The Retinol Serum

The stabilized, pure form of Retinol in this serum is not only incredibly efficient, it’s also gentle. If you’re looking for the beloved benefits of Vitamin A without the dreaded skin purging and dry patches, Augustinus Bader’s mindful formula might just be the perfect pick.

What is TFC8®?

Inspired by over three decades of cutting edge research on skin healing and tissue repair by Professor Bader, TFC8® (or Trigger Factor Complex) is a blend of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides naturally found in the body. TFC8® nourishes and protects the skin while supporting its innate potential for renewal. In both clinical trials and consumer studies, the brand's TFC8®-powered products have proven to address specific concerns such as the appearance of fine-lines and wrinkles, redness, hyperpigmentation, cellulite, and stretch marks as well as visibly reducing the damage caused by external stressors. Science that's so effective, it almost works like magic.

Backed by decades of Professor Augustinus Bader’s expertise, his namesake label continues to set a new standard for luxury skin and haircare with cutting-edge research. Following ”the body is its own best therapist” ethos, the range unites targeted solutions with TFC8 technology, a patented formula unique to all Augustinus Bader products.

Clean science and green values are hallmarks of the German brand. Sustainably sourced botanical actives form most of the products’ ingredient lists, which are always cruelty-free and non-irritating. When it comes to the fine finishing touches, Augustinus Bader opts for recycled – and often refillable – packaging, while giving back to Mother Nature with a tree-planting initiative.

After cleansing and prepping your skin, gently massage the desired amount of The Retinol Serum over the face, neck, and décolleté. Smooth along your jawline in upward sweeping motions. Sweep from your nose to your ears and across your forehead and massage over the cheeks to your temples. Apply from the base of the neck to the tip of the chin and take any excess serum and massage over the décolleté.
