Thanks for your video; really enjoyed it though I'm late to the comment section. I've been using the Rich Cream for nearly a year. I was VERY skeptical when I bought it but after two weeks noticed visible improvements in lines on my forehead softening to the point that friends have asked me what I've had done. Months later the lines are even less apparent. Still there but far shallower and nearly gone towards the sides of my face. I have ultra sensitive skin and this does not bother it at all. No redness, dryness, irritation or breakouts. I'm 60 and very lucky to have nearly perfect skin with some crows feet but no other lines other than the forehead and along the side of the mouth. But my forehead was lined enough that I had contemplated Botox. I don't feel I need it now. I do understand not everything works for everyone; I've tried loads of high and low end products people raved about and never saw a whit of difference. On the one hand, I'm sad to like this because $$$ but on the other, I couldn't be more pleased with the results. I started using the VB primer in the mornings and like that too, though I do find that a tiny bit drying. But again, no irritation, and it's nice under makeup. Hope some may find this helpful!
So glad to hear your results with the VB primer! I have just started using mine... I too am so impressed with all VB has come out with and am looking forward to more!
Maybe the time you dermaplanned was after Dr. Bader. I have noticed your skin looking better and more luminous lately! V.B. product sounds great! My go to primer is Tarte Poreless. I ❤ It!! It makes your skin feel like satin. Great for applying a smooth foundation application...or not! That was nice of Leah to send you her product. You girls work well together! Cheers to you both! 🤗🤗
Tarte poreless is a thick filler type though. Like this stuff is a different kind all together. I imagine I would use the Victoria primer except in my ugly pore areas! Speaking of Dr. Brandt has a new one. Not Pores no more. Pores Refiner primer but the tube looks the same. I like it because well it works better than anything else I have tried and because it is silky feeling.
@@laurahelene9118 thanks Laura. I'm 61 and I have pretty nice skin, thank God! I use Osmosis skincare ... many of their products, if that could help you 🤷♀️!
@@ginafriend1690 I have used Osmosis but so expensive! I am not against going back but I think the Resce or Catalyst level III with Renew if I did. I was using 4 products before. Thanks so much.
@@laurahelene9118 I have 6 Osmosis Serums in my possession (plus 2 in storage) .. as well as Osmosis Boost .. and then I could go on .. but anyway .. it's all Worth It to me!! Any Great Info is Well Worth the Price $ point. Just Need to be Dedicated with Whatever Works For You and how Its Applied. I have done so much research, as is my nature period. Great Info on Penny's wall here too! I appreciate her Skinscare Knowledge and thoughts provided. What a great gal! Take care Laura. Best days are ahead! Cheers! 😊 p.s. Truly .. a Little Pea Size of it All .. goes along way! 👍
@@ginafriend1690 I agree a little lasts a while, but using twice a day. 1oz lasts a month, for me. Applied separately, not cocktailed. The studies are behind Osmosis. I look into everything I am putting on my face also, even more so when it is hundreds in products. Thanks for your encouragement 😘
I’m so happy I came across your channel! I have been thinking of purchasing the VB moisturiser for a while and this video has done it for me!! Will get my hands on it asap!
I have used both the creams from Augustin Bader and loved them both, didn't have any adverse reaction at all but each individual is different. You just have to try it out! Will give the VB primer moisturizer a try too next time....
Hi Penny! Can you do a video on the VB makeup you own? And also an update on what you think of the augustinus Bader products? Thank you for everything 🙏
You’re so awesome!! Encouraging a forum. Speaking truths. You rock my sweet love chop!! I’ve never heard of this dr! I think I need some Victoria Beckham makeup and skincare. Great info as always sweet girl!!! Love you!!😘😘😘
Thank you again for such an honest review. I will pass on these due to the price point. You have given us so many great affordable options with Hado Labo and Cos Da Baha that I will stick with those. They really perform well and my skin has never been so hydrated.
I’ve been using the AB The Cream during the day and The Rich Cream at night for the past year or so. I’ve had AMAZING results. They’ve basically transformed my skin. However, they’re super expensive, so I’m looking to replace them with a less expensive alternative. Could I use the Victoria Beckham AB Cream at night as well as during the day?
Synthetic Fluorphlogopite is a synthetic mica which is better than natural mica because of texture consistency and purity from other metals is the glow you see in VB moisturizing primer.
Yes, the Professor tested on animals, especially because the WOUNDER GEL is a MEDICINE and NOT a cosmetic, it is MANDATORY BY LAW everywhere to test MEDICINE on animals.
