Skin restoration has always been Augustinus Bader\u2019s secret sauce\u2014looking to improve skin\u2019s health from within versus targeting surface-level aesthetics. In his stem cell research, founder Professor Bader famously developed a revolutionary wound gel for scar-free healing without the need for surgery or skin grafts\u2014making way for his now-acclaimed Trigger Factor Complex (TFC8): \u201ca proprietary technology that targets common skin-care complaints like the appearance of wrinkles, dryness, and beyond,\u201d he previously told<\/a> Vogue. To wit, all of his products\u2014from skin barrier-nourishing moisturizers to hydrogel sheet masks\u2014are imbued with the same philosophy.<\/p>\n

So, it is of no surprise, that its latest debut\u2014The Vitamin C Serum available exclusively today for Vogue readers\u2014continues this through line. The team observed a growing need for a vitamin C serum that could deliver all the proven benefits, without the irritation so often associated with traditional formulations. The goal, as Bader explains, wasn\u2019t simply to launch another product, but to apply the brand\u2019s expertise to a universally sought-after category by \u201ccreating a formula that is both highly effective and deeply intuitive to the skin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Augustinus Bader The Vitamin C SerumWhy We Love It: \u201cRather than chasing a percentage, our focus was on creating a formula that is stable, effective, and well-tolerated by all skin types,\u201d Professor Bader says of his latest debut. Powered by a carefully chosen vitamin C derivative called ascorbyl glucoside, praised for its gentleness, alongside a revamped TFC8 complex, ergothioneine, ceramides, algae, and niacinamide, this seeks to improve skin\u2019s brightness, firmness, tone, and hydration\u2014without any irritation.Key Ingredients: Augustinus Bader\u2019s TFC8 Complex vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside), ergothioneine, algae evening complex, niacinamideSize: 30 mL \/ 1 fl. oz<\/p>\n

To grasp how Augustinus Bader\u2019s vitamin C<\/a> works, one must first understand the many benefits the ingredient yields skin. \u201cVitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that plays several important roles in skin health,\u201d board-certified physician assistant Paula Brezavscek previously said, calling it one of the most well-studied and effective ingredients for brightening\u2014protecting the skin from environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution to reducing dark spots, evening skin tone, and supporting collagen production.<\/p>\n

Its most common form, according to triple board-certified dermatopathologist Dr. Gretchen Frieling, MD, is L-ascorbic acid, which is considered the gold standard because of its powerful antioxidant properties. \u201cHowever, it is unstable and can be irritating for sensitive skin,\u201d she says, a pain point that Bader looked to solve for. Instead, they\u2019ve selected another form, the highly stable, water-soluble ascorbyl glucoside. \u201cThis allows us to deliver vitamin C with greater precision and efficiency, guiding it exactly where it\u2019s needed while preserving the integrity of the skin barrier,\u201d Bader adds. Dr. Frieling praises ascorbyl glucoside for its tolerability. \u201cIt provides brightening benefits by helping fade hyperpigmentation and sunspots, while also evening skin tone with less risk of irritation,\u201d she says. \u201cIts stability gives it a longer shelf life, meaning it maintains its potency better than L-ascorbic acid, which oxidizes quickly. Because it is gentler and less acidic, it can be used daily even on sensitive skin or alongside other actives such as retinol or exfoliating acids.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Skin restoration has always been Augustinus Bader\u2019s secret sauce\u2014looking to improve skin\u2019s health from within versus targeting surface-level…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":111375,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[15264,15266,712,102,6636,15267,1758,20208,15268,1012,56,54,55,307],"class_list":{"0":"post-111374","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-_commerce","9":"tag-_syndication_noshow","10":"tag-beauty","11":"tag-health","12":"tag-nutrition","13":"tag-onecolumn","14":"tag-shopping","15":"tag-skin","16":"tag-storytypesingle-product-review","17":"tag-textaboveleftsmall","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom","20":"tag-unitedkingdom","21":"tag-web"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=111374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/111374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/111375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=111374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=111374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=111374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
