Why We Love This

We already love any product which simplifies a 10-step skincare routine - particularly when the product is this effective. This essence lives up to the hype. It exfoliates without irritation and plumps the skin with intense hydration, and is one of our not-so-well-kept secrets for fading dark spots and acne scars.

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.

About the Brand

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.

How to Use

Pat into cleansed, dry skin with your fingers or use a cotton pad to sweep over the face, neck, and décolleté. Allow the toner to penetrate the skin for a few moments before applying your Augustinus Bader moisturizer.