The mice “had burns”? More likely the mice were burned as part of the research to develop these products. Are there products you can recommend that are cruelty free?
I agree, I didn’t like that at all. That was the 2015 study prior to any of the cosmetics, this one included. This is not the same company, just pulling science from that research. She says she’s cruelty free. You have to decide if that’s cruelty free to you.
So glad you did this review. I have used the AB cream and was itchy and red. I have normal to dry skin. I was afraid to try the VB because it had the AB in it but everyone seems to love it and some friends who had the same reaction as me aren't having any reaction with the VB. Thanks again for another thorough review😊
Since it’s been so long from this review, would you still recommend Victoria Beckham primer moisturizer? I know you have found love in other products but I’m curious to see if your views have changed?
That was sooo interesting Penny. I couldn’t justify buying the Augustinus Bader rich cream, the exchange rate would make $385 AUD 😬 Victoria Beckham’s line isn’t available in Australia, but the 50ml would be $210 AUD, which is still a lot, but a big difference to the AB rich cream. In my uneducated experience the ingredients look better with way more benefits. Good on her for doing clinical trials. It doesn’t say how many people were in the trial, but not many brands do them at all. I’d be interested to try the 30ml VB cream. I’m also interested in her kajal liners in Bordeaux and Bronze. 🥰 I just ordered some Osmosis and Le Mieux from Leah. 💕
The rich cream ripped my normal-dry skin up in 5 days. It was so horrible and took several weeks to repair the damage. I like the VB a lot but I’m scared to use it daily and not exclusively as a moisturizer.
Hi Penny, absolutely love you and your videos and that you take so much time to answer questions. Thank you. I would like to know if you have heard of and thoughts on a product from Korea called sculplla. They have a mask done in a spa in clinic, a mist, a cream and a caviar cream. The mask is suppose to deposit L poly lactic ( think I got that right) fibers on your face that get down into your skin to give that lifting effect similar to a thread lift. Your review would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance 😍
Actually, Augustinus Bader’s Rich cream has been the ONLY cream that has made a huge difference in my skin after using thousands and thousands of dollars for most skincare creams. I use the VB’s primer before my makeup and my skin has never looked better! I used the cream for 4-7 months. Each person’s skin is different, so what works for one doesn’t work for another.
Hi Penny, Your video today is very timely for me. I have been using the smallest bottle of the AB Rich Cream for approximately 2 weeks now. I have to say, my face isn't hating it. I am trying to not use anything else, as part of his protocol is to use only his cream. Since I have no irritation, but haven't had mice like results, I may just try the Victoria Beckham one next time. I would love the bit of gold and immediate results you describe. Thank you.
My experience with the rich cream is that it dried my face on the first week of transition. A week after, my skin feels hydrated and look the best it could be. So, you might need adjustment time to enjoy the rich cream. From your review, now I'm intrigued to try VB primer, so thank you!
I bought that VB skincare cream and LOVED it.... I just hate to spend $95 for an oz of a product but dang, this is a GREAT cream!! I also love the delivery system.
Oh I am so glad you did this. I was just looking into her primer and his creams. My thought was get the cream because any makeup or primer will look great. I really thought it was great stuff. Which I should know better than to fall for hype and claims. I do know better But, my guess would be the formulation is the key. It may well be TFC 8 is is a good if not amazing cocktail. Applying it to human skin and getting it to work...step aside Doc and let the lady lead the way! Lol. Now that I will try. Will you keep using the primer longer term? Your skin looks beautiful. It always does to me! In fact you are a very beautiful woman.
First, thank you Laura for being so kind 🥰 I definitely will keep using this long term-I really like it. I could see it being my moisturizer over an essence and beneath my SPF in the summer and that’s it. In the winter it’s just another layer (in a good way) of comforting moisture. Anyway, thank you for your sweet words Laura :-) I hope you’re having a great Sunday! 💜
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE You're so welcome. I am glad to know you will continue with Victoria's primer. Another stunning woman! I would love to try her makeup also. It must be hard to continue using what you you like while continuing testing stuff for us. Please let us know if you are seeing changes you attribute to that. I only use light moisture. I love these gel or water type when I really feel the need in the winter. Otherwise it is only essence and snail mucin.
Hi Penny. I am shook...lol as they say! What do you know about personalized skincare based on your DNA? The company is Allel and is apparently legitimate and backed by science (I guess it better be! 😂) Would love to know your thoughts.
