The best all-in-1 I have used in a long time

I have used the deluxe size from the last Goody Bag, and this product is AMAZING. I normally use Omoravizca, so I was a very critical customer at first, but after using it for a week I've been converted. It's totally worth the hype. This is the best all-in-1 product I have used in a long time. It doesn't have a scent, and the texture is between light cream and gel. It is super gentle on sensitive skin. My skin looked plumped and clearer. I would strongly recommend this product to tired-busy-mamas who want a fast/effective product. Go-on treat yourselves!

Expensive but amazing

I never write reviews but my skin loves this magical witchcraft in a magnetic Yves Klein blue bottle. I follow the instructions and put it on after toning my face (Pixi Glow at night or the Vitamin C toner in the morning). I use this and eye cream. My skin really loves it, it feels so supple and soft, and my pores are minimised, as if I have been photoshopped. I found out about this from watching a Vogue Youtube video of Alexa Chung's makeup routine (whilst procrastinating work), I'm 32 and I don't think I look old but I can look hella tired and sad sometimes but this cream really makes me feel and look like I've slept for 9 hours and like I live on kale and vitamins. All this is good. Anyway. It's a great cream. The end

A very middling cream...

5 stars for packaging. But a very middle of the road 3 for the cream and performance. It’s says to use on its own, well that didn’t work, skin was super dry. So had to add back my serums. Then the worst, it breaks up and no amount of shaking can get it together. I won’t be purchasing again.

Irene

Truly rich, as its name suggests

I love the velvety, luscious texture and its very subtle, almost not existing smell. I'm only using it for a few days, but the surface of my face is already gleamier, brighter. I'm not giving it 5 stars because on my skin the uptake is a bit slow, in fact, the epidermis feels a bit oily even after 3 hours I applied. You need to massage it absolutely thoroughly to let it absorb quickly.

Sandman

It moisturises... kind of.

I can’t help but feel that this is the Creme de la Mer for this generation. It’s got a secret ingredient that is supposed to magically transform the skin. It doesn’t. It’s a nice moisturiser... although the first thing in years to cause spots... but it does leave the skin feeling moist. However, after using one bottle, I saw no improvement in any of the areas I wanted. Had much better results using cheaper products such as Drunk Elephant, Peach and Lily and NIOD.

AK

Addicted

I have really dry and sensitive skin and I have tried several high-end products that are designed to fight these problems - nothing comes close to this. I use the rich cream every night, and in the morning my face is soft and dewy. Pure magic in a bottle!

Spot Alert

I almost never have breakouts but this cream really didn’t work for my skin. I persisted for a month in the hope it would pass as I did see some other benefits to my skin but the spots continued, really disappointed ☹️

Sublime

This is the second time I’m buying the cream. First, I went for the lighter version as it was summer, but opted out for the rich cream as it’s winter time soon! I’m 34 years old and I often get complimented on my complexion. Gorgeous cream, very comforting when on! I haven’t seen that much wrinkle reduction but, then again, I don’t have that many wrinkles yet.

Love The Cream not The Rich Cream

It's very weird...I feel like The Cream has moisturised my skin better than The Rich Cream. My skin is dry + hypersensitive skin. The Cream gives me so much glow finishing and easy to apply on my face and neck while The Rich Cream is a bit harder to spread on my skin. Also, The Rich Cream caused entire of my face has a red rash and sore on my cheeks after I just used only 4 days.. :( P.s - I wish the brand will concern more in their packaging which I think the big box is so much waste.

Sofia

Such a disappointment

Hi, just wanted to share that this product was a huge disappointment. My skin NEVER breaks out. I used the cream and a couple of days after my skin started having huge lumps...I gave it a try for a couple of weeks because I didnt want to believe that such a expensive product would have this reaction on my skin but the problem was definitely this product. After I stopped using it pimples were gone. I wish I didnt splurge on this product ...so sad this happened...

Georgia

Amazing quality moisturiser, not sure whether the results reflect what the science says it does.

Has changed and strengthened skin and moisture restoration. But still unsure if it's worth the price tag. I tried it alone for a week, without other products besides a cleanser like the directions say and felt as though the cream was too thick and wouldn't go far on the skin. So then used it with hydrating serum and it went further and sat nice on my skin. Will try the light cream next time. Not mind blowing as of yet.

Misa

the rich cream

Hello, first of all I have to give 5 stars to Cult Beauty team customer service they have helped me so so much that I just cant say enough how I appreciate their help Second 5 stars to Augustinus Bader the rich cream. For me its the only cream my super sensitive skin can tolerate I have tried many brands from La mer to Sisley and other "eco beauty" but this cream its work its work work!!!

