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.

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.

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!

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.

AB products just keep getting better
My skin has already come a long way simce using AB skincare, so when I bought this, i had high expectations for it to perform, but i didnt know exactly what to expect to see! And my goodness I am soo pleased I purchased. I have been using this retinol for 2 months, roughly twice a week at night time. I always pair this with either the ultimate soothing cream or the facial oil after cleansing then followed by the essence. This regime has been phenomenal. I really didn't think my skin could get any better as my skin has improved massively since using AB products over the past 18 months. I was blown away that this AB product could still improve my skin further! My skin has transitioned from oily/combo to normal. The retinol has specifically helped my existing pores tighten and appear smaller. Acne scars are healing, fine lines around the forehead gone and black spot marks from picking spots are 80% faded away. Over time I know the spot marks will completely go. My skin always feels smoother especially around my nose. The most impressive thing about this product is how I haven't had any acne/ hormonal breakouts along the jawline since using this product. My skin tone has also evened out. The retinol is lovely in texture, light and easily absorbs. No stinging or tightening, applies like a gel serum and doesn't require a lot of product for the whole face. The only thing I would say is that I personally wouldn't use this everyday although it says you can. I would always recommend one of the AB moisturisers with this to get the maximum benefit. AB products are expensive but its well worth the money as I have personally experienced real results. Thank you AB!
