| Verdict | Augustinus Bader's nutrient face oil — fourteen-plus cold-pressed seed oils (grape, babassu, jojoba, argan, hazelnut, cranberry, rosehip) layered with the brand's signature TFC8 peptide complex. The texture is genuinely lightweight despite the oil-richness, absorbs without leaving a slick, and works as a single-step replacement for serum + moisturizer in dry-skin routines. Layer over The Serum or use solo for the high-leverage minimal-step PM application. | Biossance's signature: sugarcane squalane + stable vitamin C in a dry-oil format that glides rather than drags. Genuinely elevates skin finish. |
