Augustinus Bader
The Retinol Serum
A powerful treatment that pairs pure retinol with Bader’s proprietary TFC8 for smoother, firmer, brighter, more even skin without redness or irritation.
5.9 oz / 174.5 ml
This lightweight and hydrating retinol serum gently resurfaces, smooths fine lines and wrinkles, reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and acne scars, and diminishes breakouts, all without the side effects caused by some other retinol products. By combining the pure ingredient—the most potent and most easily absorbed— with Bader’s healing, rejuvenating TFC8, the skin maintains optimal function and balance, so no redness or sensitivity occurs. This formula allows you to achieve remarkable results, but is gentle enough to use nightly.
