What is LaH6?

Last Updated: 05/09/2025

You’ve heard us talk about LaH6, seen it win awards, and maybe even considered trying our products. But what exactly makes this complex so transformative for dry skin? 

Our LaH6 Skin Hydration complex might sound like something straight from the science lab, but at AMELIORATE we are not here to overwhelm you with jargon. We are here to restore your skin confidence with formulas designed to target dryness at the source. 

Inside the LaH6 Complex

Breaking Down LaH6

In simple terms, LaH6 stands for: 

  • La:Lactic Acid is our hero ingredient, renowned for its gentle yet transformative properties
  • H:Hydration complex formula designed to lock in lasting moisture
  • 6: Six powerhouse active ingredients that work in harmony:
  1. Ammonium Lactate – a derivative of Lactic Acid, known for skin renewal
  2. Urea – a moisture-binding humectant that softens skin 
  3. Sodium Lactate – helps attract and hold water in the skin 
  4. Serine – a naturally occurring amino acid that conditions and hydrates 
  5. Allantoin – calms, conditions and gently exfoliates rough or flaky skin 
  6. Hydrolysed Milk Protein – boosts hydration by binding moisture at the skin’s surface 
Together, these ingredients form a unique complex that exfoliates, hydrates and smooths, making it a game-changer for dry and dehydrated skin.

How LaH6 Works

AMELIORATE LaH6 was developed by blending:
  • Exfoliating Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) to gently encourage cell turnover
  • Moisture-binding humectants to draw water into the skin
  • Protective emollients to lock in hydration and improve texture
The result is a formula clinically designed to tackle:
  • Dry, dehydrated or dull skin
  • Rough, uneven texture
  • Keratosis Pilaris (bumps on the skin)
  • Itchy or flaky patches
  • Ingrown hairs on the face, body or scalp
