I\u2019ve done the *hard* work so you don\u2019t have to.<\/p>\n As a combination-skin girl, shopping for moisturisers can be tricky.<\/p>\n I need something that is going to deeply hydrate my dry patches (hello cheeks), but something that isn\u2019t too greasy or heavy so that it over-greasifies my T-zone.<\/p>\n Be the first to know: Add 7NEWS as your preferred news source on Google I also look for something that wears well underneath makeup<\/a>, given I spend three days a week in the office and am usually wearing some form of tinted moisturiser.<\/p>\n This is why, as soon as I saw the Augustinus Bader\u2019s Light Cream consistency<\/a>, I was already invested.<\/p>\n More like a serum than a moisturiser<\/a>, the lightweight gel-like fluid feels soothing and moisturising as soon as you put it on, like an instant hit of hydration or a thirst-quenching drink for the parts of your complexion that really need it.<\/p>\n This is because of the addition of Augustinus Bader\u2019s signature Trigger Factor Complex 8 (TFC8) technology,<\/a> a proprietary cocktail of more than 40 different ingredients, packed with vitamins and amino acids.<\/p>\n Even more than this, once it\u2019s on, it stays put \u2014 giving your skin that glowy look without leaving you looking greasy and shiny for hours on end.<\/p>\n Extra ingredients like Australian lemon myrtle extract work to help control sebum and oil, while the inclusion of Baobab leaf extract works to improve elasticity and tone.<\/p>\n All up, it\u2019s a heady cocktail for your skin.<\/a><\/p>\n Overall, this Light Cream<\/a> is very different upon testing to the signature Augustinus Bader Rich Cream.<\/p>\n Unlike The Cream, which is thick and opaque, The Light Cream<\/a> definitely falls into the serum hybrid camp. It\u2019s perfect for hot Aussie summer days.<\/p>\n Despite looking like a serum, however, I was impressed with how moisturised my skin looked both immediately after using it, and hours and days later.<\/p>\n Makeup goes on smoothly after using it<\/a>, and the results only compound with continued use.<\/p>\n At $297,<\/a> this is another pricey AB investment, but one I sincerely recommend if you can justify the price tag.<\/p>\n Given we live in a hot, humid climate in Australia, it\u2019s a given that you\u2019re going to need lightweight products that don\u2019t just sit on top of the skin.<\/p>\n But consistencies that really penetrate the skin without weighing it down are often hard to find.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re into products with immediate payoff, this moisturiser will give you that,<\/a> along with the additional feeling that your skin is just getting better and better every time you use it.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got oily or combination skin, put simply: it\u2019s a game-changing product.<\/p>\n For more information and to shop the Light Cream for yourself, head here now.<\/a><\/p>\n![\"7You](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/bd90c423c059066c5c127da3b75b409d720e6018-161x229-x95y0w2835h4032.jpg\")
