Augustinus Bader

Augustinus Bader is one of the Best Skincare Brands. Augustinus Bader is the gold standard of celebrity-adored skincare — and it's not just the rich and famous (which are apt descriptors for both the brand and its devoted fans); beauty editors have also sung the brand's praises. Bader skincare is powered by its patented Trigger Factor Complex technology, which was inspired by three decades of cutting-edge skin healing and tissue repair research. However, there isn't just one product that works.

The brand has over 20 products for skin, hair, and body that have all been expert-formulated, expert-tested, and expert-approved. It's nearly impossible to list top picks without mentioning The Cream, which started it all, as well as its sister iterations: The Rich Cream, which is a personal favorite of InStyle, and The Light Cream. Another notable pick is the Eye Cream, which has a lightweight, serum-like texture that sinks into the skin.
