When it comes to eye creams opinions have always been divided. Is such a special product really necessary? No, say some. “A well-formulated face cream can also be used for the eyes. The skin around the eyes doesn’t need any different active ingredients than the rest of the facial skin,” says Dutch dermatologist Dr. Marjolein Leenarts. Proponents, on the other hand, argue that the skin around the eyes is thinner and more sensitive, which also makes it more susceptible to irritation and environmental toxins. Tired, puffy eyes or bags under the eyes would also benefit from an eye cream.
I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all answer to this question. The question you should ask yourself is: Where do I live and what is my lifestyle like? For example, I spend most of the year in a sunny country. Despite using UV protection every day, my skin needs more care after exposure to the sun, especially after long summer months—particularly around the eyes. Fine wrinkles and lines reveal this when I look in the mirror.
Eye cream? Please make it rich!
That’s why, in the fall, I regularly use a rich eye cream in the morning and evening that deeply nourishes this thin skin area while visibly lifting, firming, and smoothing it. “The Rich Eye Cream” from the Augustinus Bader collection is not exactly a bargain at 185 euros for a 15 ml jar, but it works wonders.
The Rich Eye Cream, our richest eye cream yet, uses our proprietary TFC8® technology in combination with effective ingredients such as wild gentian root extract and the Matrikine Anti-Wrinkle Complex to intensively nourish, tighten, and firm the eye contour while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.Reverse emulsion technology provides intense hydration and a rich texture that is perfect for rejuvenating the delicate, aging skin around the eyes. The included cooling steel massage applicator helps reduce puffiness and promotes microcirculation.”Professor Augustinus Bader, MD, PhD, Leipzig, Germany
What does TFC8 mean?
Trigger Factor Complex TFC is a carefully formulated blend of high-quality vitamins, lipids, and highly effective, specially developed peptides. Professor Bader, a pioneer in stem cell biology and regenerative medicine, developed it after more than three decades of innovative research in the field of skin healing and tissue repair.
TFC8 technology delivers key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to the skin, creating and promoting an optimal environment for cell renewal. It transforms potent base formulations into smarter, adaptive skincare that can address individual concerns—such as fine lines and wrinkles or damage caused by external stressors.… weiterlesen
To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
Body cleansing is the be-all and end-all for me to start the day fresh. I can’t do without a shower in the morning. Nevertheless, I am careful and use most shower gels very carefully, only using them on the “neuralgic” areas of the body. Unfortunately, many dry out the skin unpleasantly. It starts to tighten soon after drying off and you can’t reach into the cream pot quickly enough to at least compensate for the loss of moisture to some extent.
I was therefore particularly excited about Augustinus Bader’s body cleanser. One of the claims of “The Body Cleanser” is: “Gently removes impurities and dirt without stripping or drying out the skin.” Admittedly, I am also a very visual person. And the bright blue bottle with its bronze-colored tilt cap simply looks good in the bathroom and is pleasant to hold with its curves.
Gel becomes foam
I first wet my skin in the shower before applying the cleanser. As I massage it in, the light gel texture transforms into a luxurious, rich lather. The calming scent of eucalyptus fills my nose, which is not only refreshing but also relaxing. I already feel good and completely clean. I rinse the foam residue from my skin with the final shower jet. My skin feels soft and nourished and there are no signs of moisture loss.
This is what Prof. Augustinus Bader says about the new body cleanser: “Skin care doesn’t stop at the face. Our entire skin is susceptible to damage from daily stressors and ageing. With the power of our TFC8 technology, our latest formulation The Body Cleanser combines highly effective ingredients to cleanse and revitalize the skin without stripping it of moisture. It is also the ideal base for the absorption of our other nourishing body products such as The Body Cream, The Body Lotion and The Body Oil.“
And what exactly is this TCF8 complex developed by Bader and contained in all its products?
The Trigger Factor Complex TFC is a patented mixture of natural amino acids, high-quality vitamins and peptides. It is the result of over 30 years of research, innovation and clinical studies. TFC8 technology delivers key nutrients and powerful natural ingredients to the skin, creating and promoting an optimal environment for cell renewal.
It transforms potent base formulations into smarter, adaptive skincare capable of addressing individual concerns – such as fine lines and wrinkles, redness, hyperpigmentation, cellulite, stretch marks and damage caused by external stressors.… weiterlesen
