Protecting against premature ageing and future breakouts, this retinol serum currently boasts a mega 953 reviews at Sephora, with over 600 giving it a perfect 5-star rating. Formulated to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation, this serum promises a lightweight and hydrating texture that feels clean on the skin.

Created without irritants, allergens, or synthetic fragrance, this serum is touted as perfect for blemish-prone and ageing skin and works to tackle everything from breakouts to crow’s feet.

This serum combines pure retinol with TFC8's cell-renewing properties to create healthier, rejuvenated skin. Aiming to reduce the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles, it also purifies pores and targets blemishes at the root for clear, smooth, even skin.

Augustinus Bader’s retinol serum aims to optimise the skin microbiome and prevent the growth of bacteria, which is responsible for skin concerns and thus reduces the risk of further breakouts and pimples. Prioritising the reduction of acne scars and hyperpigmentation, this serum also locks in moisture, keeping skin hydrated, radiant, and plump.

And it isn’t just Molly-Mae loving this brand’s miracle products, as hundreds of shoppers sing the praises of this retinol serum. One 5-star reviewer beams: “This product is by far one of the best I have ever used. It feels so light-weight and you don’t even know it is on your skin. It helps with thin lines and signs of aging. It has no scent, so it is perfect if you can’t do smells in your skin care products. . The slender bottle makes it easy to take with you when you are away from home and the bottle and packaging all look so high-end.”

More love comes from this customer who shares: “My skin looked very radiant and felt very plump after using this product. I would use it after my toner. The product didn’t have a scent which I didn’t mind. The packaging is cute. It comes with a holder for it to sit in and also the products are refillable.”

Further adoration comes from this buyer who gushes: “Received a sample of this serum. And WOW!!! Used this sample nightly to dab on my one mila that was on my cheek. The mila disappeared in 7 days. This is a gentle but so very effective. Love it!!”

A fourth chimes in: “The Augustinus Bader retinol serum makes my face skin feel so smooth and clear. I have noticed my wrinkles reduced after using it for 1 week. I love that it comes with a stand to make it look nicer on my counter.”

And another shopper enthuses: “The Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum is a skincare must-have! It has a luxurious, lightweight texture that absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling greasy. After consistent use, I noticed significant improvements in skin texture, reduced fine lines, and an overall radiant glow. The packaging is sleek and convenient, and the formula is gentle enough not to cause irritation while still delivering powerful results. It’s a splurge-worthy product that truly lives up to its claims!”