Moorea

Holy holy grail

Oh god I wish I didn't love this as much as I do, but it's just as good as everyone says. After years of searching for the perfect moisturizer, it feels cruel but inevitable to have it be the most expensive one I've ever tried. But you get what you paid for! It's almost magical how this works, and it has replaced every single step of my nighttime routine. I used to have a 5-8 step cocktail of essences and serums and oils and moisturizers and now I just double cleanse and use this. So in that sense I'd say worth every penny.

Alex

Simply the best

Seriously game changing. Go for the rich cream at night and the cream at day. You don’t need to buy eye cream and 10 other products to get great skin. Just invest is this.

Aussie Skin Junkie

Absolutely AMAZING!

I have never been able to find the perfect skincare. I struggle with fine pores that clog easily and when they clog, they clog! I also have dehydrated sensitive skin so finding the perfect skincare to combat all of these issues has been very difficult. I have been using The Cream for 2.5 weeks and it is absolutely amazing to combat all my issues discussed above. It has retinol in it which made my cheeks red (as I am super sensitive) however I still really loved the results so far - no clogging, glowy and smooth skin. I switched to The Rich Cream instead and it is perfect! Don't let the name turn you off, it's actually not rich and sinks into your skin very quickly.

Can’t live without

This product is worthy of the price tag! Trust me it has improved both the look and feel of my skin beyond expectations. At 38 my skin is in need of more TLC so I’ve just started to invest in my skincare routine and have tried many different creams and oils but have to say there is no going back after trying this. I’m just about to run out of my first so I’ve just ordered two more!! Try it... you won’t regret it.

Rita

Rich cream not so rich

I have dry skin and I don’t find the rich cream that rich. I still have to put some oil on top to wake up to dewy skin. Regardless of that my face looks better!

Jess

Lovely but perhaps not worth the price

This cream is lovely–absolutely lovely. I ordered the regular version, not the rich, and it hydrates my skin to perfection. It is comfortable on the skin and makeup sits nicely on top of it. My skin is very happy with this but I am just not sure it is worth the price. I am a skincare junkie so the idea of eliminating all other serums, lotions, and potions from my routine is problematic for me. I could do away with all the other steps except an eye cream–my undereyes are just too dehydrated. I like this cream and if it were under £100, I would gladly repurchase. But at just over 200, I will have to think long and hard.

Nevena

The cream

The cream is good, I just expect something magical for this price range.

Tatiana

Very good solid moisturizer but not a holy grail

Overall, I like the results on my 40+ Combination slightly sensitive skin, and I like the fact that it can be used either day or night. The packaging, consistency, absorption are all as expected from a brand of luxury tier and for the price, however, I am not certain I found enough “anchor” points to re-purchase or make it my “ can’t live without” product.

Janelle

Regretfully love this cream

Intrigued by this cream and the brands philosophy to simplify routine by only using this cream, I took the plunge and purchased it. Hate to say it but I love it. I have The Cream and have since repurchased it. Nothing makes my skin as hydrated, glowy and juicy. I do get piling when I use this product with other skincare that has silicone so am careful with what I use it with. Incredibly impressed by this product and meets expectations!

Isa Belle

acts like nothing else

The fact that I have bought my second tube says a lot about how much I love this. And I've tried so many skincare products as a skincare junkie I am. I have mature oily skin, large pores, wrinkles, you name it... This is the perfect moisturizer under the SPF and under the foundation. Works like no other!! I know it's difficult to believe it from this simple review. My English is poor...and because of that I rarely write reviews. But this expensive lotion deserves it so here I am. I still use my serums under it and I find that no matter how sticky a serum is this lotion will take away the stickiness creating the perfect base for SPF and foundation.

Em

Lovely consistency, ok results

I bought the original version and whilst I'm not disappointed, I didn't find this to be far superior to other premium (but less expensive) skincare. It has a lovely consistency, absorbs well and is enjoyable to use with good packaging, but the results didn't blow me away. I have combination skin and might have preferred the rich cream instead - if you have any dryness at all I would go for the rich cream as I wouldn't say the original formula is particularly hydrating. Overall I will continue to use this but I'll probably try something new when I next decide to splurge on skincare!

Rae38

Love!

Well I have to say I was so curious to try this purported miracle cream and I'm happy I finally caved. I bought the rich version and it's perfect for my normal skin this time of year..from the first use my skin was so calm and soft and has been very balanced and hydrated since I've used it (twice a day). I'm scrutinising my skin for results and although it's not a miracle worker (I don't look 10 years younger!) I do feel very happy with the way it is making my skin feel and look. I'll be very tempted to repurchase despite the hefty price tag!

