Augustinus Bader is a relatively new skincare line developed by Dr. Bader. He has spend over 30 YEARS researching the perfect formulation of stem-cell skincare.
Augustinus Bader has won over 50 beauty awards from Vogue, Elle, Glamour and Harper’s Bazaar in a very short timeframe.
Augustinus Bader skincare is pretty new to the retail scene that many people don’t know where to get these award winning skincare products.
Since Augustinus Bader is a luxury skincare line you will be able to shop exclusively at: Sephora, Nordstrom and Holt Renfrew. The only issue is that some retailers carry the full line but potentially not all sizes. It’s important to cross reference all retailers before buying Augustinus Bader.
Why is Augustinus Bader Skincare so Expensive?
Augustinus Bader is expensive because the products are formulated with a patented technology that took Dr. Bader over 30 years to develop. This technology is called: TFC8 and it stands for “Trigger Factor Complex” because it contains over 40 ingredients of amino acids and multi-peptides backed by research that gets results.
The TFC8 complex makes the skin the perfect environment for increased cell turnover which is similar to the reason why you would buy a retinol. TFC8 should work better than a retinol because it is adaptive to your skin’s specific needs and addresses YOUR direct concerns. It is personalized singular formula that works for all skin types.
TFC8 formula combats: fine lines, acne, scarring, wrinkles, redness, cellulite, stretch marks and really any skin imperfection. There are face creams as well as body creams as well.
All creams are vegan and considered clean beauty and clean science.
Lastly, TFC8 nourishes and protects the skin providing lasting effects of this perfect formula.
What is TFC8 and why is it so good?
TFC8 is made up of amino acids, high grade vitamins and synthesized molecules found in the skin. Essentially, the ingredients in the cream mimic healthy and perfect skin. This special formulation has been in the works for over 30 years and has science and clinical research to back up any claims.
If you take a look at the video on the website, you can see skin change over in 27 days which is exactly how long skin cells take to renew. You can see different skin issues such as dullness, acne and fine lines rejuvenated over the 27 days through the videos.

There is a “Find Your Formula” quiz which asks you questions about your skin issues so you can find the right product for your skin type.
I took the Formula Finder quiz and resulted in 5 products that would work well for my normal, acne prone skin while fighting signs of aging. You should answer as truthfully as possible and the formula finder will spit out about 5 products you need to create a full skincare regimen.
The good news is that you can select if you want a thicker product such as “The Rich Cream” or a lightweight product “The Cream”. Every product from Augustinus Bader is infused with the TCF8 formulation so you know you are getting quality despite the price being so high.

Best Selling Augustinus Bader Products
The Cream
The Cream is one of the best selling Augustinus Bader products. In fact, if you are going to try one product from Augustinus Bader, you should try The Cream because it is the most popular product and easy to use.
Of course, The Cream is infused with the science backed: TFC8 and within 27 days you will see amazing results.
The benefits of The Cream is that it reduces fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. It then stimulates collagen production and improves the skin’s natural moisture barrier.
The TFC8 provides the ingredients to have a healthy skin surface turnover.
The Cream is best for combination to oily skin types that are acne prone. The Cream is lighter than The Rich Cream (see below), so if you have acne you will want to use this product.
The Rich Cream
One of the most popular Augustinus Bader products is The Rich Cream. This is the popular cream that of course contains the TCF8 complex. The Rich Cream is considered to an upgrade to “The Cream”. Essentially, it is a hyper hydration product that renews and restores the skin’s natural barrier.
The Rich Cream reduces the look of aging and fades fine lines and wrinkles within the 27 day window.
The Rich Cream also promotes elasticity of the skin by preventing water loss and thus allowing the skin to look more plump and radiant.
If you have dry and/or mature skin you’ll want to use The Rich Cream vs. The Cream because you’ll get more hydration.
The Face Oil
The Face Oil is crucial if you want to get a healthy glow but want to skip the moisturizer. You can use The Face Oil in place of a moisturizer and get a smoother, more even skin tone along with antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental factors such as pollution.
Essentially, The Face Oil acts as a barrier to protect the skin’s microbiome whiles providing moisture into the skin. If you love using face oils then you’ll need to get The Face Oil because it also contains the TCF8 Complex.
What are the Most Expensive Augustinus Bader Products?
Pretty much all of the Augustinus Bader products are expensive. The most expensive product would be the Body Cream at $220 CAD ($165 USD). I’ve personally never seen a body cream that expensive but if you are someone who is concerned by stretch marks and cellulite then you may want to try this.
Overall, the mini sizes of The Rich Cream and The Cream go for $110 CAD which isn’t too expensive when you consider the cost of the Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Cream it pretty much evens out.
What are the Cheapest Augustinus Bader Products?
The Cheapest Augustinus Bader products are The Body Oil and The Lip Balm.
The Lip Balm is still $55 CAD and I honestly think that is way too expensive for a clear lip balm! The reason why it is so expensive is because it also has TFC8 and helps renew cell turnover in the lips. Some lip balms are just waxy and coat the lips rather than treating them. If you have lips that need a lot of nourishment you may want to try this out.
The Body Oil is the cheapest and most efficient Augustinus Bader product at $40 CAD. It improves overall elasticity and keeps skin looking soft and supple.
I hope you enjoyed this overview of where to buy Augustinus Bader Skincare. It truly is one of a kind without any dupes due to the specific TFC8 formula that has made this brand so popular.
Just know that retailers such as: Sephora, Nordstrom and the AugustinusBader.com website all carry different versions of the products. Nordstrom doesn’t carry all of the sizes and that makes the prices seem more than they are. Always check all three retailers: Nordstrom, Sephora and AugustinaBader.com before checking out!
Let me know if this skincare line is something you would purchase or you think it’s really expensive for some good cream!
