The cult German skincare brand with its ubiquitous copper and cobalt bottles, graces the shelves of some of the most famous faces in the world including Charlize Theron, Diane Kruger and Michelle Yeoh.

Their newest formulation, The Light Cream, is the lightest of their four moisturisers and although equally as hydrating, it’s created with a matte finish for shine-free skin.

By getting to the root problem of balancing oil production, it’s also the perfect solution for complexions with an overactive sebum, or for those in hot, humid locales and congested urban environments.

Like all of Augustinus Bader’s skincare formulas, The Light Cream contains the patented TFC8 complex, a combination of amino acids, vitamins and naturally occurring molecules, handcrafted by Dr Augustinus Bader in his own laboratory.

Professor Bader is a globally recognised biomedical scientist and physician who for over 30 years has worked in the field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine. His specialised TFC8 complex, therefore encourages the skin to hydrate, protect and renew itself at a cellular level, fulfilling the label’s adage of “Where Science Meets Skincare” and leaving skin plump and visibly supple.

Before any of Professor Bader’s skincare products are released into the market, they undergo rigorous clinical trials, and the response highlights their efficacy — 100 per cent of users agreed that their skin felt hydrated and nourished, that skin redness appeared calmed and reduced and that their dryness was soothed.

The innovative brand also offers an auto-replenishment scheme, where any product in select sizes, including their best-sellers —The Rich Cream, The Cream, The Serum, The Face Oil and The Eye Cream — is 20 per cent off at checkout, and the subscription can be customised at any time.

These are just a few of the reasons why Augustinus Bader has garnered 90 industry awards in just four short years.