Helena

Pricey, but wait...

So I finally caved, and bought the rich version of this cream as soon as it launched on Cult Beauty. The packaging is gorgeous, and certainly part of why the price is what it is. As for my skin? I've cut out all other moisturisers in my routine and only use this, to see what kind of results I get on my dry, blemish-prone skin. After two months of daily use, my skin is smoother, always feels moisturised, and I've barely had any new blemishes. My skin was already pretty good, but now it feels like it's been taken to the next level. The texture of my skin has improved in ways I didn't think were possible. The results are definitely addictive, and I will be very tempted to repurchase this when the time comes. Considering it seems to last you quite some time, I'd say the price can be justified.

ParisLisa

Magical Cream

So I did buy This cream (The cream) after seeing so many great comments about it. And yes after the first night I loved it, The cream texture is very light, perfect for a day cream so I decided to buy The rich cream too and This one is magic!!!! Sooooo nice and creamy, maybe not for oily skin but is you have a normal to dry skin This one is heaven! So I’m using the cream during the days and the rich cream at night and My skin is glowing and Beautiful! The products Are very pricey and it’s not like an oil Where it Will lasts you forever.

Robyn

Fantastic product

I absolutely think this cream is worth the price. My one issue is I hate the full size packaging, I find it unnecessarily bulky and I prefer the travel size packaging but that’s personal preference. The cream is excellent at hydration and I haven’t used it long enough for know all of the benefits but as a cream I think it looks great under makeup, works well with my other products, doesn’t ball up and all around I am very happy with the product.

Not worth the price

I have dry, acne prone skin, but looking at the ingredients list, I went for the original “The Cream”, as it contained retinol, and the rich cream didn’t. Retinol is the only thing that keeps my acne under control. The cream is nice, used twice a day I did see improvement in skin texture and appearance, but a full sized bottle lasted me 6-8 weeks, and that is nowhere near long enough for me to spend that kind of money on another bottle. There are far less expensive creams I have tried that had similar effects. I wouldn’t buy it again.

Anemarie

impressive

Well, I just start to use The Rich Cream a few days ago and I can see results, my pores are tightened which is a miracle cause I have dry skin and when I use to use different rich creams they clogged my pores but this one not, it works really good. My skin feels plump, hydrated, brightening. I am really impressed. And what is important to know, AB creams can not use with different products. So just clean your face and put the cream. This is the point so not to mix with other products maybe that's why someone has a breakout and don't have results.

Sarah

Unsure

I bit the bullet and bought this with really high expectations due to the price tag, but I was disappointed as I didn't feel it though it made a huge difference and I get better results with less expensive moisturises. It is quite greasy/rich so I tend to use it at night time but I fear for my pores. Will not be repurchasing.

Lalage

The Rich Cream

This lasted exactly 6 weeks, 2 pumps morning and evening. My skin felt very firm and healthy but I would advise persevering over a few months for long term improvement. I use it now as a night cream. I'm not convinced it is worth such a high price.

Nicola

Augustinus Bader - The Cream

I love this cream. It soaks into the skin and leaves a dewy finish.

FQ

Incredible

This is amazing. I’ve used both The Cream and The Rich Cream, and both are revolutionary. If you don’t like multi-step routines, invest in this. It evened out my skin tone and gave me this wonderful plump, bouncy skin. No more annoying “one-off” pimples that used to show up randomly, no more dull-looking skin. I’ve been using this for about 18 months and plan to keep repurchasing.

Helena

Genuinely brilliant

It's pricey BUT it is genuinely brilliant. I have never felt compelled enough by a product to leave a review but this cream is fantastic. I have tried a lot of products in the past and totally buy into product hype but this is the only product where I have actually made a repeat purchase (currently on 3rd tube of the rich cream). It's hard to describe the effects but my skin feels stronger in a way, less red, the bumps on my chin have gone and it genuinely looks the best it ever has. Expensive but I have made savings on buying no other skincare 'steps' except cleanser (Kate Somerville Daily Foaming Cleanser for full disclosure).

Lau

Perfect

This cream is the best one I’ve ever used and I’m 68... I have always taken care of my skin with serum and cream. I’ve never gone to bed with make up. But now I use The Cream for the day time and my age spot seems to decrease. Of course I use an SPF 50 CC cream. But really I have found an improvement since I started this.

v

nice, but not convinced

After reading all the great reviews, I decided to take the plunge and splurge a bit on this moisturiser. I should start by saying that, while I'm over 40, I have really good skin that rarely breaks out. This cream is fine, and my skin is happy, but I'm finding the texture a bit sticky (I have the rich version), and I'm not seeing a real difference on the lines on my face. I'll use up the tube, but don't think I'll repurchase, as the price is quite high.

