Augustinus Bader

Augustinus Bader is named after and founded by Professor Augustinus Bader, a German biomedical scientist and stem cell researcher at the University of Leipzig. Professor Bader spent 30 years researching wound healing and tissue repair, developing a proprietary TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex) technology that creates an environment to support the skin's natural renewal processes. The skincare line launched in 2018 and immediately generated buzz among celebrities and fashion insiders. The brand positions itself at the ultra-luxury tier with its hero product, The Rich Cream, retailing for over $200. With 11 products across 7 categories averaging an impressive 88/100, Augustinus Bader has one of the highest average scores in our database across all brands. The formulations genuinely deliver -- high concentrations of proven actives are combined with the proprietary TFC8 complex in well-made formulations that justify premium pricing more convincingly than many luxury competitors.