I’ve used Bader’s rich cream and serums. I’ve used it for over a year..honestly I like it but is it worth the huge price? I really don’t think so. I’ve had more results from products you’ve recommended Penny. 💕✌🏻
In 2010 (being exceedingly clumsy) I accidentally burned my forearm with the steam gun iron full heat full steam and had been operating at full setting for 40 minutes. The pain was terrible and at the A&E where they gave me a silver oxide cream that increased the pain ten times folds. I was in tears on the bus (consider I fibroblasted a few skin tags without painkillers nor topical nor oral and it didn't t hurt even half as bad). At home I could not take it anymore and I washed off the silver medicine and I begun applying a Nivea soy serum for mature skin with hyaluronic acid the first formulation that they produced. It soothed immediately the pain and I kept applying it thickly (rubbing out of the question it was a truly bad burn) all over the iron plate sized bad bad painful burn. I kept applying it the skin healed beautifully not a scar nor a mark and even the moles have not changed. I did terminate 2 and a half bottles of that nivea soy serum (£12). I spread the news with my gp etc within a short time you could not find it on the shelves of any store anymore. Somebody gobled it all up leaving nothing for the people. So if you should discover anything be very carefull who you reveal your discovery to. It doesn't t pay.
It’s essentially Nivea creme-the German ingredient deck- with added fermented algae . A great ingredient ,Nivea is a great occlusive moisturizer , but fermented algae is found in countless K-Beauty & J-Beauty brands , at a much lower price point.
I also wanted to add I have the rich cream, and it makes ur makeup looks gorgeous 🥰 but I agree I’ve not seen much of a difference at all. Not enough to warrant the price tag. I think I keep to Cosmedix and osmosis. I also wanted to add that VB did say she could use just her primer nothing else. So this does suggest u don’t need both, and by the sounds of it VB ingredients list and effects seem way better than AB rich cream or the cream. I’d defiantly be picking up the VB cream, I’m always looking for a glow and with it being 30ml and cheaper it seems such a better deal.
Hi Penny! Please please give your pregnant followers some skincare tips!!! What products are safe to use during pregnancy (AM and PM routines), and to minimize melasma? Is microneedling safe? I would very much appreciate if you made a whole video talking about this! I’m 7 months pregnant and unsure to use acids and some creams because of the potential harm of their components to my baby girl. THANK YOU!
I love your channel it is so informative. I wanted to love the Augustinis Bader the rich cream but don't love the price tag and didn't see any changes. Do you have any dupe recommendations? Would love to hear what you think.
Thank you for the information! It’s always so helpful. I was wondering if you would share what you know about HIFU for the face and neck area? Thank you Penny!!
So, I’ve been trying the VB priming moisturizer for the last few days and it’s definitely not blurring my pores, etc. it might even make them a little more apparent because of the shine. But, everyone’s skin reacts differently and I’ve paid for it so I’m going to stick with it to see if I get the 6 week improvement. I’ll let you know.
Would you mind doing a review on Sculplla? I’m considering purchasing but its expensive and would like to know if it’s an effective product. Love all your videos!
Yes! That video is coming very soon. I have used the Sculplla mask for well over a year along with the mist. I just received the new Sculplla cream a couple weeks ago and I’ll be sharing a breakdown of it all soon! 💜
Let me see if I have this right...the doctor gave mice 2nd degree burns so he could test / experiment with his skin care line. How exactly is that right to do? He couldn’t test it on humans who already had burn conditions? He had to burn mice to test?? Inexcusable! No product is worth torturing animals for.
Hard to say. I’ve been testing eyelash serums and some times my eyes get to watering and I wipe the tears away. Could be that. I haven’t done anything specific to my under eyes though.
I watched your video from your waycay where you sunburnt your face. That's what I still can see under your eye's. Didn't you use sunscreen. Never seen anyone as bad burned and pigmented as you 😕
I had a terrible reaction with the rich cream as well!! I used BR P50V then the cream. Red, irritation, dry for a week. So strange given none of the ingredients are known to trigger my skin. I would be willing to try the regular cream, as some heavy creams can irritate me.
The rich cream has lanolin alcohol, which is a known irritant . Kind of baffling , especially for sensitive , dry skin types. The cream has a better ingredient deck than the rich cream, in my humble opinion. Formulation aside , we aren’t in the lab ,but I’d love to ask them questions given the opportunity.
