Celebrity-favourite skincare brand Augustinus Bader featured in several of last year’s advent calendars from the likes of Space NK, Liberty and Cult Beauty, including the celeb-loved The Rich Cream. This year, the brand has launched its own 12 Days of Bader calendar, offering shoppers a complete premium skincare routine.
The Augustinus Bader calendar is filled with a selection of science-backed skincare staples and retails for £445. It contains more than £530 worth of the brand’s best-selling and award-winning products, including the iconic The Rich Cream (worth £145) which is used by Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian and Hailey Bieber.
Formulated with multi-tasking vitamin A and a patented Trigger Factor Complex, this hydrating facial moisturiser claims to reduce signs of ageing including fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Other products in the calendar include the 100ml Body Cream and 10ml Face Oil, which are worth £76 and £73 respectively.
Another celebrity-approved pick inside the calendar is The Serum, which Molly-Mae Hague recently revealed is ‘one of my favourite products from Augustinus Bader’. This deeply moisturising cream is packed with skincare essentials that boost cellular reproduction, healing your skin and enhancing your complexion faster.
As reported by the Mirror, the Love Islander added: “The whole Augustinus Bader skincare line is just insane”. The Tinted Balm, a unique collaboration with film director Sofia Coppola, is another highlight in the calendar.
The shea butter-based, non-sticky balm providing a hint of colour while soothing dry lips. The natural plumping agents lock in moisture, with 92 per cent of trial participants agreeing their lips looked softer, smoother and more voluminous, with plumpness proven to increase by 15 per cent.
