Augustinus Bader The Light Cream

Tremenda marca! Hermoso todo lo de esta marca.

The Light Cream feels quite nice going on, really smooth. It goes on nice and lightweight, sinks in fast, and leaves a soft satin finish that plays well under sunscreen and makeup with no pilling. Hydration is more “keeps me comfortable” than “plush and dewy,” so I’d call it semi hydrating. The packaging and overall experience are very luxe and make the routine feel elevated.Here’s my hangup: The things doing the heavy lifting here are the usual core hydrators like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and squalane. I can find those in plenty of solid formulas under 30 bucks. This one feels great, but the results aren’t wildly different from more affordable options that use the same backbone.Bottom line: beautiful texture and presentation, and I enjoyed using it. I’m docking a star because the price to performance isn’t there for me. If you love the ritual and the packaging, you’ll be happy. If you’re chasing value, there are better priced creams that get you to the same place.

I've been using this cream for about three weeks now and unfortunately; I don't see a difference in my skin compared to my previous budget routine. I had high hopes given the premium price tag on this product. The product comes in a tall pump container that contains 1 ounce.The cream applies evenly and absorbs nicely into my skin. As I said, I don't feel or see any difference to my skin. I have a few light wrinkles around my lip and eye area, no change there. My pores are just as visible as when I started. I don't have any dark spots so I can't speak to that.For the price point, I would expect something to be very effective. As with all skincare, it certainly isn't one size fits all so maybe this would work for a different skin type, but it is not for me.

so it is very expensive but it actually works. it smooths out wrinkles without excessive tightening. long term results too. splurge and try it. i am glad i did

Late 40’s man here with often oily skin. Female friend suggested this Bader stuff. I’m on month 5 using it and it feels good. Needs just one pump for me for the whole face, I do have a beard tho. Even when I wash my face with soap, it doesn’t feel like it’s drying out. Also not using any other products but this. Seems like a great all in one solution and I don’t like spending more time in the bathroom than needed. Dislike the design of the product but the F does my fave care. ;)

I really do like everything about this moisturizer, except the price! Maybe I'm just salty because I won't be able to easily afford another bottle when I run out. The cream is very lightweight, almost a cross between a serum and cream. Thankfully a little goes a long way, and it absorbs nicely into my skin. It makes my skin feel so soft, no tacky residue whatsoever. It also doesn't leave me feeling greasy at all, in fact I'd almost say it has a slight mattifying effect if anything. I'm not sure it's rid me of any wrinkles yet, but definitely keeps my fine lines at bay due to the hydration. Overall I really really like this stuff, just wish it was not so expensive!

Short and sweet: This works for me, and I promised myself I would never get duped by another expensive cream again. It is lightweight, absorbs immediately and hydrates. My skin feels better and it LOOKS better. I believe in Augustinus Bader products and I have been around the block!Not short and sweet: At the risk of repeating myself, I suppose everyone knows by now that Augustinus Bader uses their own proprietary blend - TFC8® which includes "40 natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and synthesized molecules". I have now used three different Augustinus Bader products for over a month. I am very happy with the results. My skin is softer, has a different texture and more importantly to me it appears FIRMER.I did my best to research every ingredient I could find (because I'm weird like that) and wanted science-backed ingredients that would give me the satisfaction of saying "my skin looks better".This product includes ogliopeptide-177 (my personal favorite) - a signaling peptide. It is a "tissue protective" and "the main part of the patented Trigger Factor Complex (TFC)". Oglioepeptide-177 is a modified sequence of erythropoietin (EPO) that comes from a part of the EPO molecule. An erythropoietin functions like a hormone, or a growth factor (example: EGF). It helps with the structural integrity of our skin tissue - the scaffold that holds it together. We lose that structural integrity as we age and this is a FIRMING peptide. That's why it is my favorite! I am more concerned about sagging and the lack of elasticity in my skin than I am wrinkles.Palmytol tripeptide-8 is another ingredient found in all Augustinus Bader products which contains amino acids; arginine, histidine, and phenylalanine, combined with palmitic acid (a fatty acid), but as I've mentioned before about THE RETINOL SERUM, TFC8® also includes oleic acid and linoleic acid (additional fatty acids), lysine and glycine (additional amino acids) all found in our skin naturally. It's compatible with our skin which means it can penetrate our skin. This combination of ingredients may provide benefits such as promoting collagen production and improving elasticity (and this is what I'm looking for)! I have also said, I would rather buy one product that does everything then 500 others that end up unused in my makeup drawer.

I ordered this and for a few days I had a very hard time getting the product out using the dispenser. After further investigation I realized that bottle was shipped to me pretty much completely empty.
