Augustinus Bader’s new flagship night moisturizer costs $365 and targets fatigued, stressed or visibly aged skin. It combines Advanced TFC8 with purified cica, Nordic rosehip, carob extract, polyglutamic acid and hyaluronic acid. It is fragrance-free, vegan and non-comedogenic; the brand estimates the 50 ml jar lasts about 12 weeks.
In a brand-funded instrumental trial of 35 participants after one night, Augustinus Bader reports an 11 percent reduction in signs of fatigue and a 9 percent improvement in radiance. Longer consumer-perception studies report smoother, healthier-looking and firmer skin, but those are participant opinions rather than independent clinical endpoints.
This is not simply The Rich Cream with a nighttime label: it has a plush texture and a restoring, barrier-focused brief. The best candidate already likes the brand, wants a fragrance-free rich cream and values the refillable Nomad format. At $365, sample first and judge comfort, pilling and morning feel before committing. No moisturizer replaces sunscreen, prescription care or evidence-backed actives.
