How to Expand Your Skincare Routine Without Leaving Your Skin Barrier Behind?

Von Wesley Taylor Oktober 22, 2026

Use our ‘Ready for More’ Bundles

An effective skincare routine is not about using as many products as possible. It is about understanding what your skin needs, building a consistent foundation and knowing when it may be ready to introduce something new.

That is the approach behind the AMPERNA^® START → BUILD → READY FOR MORE bundle options.

You START with the essentials.
You BUILD a routine that supports hydration, comfort and your skin barrier.
And once your skin feels calm, comfortable and well-supported, you may be READY FOR MORE.

This is where you can begin expanding your routine with more targeted skincare without leaving your barrier-first philosophy behind. We believe targeted skincare and barrier care do not have to be competing ideas.

Our formulas combine carefully selected skincare ingredients with our hero postbiotic, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, which helps support the skin's natural barrier and the appearance of calm, balanced, healthy-looking skin. That means even when you are introducing more targeted ingredients into your routine, you are still giving your skin the everyday support it needs.

If you have been consistently using a simple, supportive AMPERNA^® routine and your skin feels:

Calm and comfortable
Hydrated and replenished
Balanced looking
Well-supported
Ready to introduce another step

…it may be a good time to expand your routine.

But remember, you do not have to introduce everything at once. Especially when introducing exfoliating or more targeted products, gradually adding one product at a time can help you understand how your skin responds.

Meet the Two ‘READY FOR MORE’ Bundle Collections

Both collections build from the same AMPERNA^® foundation:

BALANCE → HYDRATE → TARGET → SUPPORT

Bundle Option 1: CLEAR SKIN PLUS

Targeted care for breakout-prone and sensitive skin, Clear Skin Plus is designed for people who want to introduce a gentle yet effective chemical exfoliant into their routine, while continuing to prioritise hydration and calming skin comfort. The four-step routine combines:

Who is Clear Skin Plus for?

This collection may suit you if:

Your skin is breakout-prone and sensitive
You have established a barrier-first routine and want to introduce more targeted care
You want to incorporate an exfoliating step into your routine
You still want hydration and comfort alongside targeted skincare
You prefer a streamlined routine rather than a shelf full of individual products

How to use Clear Skin Plus:

MORNING

[BALANCE] - Cleanse with the Ultra Gentle Soothing Cleanser.
[RESCUE] - Follow with the Pro+ DS Soothing Serum.
[HYDRATE] - Apply the Lightweight Soothing+ Emulsion.
[HYDRAPROTECT] - Finish with our [HYDRAPROTECT] Pro+ Bio Soothing Day Mineral CC SPF15*

* Not included in the Clear Skin Plus Bundle, but you can add this to your cart here.

EVENING

[BALANCE] - Cleanse with the Ultra Gentle Soothing Cleanser. Double cleanse if required.
[RESCUE] - Follow with the Pro+ DS Soothing Serum.
[EXFOLIATE] - Apply 2-3 pumps of the 10% Pro+ Resurfacing Lotion and leave on overnight.
[HYDRATE] - Finish with the Lightweight Soothing+ Emulsion.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you are new to chemical exfoliation, introduce the 10%+ Resurfacing Lotion gradually, once per week, until your skin builds tolerance. Sandwiching [EXFOLIATE] in between the [RESCUE] serum and [HYDRATE] emulsion offers even more skin barrier support during the gentle exfoliating process. It is recommended to use sun protection every day, but especially the day after using [EXFOLIATE] as your newly resurfaced skin is more susceptible to sun sensitivity.

Bundle Option 2: CLEAR & CALM COLLECTION

A complete five-step routine for those wanting to expand their skincare ritual while keeping barrier care at the centre. Designed to support the appearance of balanced, hydrated and refined-looking skin, while incorporating exfoliation and antioxidant-focused skincare. The Clear & Calm Collection combines these five products:

Who is The Clear & Calm Collection for?

This collection may be right for you if:

Your skin is ready for a complete routine
You want to introduce both exfoliation and antioxidant skincare
You enjoy a more comprehensive skincare ritual
Your skin feels comfortable with your existing routine
You want to support a smoother, brighter and more refined-looking complexion while continuing to prioritise hydration and comfort

How to use the Clear & Calm Collection:

MORNING

[BALANCE] - Cleanse with the Ultra Gentle Soothing Cleanser.
[REPAIR] - Apply the Pro+ Vitamin C Hyaluronic Serum.
[HYDRATE] - Apply the Lightweight Soothing+ Emulsion.

Not included in the Clear Skin Plus Bundle, but you can add this to your cart here.

EVENING

[RESCUE] - Apply the Pro+ DS Soothing Serum.

[HYDRATE] - Finish with the Lightweight Soothing+ Emulsion.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Alternate using [REPAIR] Vitamin C in the morning for the [RESCUE] DS serum if you exfoliated with our 10% Resurfacing Lotion [EXFOLIATE] the night before.

Why Postbiotics Still Matter When You are READY FOR MORE

This is where the AMPERNA^® approach really comes back to the foundation. When you are adding more targeted ingredients to your routine, we do not believe barrier care should become an afterthought.

That is why our hero postbiotic ingredient, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate is woven throughout the AMPERNA^® range. It helps support the skin's natural barrier and the appearance of balanced, calm, healthy-looking skin. It is also designed to work alongside complementary skincare ingredients rather than replace them.

Your Skin Routine Should Work with You!

Skincare is not about constantly adding more. But about finding the right balance between what your skin needs, and what makes you feel confident in your skincare choices.

At AMPERNA^®, our approach starts with the skin barrier. From there, you can build, then you can explore, and then you you can introduce targeted skincare. And when your routine evolves, your barrier-first foundation comes with you.
