If you follow luxury skincare even a little, you’ve probably heard the name Augustinus Bader. What started as a cult favourite brand has now become a full-fledged global phenomenon, with fans ranging from Hollywood celebrities and runway makeup artists to dermatologists and beauty editors. And now, Bader has released its most advanced formula to date: The Elixir.
First, a bit about the brand
Augustinus Bader is not your average skincare label. Founded by Professor Augustinus Bader, a German biomedical scientist and physician, the brand is built on over three decades of research into stem cell science and regenerative medicine. Professor Bader’s work initially focused on helping burn victims heal without surgery, a field that led to his breakthrough discovery, the TFC8® complex.
TFC8®, short for Trigger Factor Complex 8, is the foundation of the entire Augustinus Bader range. It’s a proprietary blend of amino acids, high-grade vitamins, and synthesized molecules naturally found in skin. Rather than masking issues on the surface, it works to support your skin’s own repair and renewal processes. That’s why people rave about real changes in skin texture, tone, and firmness over time, not just a temporary glow.
So what makes The Elixir so special?
Let’s put it this way: If The Rich Cream was the icon, The Elixir is the prodigy.
This is the brand’s most concentrated and potent formula ever, designed to deliver results faster and deeper than any of its predecessors. It’s water-free, silky to the touch, and absorbs almost instantly, no heaviness, no greasiness, just active ingredients doing their thing.
The Elixir combines the latest evolution of TFC8® with a brand-new complex called the Exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate. This plant-based powerhouse helps nutrients penetrate deeper into the skin, supercharging cell regeneration and collagen production. It’s also inspired by exosome science, the study of how cells communicate and repair themselves, which places The Elixir firmly at the cutting edge of bioengineered skincare.
What can you expect?
The clinical results are impressive:
- 26% improvement in skin firmness
- Up to 25% reduction in crow’s feet and fine lines
- 74% reduction in uneven pigmentation
In other words, The Elixir is designed for anyone looking to firm, smooth, and brighten their skin and it starts working fast. Whether you’re already loyal to the Bader lineup or looking to make a serious skincare investment, this serum is a powerful addition to any routine.
When can you get it?
The Elixir is officially landing in Australia in late July and will be available at Mecca, and if past Bader launches are anything to go by, it’ll likely fly off the shelves. For global shoppers click here.
So if you’ve been searching for a one-step serum that delivers visible results without the fluff, backed by decades of science rather than trends this might just be the product that changes the game for you. Because when a stem cell scientist decides to make skincare, the results are bound to be different.