I am just getting ready to purchase the VB moisturizer. Would you recommend the tinted or the regular? I guess the regular would be more versatile in that you could wear it at night and not risk staining your pillow case.
So it’s been a while since I’ve used this product-but the original has kind of a golden/white tint and then the golden is more of a yellow golden tint. The original is more versatile, yes 😊
Unfortunately they don’t ship to the Uk. While I have your attention I would like to ask you if you are ever going to do a review of the brands lab series and estèe Lauder. I am curious to know what you think. Their both expensive or at least not exactly cheap. Are they worth the money? Tnx x
Hi I’m your new subscriber love your videos very detailed & informative please can you provide a link to order dr pen i’ll be very thankful lots of love ❤️❤️
Lisa Eldrige used the VB in her most recent tutorial on a mature model. The way she applied it did look so smoothing! Can’t believe the Bader has Alcohol, Citric Acid, Sorbitol and Xanthum Gum at a $265 price tag?!! No, just no.
That’s funny you ask that. Usually I say yes but today on accident I forgot it then went ahead and used it over my tinted sunscreen and I LOVE it that way! So pic your preference 💜
I haven’t posted one yet :)) I had a major mishap with the footage and so I have to re-do the peel on camera 🙄 I just really really hydrated my skin post peel. I felt like that made it very tolerable and I was able to work etc no problem. Also sunscreen of course! Hope this helps!
I really want to try this victoria beckham cell rejuvenating cream sooo baddd! I love the idea of a primer thats also skincare. do you think this product would be good for combination acne prone skin? Also do you recommend like a toner or something that someone with skin type like me should be using? :) thank you!
Hey penny thank you for your amazing videos and tips .. I have a question .. it's simple.. is applying pressure and facial massage good or bad ? Is it true that we should only use tapping super gentle methods?? Or can we massage our faces well everyday and use face yoga?do we loose our skin elasticity ? Does our wrinkles get worse and saggy from face massages ? Thank you . rana
I think facial massage is amazing. While being gentle is great around the eyes (for example) there is no reason to not massage the rest of the face. Our skin doesn’t “stretch out” like we have been told :)) The eye area though, that’s different. Delicate skin that should be treated with care 💜
I did the 28 day Augustinus Bader challenge and I also have dry skin. Around the 10 - 20 day mark was tough as it doesn't have the moisture my other creams have, but having completed the challenge my skin is way better than at the start.
That is really interesting! Maybe it’s like Retin-a where you need to power through and acclimate. I just couldn’t do it :-/ I’m so glad it worked for you! Thank you for sharing! 💜
The lanolin alcohol in the rich cream is incredibly irritating. I like the ingredient deck better in the Cream for combo /oily vs the rich when I look closely at the differences, but VB seems like a better bet for a daytime serum primer .
Thanks for your video; really enjoyed it though I'm late to the comment section. I've been using the Rich Cream for nearly a year. I was VERY skeptical when I bought it but after two weeks noticed visible improvements in lines on my forehead softening to the point that friends have asked me what I've had done.

Agree. Bader cream and rich cream was a massive miss for me too. I have a combination skin.

Can you educate us on Augustinus Bader and Defenage

Actually as a esthetician is the only cream i use and my clients use and see results in everything!
In 2010 (being exceedingly clumsy) I accidentally burned my forearm with the steam gun iron full heat full steam and had been operating at full setting for 40 minutes. The pain was terrible and at the A&E where they gave me a silver oxide cream that increased the pain ten times folds. I was in tears on the bus (consider I fibroblasted a few skin tags without painkillers nor topical nor oral and it didn't t hurt even half as bad). At home I could not take it anymore and I washed off the silver medicine and I begun applying a Nivea soy serum for mature skin with hyaluronic acid the first formulation that they produced. It soothed immediately the pain and I kept applying it thickly (rubbing out of the question it was a truly bad burn) all over the iron plate sized bad bad painful burn. I kept applying it the skin healed beautifully not a scar nor a mark and even the moles have not changed. I did terminate 2 and a half bottles of that nivea soy serum (£12). I spread the news with my gp etc within a short time you could not find it on the shelves of any store anymore. Somebody gobled it all up leaving nothing for the people. So if you should discover anything be very carefull who you reveal your discovery to. It doesn't t pay.
Wouldn’t that just make the sales better so they’d keep producing it?
