The Retinol Serum

WHY YOU NEED IT

A retinol serum formulated to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, blemishes and pigmentation while protecting against premature aging and future breakouts. Powered by TFC8®.

WHY I LOVE IT

Retinol is an unrivaled ingredient when it comes to more youthful, radiant looking skin. (I'll argue that SPF is a close second, but SPF is playing the long game. Retinol has much faster and more noticeable results). For many, retinol is a holy grail "fountain of youth" ingredient, and for others it can cause irritation, turning some away from this incredibly effective ingredient. But by combining the most potent and most easily absorbed pure retinol with TFC8, this formula gives you incredible results, while being gentle enough to use nightly, without redness or irritation. Lightweight and hydrating, it gently resurfaces, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and acne scars and diminishes breakouts - leaving skin brighter, firmer and smoother. Remarkable.

The ingredient that makes the products from Augustinus Bader so effective is TFC8®, or Trigger Factor Complex TFCTM, a patented blend of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and synthesized molecules that transforms their products into adaptive skincare capable of actually addressing individualized concerns. Not all skincare can say that. And the brand has the clinicals to prove it. 

Formulated for all skin types