Ljiljana

The best cream ever!

I was using plenty of high priced creams but this one is a game changer. My skin looks healthy, redness has gone, I have a healthy shine. I am loving it!

Londongirl1508

Speechless

I heard all the rave reviews for quite some time but didn’t buy into it... thought it was just slick PR hype but I was wrong! This is the be all and end all to beautiful luminous skin. I mean if we are going to start using the phrase the holy grail of skincare then please let’s only use it for The Cream. It truly is revolutionary! My skin loves it and I’m so glad I gave it a try and I know I've found the one!

Jones

Best Moisturiser

This is my 4th bottle and my skin has never looked or felt better.

Canadian Winter

Very, very good

I definitely see the difference after my third bottle of The Cream. Particularly fine lines - my forehead is noticeably smoother which I can only attribute to consistent usage of this cream. That being said, The Cream is definitely not all that hydrating if you have dry skin. I will continue to use as the results are very good, but I do need to supplement with deep hydrating masks a couple of times per week.

JSM

Lovely

Truly a lovely product. Perfect base for tinted sunscreen

Erica

Super kwaliteit

For me it is a "can't live without product"! My skin never looked so good before! Just perfect, less imperfactions and smooth after a few weeks using.

Elouise

Changed my skin!

I have been using this product for some time and I can honestly say it has saved my skin. The fine lines on my forehead are pretty much non-existent and the texture has become so smooth and plump. I also suffered from eczema around my nose that I tried everything to cure - after using the product for a week it had completely disappeared! For me, this product is worth every penny.

Kwang...

Great Stuff...

Good tuxture. Quickly absorbed. I can notice the better way it give my skin in just 1-3 days of use. I can feel it refiner, softer, plumper and hydrated but not oily!

Renee

Give it a chance

Research behind it is sound. Have used it for around 8 months, amazing results,I am almost 60 but I often get mistaken for woman of 10 years younger.

Anna C

Nice, but not sure it's worth it

This is a nice cream... which, at this price point, is a bit underwhelming. I went for the rich version as it's winter, and have found the consistency a tad sticky during application. To be fair, the product does feel nice on the skin once applied and hasn't caused any obvious problems. But on the other hand, I've had a couple of breakouts since I've started using it and it doesn't seem to have done anything to heal them any quicker than they would have on their own or with other products I've used in the past. Also, the packaging is really excessive - cellophane, an enormous box, thick plastic bottle... Is this just aimed at celebs, hence the packaging needs to be uber? Basically, it's nice but nothing out of this world. I'm going back to my beloved Zelens after this.

lanie

Where to begin....

I can only sum this review up by saying it was an extremely negative experience. This cream is very expensive - and in CAD exchange, it's tantamount to outrageous - in that it was the single most drying cream I have ever used - I am a mature woman and have used many luxury brands over the years and continue to do so........ LaPrairie, Mila Moursi, TNS Serum, 3Lab, etc. and have never been as disappointed in any product as I have with this one. It is/was EXTREMELY drying to the point that I wanted to scratch it off - not unlike having the worst quality sunscreen on my face. The only positive thing I can say, is that the packaging is impressive.

SLS

Rich Cream

It took me a minute to buy this and wow wow wow. This is all they say it is and more. It is well worth it. I read reviews before I buy so for those of you unsure yes it is expensive but it is a great cream and makes your face look great. I do use all of my serums with it as I did not think it was enough without it but it is still magnificent.

Neenee

Comforting

It’s an outrageous price but on the other hand you don’t need a whole pile of serums and layers of product. It is so comforting to my dehydrated skin. No reaction or breakout. It is perfect under makeup and seems to moisturize all day. Hard to say if it has produced miracles but it’s excellent quality. I bought the cream version.

Marta

Absolutely fantastic and it really works

I hardly ever write fanatical reviews about skincare, but those creams both original and rich formulations got me addicted. Beautiful consistency that absorbs really well, made my skin smooth and hydrated immediately, I'd say the consistency is not like any other cream and it immediately boosts your skin. The smell is a little bit medicinal, but in no way it is disturbing. I have combination skin, sometimes prone to blemishes, and I happily use both formulations or even mix a pump of each if I want something in between. Over a month of regular usage my skin is hydrated, smooth, healthy and glowing. Definitely will be repurchasing. Kudos to professor Bader for creating such beautiful products!
