When Augustinus Bader collaborated with Victoria Beckham last year on a couple of skin-care products for her beauty brand, it hinted at things to come from his own brand. Starting this summer, Bader finally (we've been waiting!) takes his own beauty-editor-loved range beyond moisturisers with the Augustinus Bader The Cream Cleansing Gel (£50).
The lathering cleansing gel blends Bader's proprietary TFC8 ingredient (which the brand claims is made up of over 40 different ingredients including vitamins, peptides, and amino acids, and allegedly activates stem cells in your skin, encouraging them to go into healing mode) with rose flower water, cucumber extract, and aloe leaf juice. When combined, the gel helps to cleanse and tone the skin, but without compromising or over-drying the skin barrier. In fact, thanks to the cucumber and aloe leaf, it actually helps calm and soothe your skin as it washes away makeup and grime. We absolutely love how soft and pampered it leaves our skin after using it.
