All Dr. Barbara Sturm Products
5 products reviewed and rated.
Face Cream Rich
Dr. Barbara Sturm's anti-inflammatory flagship cream (rich variant) — purslane (Portulaca oleracea ferment), urea, shea butter, corn germ oil, grape seed oil, avocado oil, panthenol, baicalin, and pantolactone. Sturm's molecular-medicine positioning is genuine — she's a working orthopedic surgeon who pivoted into anti-inflammatory skincare. The Rich variant is for genuinely dry skin (vs. the lighter Light or original); shea butter at #5 is meaningful payload, not just label decoration.
Anti-Pollution Drops
Dr. Barbara Sturm's Anti-Pollution Drops layer purslane extract (Portulaca Oleracea — a documented anti-inflammatory) and bistort root with biosaccharide gum-1 (a documented anti-pollution shield) plus niacinamide, panthenol, and sodium hyaluronate. Fragrance-free. €130 for the brand's clinical-feeling antioxidant/pollution serum.
