Perioral Dermatitis (PD)
Are you currently experiencing PD? It can be incredibly hard to live with and is often difficult to have recognised by health professionals.
To make it worse, applying the wrong creams or suggested products can really exacerbate the symptoms. So, it's important to ensure you're using the right skin care for perioral dermatitis.
We know that it can be difficult to manage skin concerns like this, so we developed the AMPERNA® range, for people like you.
All of AMPERNA®’s products have been tested on real people with real skin concerns, including perioral dermatitis.
Products for Perioral Dermatitis Prone Skin
WHICH AMPERNA® PRODUCTS CAN BE USED BY PEOPLE WITH PERIORAL DERMATITIS?
Our products were formulated because AMPERNA® founder Kiri struggled with perioral dermatitis herself, and each product has been tested on people with this condition. So, you can shop our entire range with the comfort of knowing that all of our products are suitable for perioral dermatitis-prone skin.
Kiri learnt about skin care for perioral dermatitis while she suffered from it for over six months, she then started formulating with a chemist and used AMPERNA® products to help her skin.
"I’m pretty sure my perioral dermatitis was triggered by an unrelated skin irritation. I was given a topical steroid and within a short period the whole bottom of my face was covered in it. Because I had no idea what to do and what it was, it got worse and worse.
When I have a flare up I feel anxious and depressed. I don’t want to go outside and face everyone with such a horrible condition near my mouth because I feel like everyone is watching my mouth."
Kiri, AMPERNA® founder.
Perioral Dermatitis Reviews
Kristin, Lynchburg
"I have suffered from perioral dermatitis for 6+ months. At first I didn’t know what I had and just started treating it like dry skin which then led me to treating it as acne. Long story short, I had tried everything and then finally went to the derm. Nothing they prescribed helped either.
I eventually learned of AMPERNA® and ordered the DS soothing serum first and within 2 days, I saw major improvement of the “flaking/dry” skin as well as the redness that accompanied the PD had greatly diminished!! I then ordered the hydrate moisturizer and between the two- I’ve been perioral dermatitis free for close to 4 weeks now! No redness, flakes or bumps!! Thank you so much Kiri- I’m forever grateful and will be a customer for life!"
Katherine Newton, Sydney
"Having struggled with very severe perioral dermatitis all around my mouth and eyes for several months, and trying many different remedies, I came across a blog post by Kiri about perioral dermatitis, and found AMPERNA®. I was so grateful and impressed by Kiri’s detailed and thorough response when I contacted AMPERNA® asking what would be best. She gave me so many tips.
I started using the [HYDRATE] moisturiser and the [REPAIR] serum - instant relief from the burning and uncomfortable sensation of facial dermatitis. Within about 6 weeks it was completely gone.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Kiri and AMPERNA® for creating such beautiful products that help people with sensitive skin like me! I’ll never change products now. Thank you also for such amazing customer service. You respond to emails so quickly and give such thorough advice, and my products arrived so quickly, I received the shipping notice 10 mins after ordering! Overall so impressive. Thank you!"

Our deeply restorative AMPERNA® Probiotic+ DS Soothing Serum helps calm redness while also soothing and cooling irritated skin.

The Probiotic+ DS Soothing Serum contains a unique probiotic complex that helps promote the appearance of fresh skin.
If you have problem skin, it is very important to be gentle with it and ensure you use a gentle moisturiser for your perioral dermatitis. Kiri uses all AMPERNA® products, and recommends our award-winning Lightweight Soothing+ Emulsion to help nourish the skin and protect it from free radical damage. This lightweight cationic moisturiser contains a probiotic, ceramides, hyaluronic acid and emollients to help nourish the skin and protect it from free radical damage.
AMPERNA® Pro+ Vitamin C Hyaluronic Serum is a deeply hydrating formula that helps to soothe the skin as well as target dullness, uneven skin tone, wrinkles and fine lines. It also contains AMPERNA®’s unique probiotic complex that delivers good bacteria to your skin gently and effectively.
Hyaluronic acid can assist with Perioral Dermatitis as it helps to replenish the moisture that is crucial to younger-looking, supple skin. It is a humectant; it draws moisture into the skin and keeps it there. Hyaluronic acid energises the skin, so that it feels softer, looks smoother and is luminously hydrated. The AMPERNA® range has been formulated to include hyaluronic acid and powerful antioxidants to help hydrate your perioral dermatitis prone skin. The range also has other effective yet gentle ingredients like liquorice root extract, copper & zinc.
When you no longer have visible open wounds from your Perioral Dermatitis, it is important to gently exfoliate as a preventative measure. Our AMPERNA® 10% Pro+ Resurfacing Lotion has been formulated with 10% glycolic acid to slough off dead skin and liquorice root extract to help calm while exfoliating. When using glycolic acid and other AHAs, you should always wear sunscreen and appropriate sun protection. Chemical exfoliants can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
