Developed by a world-leading expert in stem cell research, Professor Augustinus Bader spent thirty years unlocking the body's innate processes to self-heal. The result? Game-changing skin care that uses a unique, patented Trigger Factor Complex – TFC8 – to help visibly reduce the signs of ageing and damage caused by environmental stressors, allowing skin to look restored, regenerated and glowing. The Retinol Serum works in tandem with TFC8 to deliver skin renewal and cell turnover benefits for firmer, more radiant skin.
From a brand so respected in the investment skin care arena that they can simply refer to their hero product as 'The Cream', comes Augustinus Bader The Retinol Serum. Pairing pure retinol with their proprietary TFC8 technology (which helps guide nutrients to where they're needed most), this powerful serum kick starts sluggish skin cells to fade acne scarring and dark spots, reduce fine lines and leave complexions renewed.
Pure retinol - balanced with a soothing zinc complex to counteract potential irritation - is the hero ingredient in this transformative formula, accelerating the skin's natural cell turnover to help plump up wrinkles, reduce blemishes and fade the marks they leave behind. The lightweight, hydrating texture is designed to optimise the skin's microbiome, keeping the complexion radiant and hydrated - and preventing the overgrowth of unwanted bacteria to keep breakouts at bay. With regular use, this decadent but decidedly efficacy-driven serum leaves skin looking clearer and more youthful.

Non irritating
I have dry really sensitive skin. I've tried retinol and other derivatives several times in the past and not found a retinol that does not irritate my skin, until a little sample of AB the Retinol Serum landed on my doorstep. Purchased a full 30ml bottle now. Yet to prove if this does deliver all the benefits advertised (will report back in 12 weeks), but so impressed at the lack of irritation that it's worth a mention!

Skin Brightening ✨
I received a couple of samples of this in a goody bag and am gutted I love it so much as it’s so expensive. A lot of retinol serums I find feel heavy on the skin and don’t add any hydration, but this feels incredibly lightweight, very hydrating and soothing. Zero irritation’s! Every time I would use this, the next morning my skin would be so bright, clear and glowy. I an 40 for reference. I really didn’t want to love this! I can’t justify the price but perhaps will treat myself to it in a sale.

Good but not the best
Really good retinol serum but I think there are better ones out there at more reasonable prices . I do love the rich cream face oil.

Have to say I don't think its the best retinol serum out there but I am a complete fan of their extra rich cream which is amazing

Light and tight
This retinol cream is very light and on sticky. It makes your skin feel tight which is exactly what I need. I suffer acne and I feel like it’s really reducing my scars. Pricey but seeing results!

Feels great
I use this before the oil and the rich cream. It’s the perfect base ... absorbs really quickly and no sticky feel like some serums have.

Excellent
First time using the serum and once more like all the augustinus products I’ve tried this does not fail to impress. My skin is quite dry and the addition of this under the oil and rich cream makes the perfect base for makeup.

It delivers
Very pleased with the result so far. I have sensitive skin and can confirm it tolerates this retinol formula (no redness or flaky skin). Additionally, I found it is hydrating and gives my skin a nice glow.
