Augustinus Bader on ‘clean, science-based and sustainable skincare’

Acclaimed stem cell and biomedical scientist Augustinus Bader offers exclusive insight into his latest launches and the future of skincare

As Bader tells us from his HQ in Leipzig, ‘eye cream and serum have consistently been our most customer-requested products, so [they were] natural to develop’. 

The new launches 

‘The Eye Cream is an all-in-one innovation that dramatically diminishes the visible signs of ageing, damage, and stress – for renewal of the delicate eye area. It improves the appearance of under-eye circles, puffiness, dark shadows, fine lines, and wrinkles, while boosting firmness and hydration,’ says Bader.

The Serum, on the other hand, is intended to act like a booster to the other products in the brand’s catalogue, like The Cream and The …….
