Lovely packaging, great product.

At first glance, the packaging caught my eye. Super sleek and beautiful. The serum itself get absorbed in your skin rather quickly and leaves it feeling soft without being sticky. The scent is alright, smells like 1990’s Lancome cream - almost medicine like. The scent doesn’t bother me but I can see why other people don’t like it. I will say it does dry out your skin so stay clear of putting near your eyes.

It’s a big shame. I bought this during the sale event. Today I have decided to try this “high rated” retinol serum.🤨You can’t even imagine what kind of a rotten smell it had. Horrible.

Luxury skincare that delivers

I had the opportunity to try the Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum thanks to Influenster, and I’m impressed with its performance. This serum combines the brand’s signature TFC8® technology with retinol, promising to deliver anti-aging, skin-smoothing, and brightening benefits. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, making it easy to layer under my moisturizer without any pilling. After using it for a month, I noticed a visible improvement in my skin’s texture and tone. Fine lines appear softer, and my complexion has a healthy glow. Unlike some retinol products, this serum didn’t irritate my sensitive skin—likely due to its nourishing formulation with soothing ingredients like squalane and antioxidants. One highlight is the elegant, refillable packaging, which aligns with the brand’s commitment to sustainability. While it’s on the pricier side, the quality of the product and the noticeable results make it a worthwhile investment for those serious about skincare. Overall, the Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum lives up to its reputation. I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for an effective, luxurious retinol product.

Works very very well and leaves no trace. SORCERY!

This stuff is fast acting and lasting. I am thoroughly impressed and just as impressed by the fact that it goes on super light and leaves no messy residue behind for me to feel gross about. I love this stuff way more than I expected to. My wife has stolen it so I bought another one already!!

Works well and fast and leaves no trace. Top of cl

Okay, so I thought this stuff would be basic and just help a little. Wow. I was mistaken. The retinol shines through with each application and you can easily see a difference after just one or two days. Impressed is an understatement. This stuff goes on light and leaves no trace. I love it.

Reduces the wrinkle appearance

The Augustinus Bader retinol serum makes my face skin feel so smooth and clear . I have noticed my wrinkles reduced after using it after 1 week. I love that it comes with a stand to make it look nicer on my counter .

A gentle yet effective retinol serum that transfor

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!
