| Verdict | Augustinus Bader's lighter sister to The Rich Cream — same TFC8 hero, in a daily-driver weight for combo and oilier skin types ready to invest in the brand's science. | The $290 cream that biomedical professor Augustinus Bader built on his TFC8 (Trigger Factor Complex) wound-healing research. The clinical data is on wound healing, not anti-aging specifically — but the celebrity endorsement list (Kim Kardashian, Victoria Beckham, Naomi Campbell) is its own data set. The cream is genuinely excellent; whether it's $260 better than CeraVe is the real question. |