@@binkao2938 the Department of Okwardness was involved!😊😊😊
Thank God we have knowledgeable truthful people like you! Le Mer is made of pretty much nothing so not worth the price or glamour put on it
It’s essentially Nivea creme-the German ingredient deck- with added fermented algae . A great ingredient ,Nivea is a great occlusive moisturizer , but fermented algae is found in countless K-Beauty & J-Beauty brands , at a much lower price point.
Can I use the vb as my only moisturizer after vitamin c and peptides
Thank you Penny ❤️🎄 ~ Charli 🌸
Thank you Charli for being here! 💜
I also wanted to add I have the rich cream, and it makes ur makeup looks gorgeous 🥰 but I agree I’ve not seen much of a difference at all. Not enough to warrant the price tag. I think I keep to Cosmedix and osmosis. I also wanted to add that VB did say she could use just her primer nothing else. So this does suggest u don’t need both, and by the sounds of it VB ingredients list and effects seem way better than AB rich cream or the cream. I’d defiantly be picking up the VB cream, I’m always looking for a glow and with it being 30ml and cheaper it seems such a better deal.
I received the AB cream in my beauty advent calendar, and was just looking at the VB cream online, I didn’t realize there was a connection
Interesting right?!
A skeptic might point out that mice live 12-18 months, how do they have fine lines and wrinkles? Asking for a friend 😉
Lol fair point 😏
Although dogs live 15-ish years and turn grey so it’s all relative I suppose 🤷♀️
Hi Penny!
Please please give your pregnant followers some skincare tips!!!
What products are safe to use during pregnancy (AM and PM routines), and to minimize melasma? Is microneedling safe?
I would very much appreciate if you made a whole video talking about this! I’m 7 months pregnant and unsure to use acids and some creams because of the potential harm of their components to my baby girl.
THANK YOU!
Microneedel is fine
Stick with less actives if you'd worried
Vitamin c is good
And aloe
I love your channel it is so informative. I wanted to love the Augustinis Bader the rich cream but don't love the price tag and didn't see any changes. Do you have any dupe recommendations? Would love to hear what you think.
Where to get samples of vb moisturizer
Thank you for the information! It’s always so helpful. I was wondering if you would share what you know about HIFU for the face and neck area? Thank you Penny!!
I actually use the VB on top of my AB RICH CREAM. 💕
So, I’ve been trying the VB priming moisturizer for the last few days and it’s definitely not blurring my pores, etc. it might even make them a little more apparent because of the shine. But, everyone’s skin reacts differently and I’ve paid for it so I’m going to stick with it to see if I get the 6 week improvement. I’ll let you know.
Hi Penny,
I am wondering if you still use the VB product?
Did you see the results after 6 weeks?
💕🖤
Would you mind doing a review on Sculplla? I’m considering purchasing but its expensive and would like to know if it’s an effective product. Love all your videos!
Yes! That video is coming very soon. I have used the Sculplla mask for well over a year along with the mist. I just received the new Sculplla cream a couple weeks ago and I’ll be sharing a breakdown of it all soon! 💜
Thank you. Your skin is beautiful!
Let me see if I have this right...the doctor gave mice 2nd degree burns so he could test / experiment with his skin care line. How exactly is that right to do? He couldn’t test it on humans who already had burn conditions? He had to burn mice to test?? Inexcusable! No product is worth torturing animals for.
Agree!! I''m surprised Penn didn't mention that in her review.
Were the mice burned before the cream was used on them? :(
Hi sorry, what was the name of the moisturiser that you use again?
What have you done to your skin under eyes.
Looks red and sore.
Hard to say. I’ve been testing eyelash serums and some times my eyes get to watering and I wipe the tears away. Could be that. I haven’t done anything specific to my under eyes though.
Maybe it's the makeup.
Hard to say.
I’m a pink skinned person so who knows 🤷🏼♀️
I watched your video from your waycay where you sunburnt your face.
That's what I still can see under your eye's.
Didn't you use sunscreen.
Never seen anyone as bad burned and pigmented as you 😕
Could it be good for men? please help me and thank for that amazing review.
Of course!
I had a terrible reaction with the rich cream as well!! I used BR P50V then the cream. Red, irritation, dry for a week. So strange given none of the ingredients are known to trigger my skin. I would be willing to try the regular cream, as some heavy creams can irritate me.
The rich cream has lanolin alcohol, which is a known irritant . Kind of baffling , especially for sensitive , dry skin types. The cream has a better ingredient deck than the rich cream, in my humble opinion. Formulation aside , we aren’t in the lab ,but I’d love to ask them questions given the opportunity.
