanced making it suitable for even the most sensitive or compromised skin. Whether you are navigating acne, rosacea, or just want to build stronger, calmer skin, our range supports your skin’s natural systems (not suppresses them).

We do not believe in quick fixes or harsh “detoxes.” We believe in rebuilding trust with your skin one calm day at a time.

Because healthy skin is not just about how it looks. It is about how it functions.
