Crafted to diminish the look of deep lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation, this serum offers a lightweight, hydrating texture that feels fresh on the skin.
Free from irritants, allergens, and synthetic fragrances, this serum is hailed as the perfect solution for blemish-prone and ageing skin, promising to combat everything from breakouts to crow’s feet.
This serum blends pure retinol with TFC8’s cell-renewing magic to reveal healthier, revitalised skin. Aiming to minimise the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, it also purifies pores and targets blemishes at the root for clear, smooth, even-toned skin, reports the Mirror.
Augustinus Bader’s retinol serum works by targeting the skin microbiome to inhibit bacteria growth, which causes various skin issues, thus lowering the risk of recurring breakouts and acne. This serum prioritises fading acne scars and hyperpigmentation while sealing in moisture to maintain radiant, hydrated, and supple skin.
It’s not just Molly-Mae who swears by this brand’s game-changing products – a multitude of customers sing its praises.
One 5-star review exclaims: “This product is by far one of the best I have ever used. It feels so light-weight and you don’t even know it is on your skin. It helps with thin lines and signs of aging. It has no scent, so it is perfect if you can’t do smells in your skin care products. The slender bottle makes it easy to take with you when you are away from home and the bottle and packaging all look so high-end.”
The love fest continues with another happy customer: “My skin looked very radiant and felt very plump after using this product. I would use it after my toner. The product didn’t have a scent which I didn’t mind. The packaging is cute. It comes with a holder for it to sit in and also the products are refillable.”
Yet another rave review states: “Received a sample of this serum. And WOW!!! Used this sample nightly to dab on my one mila that was on my cheek. The mila disappeared in 7 days. This is a gentle but so very effective. Love it!!”
A fourth reviewer raves: “The Augustinus Bader retinol serum makes my face skin feel so smooth and clear. I have noticed my wrinkles reduced after using it for 1 week. I love that it comes with a stand to make it look nicer on my counter.”
Another delighted customer gushes: “The Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum is a skincare must-have! It has a luxurious, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling greasy. After consistent use, I noticed significant improvements in skin texture, reduced fine lines, and an overall radiant glow. The packaging is sleek and convenient, and the formula is gentle enough not to cause irritation while still delivering powerful results. It’s a splurge-worthy product that truly lives up to its claims!”