Love my AB cream!
I am just getting ready to purchase the VB moisturizer. Would you recommend the tinted or the regular? I guess the regular would be more versatile in that you could wear it at night and not risk staining your pillow case.
So it’s been a while since I’ve used this product-but the original has kind of a golden/white tint and then the golden is more of a yellow golden tint. The original is more versatile, yes 😊
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Thanks so much. Enjoyed this review.
sold! heading to get the VB! :))
So penny how would you use this with your spf? Would you use it first, or after? If it’s priming then ....I’m kinda confused..thanks.
Unfortunately they don’t ship to the Uk.
While I have your attention I would like to ask you if you are ever going to do a review of the brands lab series and estèe Lauder.
I am curious to know what you think.
Their both expensive or at least not exactly cheap.
Are they worth the money?
Tnx x
What lipstick you wearing? Looks gorgeous x
Hi I’m your new subscriber love your videos very detailed & informative please can you provide a link to order dr pen i’ll be very thankful lots of love ❤️❤️
What are you wearing on your eyes? It really makes them pop! Thank you.
I was wearing a Victoria Beckham palette-Tweed.
Thank you!! 💜
Lisa Eldrige used the VB in her most recent tutorial on a mature model.
The way she applied it did look so smoothing!
Can’t believe the Bader has Alcohol, Citric Acid, Sorbitol and Xanthum Gum at a $265 price tag?!! No, just no.
Ooooh! I love Lisa Eldridge!
Is it the video she did with Victoria or a new one? I’ll go check.
And yeah, I agree on the Bader ingredients! 💜
Just reread your comment, obviously not on Victoria bc she’s not mature. I’ll go watch the latest video! Thanks 🙂💜
Should I use the VB primer before my (untinted) sunscreen? Thanks in advance💕
That’s funny you ask that. Usually I say yes but today on accident I forgot it then went ahead and used it over my tinted sunscreen and I LOVE it that way! So pic your preference 💜
PENN.SMITH.SKINCARE LLC Thanks Penny!
The cream has alcohol whereas the rich cream does not have alcohol.
Hey, unrelated... did you take down your TCA peel video? I did one today and came in to look at what you used for aftercare and I couldn't find. it.
I haven’t posted one yet :))
I had a major mishap with the footage and so I have to re-do the peel on camera 🙄
I just really really hydrated my skin post peel. I felt like that made it very tolerable and I was able to work etc no problem. Also sunscreen of course!
Hope this helps!
@@PENNSMITHSKINCARE Yes, thank you. I'm using emu oil and it's very soothing. I'll look forward to your retake. :)
I really want to try this victoria beckham cell rejuvenating cream sooo baddd! I love the idea of a primer thats also skincare. do you think this product would be good for combination acne prone skin? Also do you recommend like a toner or something that someone with skin type like me should be using? :) thank you!
Hey penny thank you for your amazing videos and tips .. I have a question .. it's simple.. is applying pressure and facial massage good or bad ? Is it true that we should only use tapping super gentle methods?? Or can we massage our faces well everyday and use face yoga?do we loose our skin elasticity ? Does our wrinkles get worse and saggy from face massages ? Thank you . rana
I think facial massage is amazing. While being gentle is great around the eyes (for example) there is no reason to not massage the rest of the face. Our skin doesn’t “stretch out” like we have been told :))
The eye area though, that’s different. Delicate skin that should be treated with care 💜
@@PENNSMITHSKINCAREthank u penny xx
Should you just use this in the morning?
That’s what I do :))
Thanks so much!!!
Hi Penny. I didn't like Dr. Bader's products. It dried my skin out so bad and my skin looked older not younger. Definitely a waste of money.
$200 for a shea butter moisturizer?????
Right?!
I did the 28 day Augustinus Bader challenge and I also have dry skin. Around the 10 - 20 day mark was tough as it doesn't have the moisture my other creams have, but having completed the challenge my skin is way better than at the start.
That is really interesting! Maybe it’s like Retin-a where you need to power through and acclimate. I just couldn’t do it :-/
I’m so glad it worked for you! Thank you for sharing! 💜
The ingredients are not that great. It has a lot of oils.
The lanolin alcohol in the rich cream is incredibly irritating. I like the ingredient deck better in the Cream for combo /oily vs the rich when I look closely at the differences, but VB seems like a better bet for a daytime serum primer .
Torturing sentient beings...how delightful.
I haven’t tried anything from her line
Way too much money for buying their names. Sorry
