Augustinus Bader names this one for normal to dry skin, and specifically for cold or dry climates. That is the brand's own positioning, and it is the thing that separates it from the rest of the line. The brand describes The Cream as the lighter-weight, fast-absorbing option, and its own comparison table assigns hot, humid climates and oily or combination skin to The Light Cream.
The formula is built on TFC8, which Augustinus Bader describes as its patented Trigger Factor Complex. TFC8 is a brand name for the complex rather than an ingredient that appears in the INCI list, so treat it as the brand's own technology. Formulas change, so the label on the jar is the reference for a specific one.
What the brand's trials measured, and what they did not
Augustinus Bader publishes two sets of numbers for this cream, and they are different kinds of evidence.
From a four-week trial of 30 participants, the brand reports: skin hydration improved 2.45 times, transepidermal water loss reduced 33%, skin elasticity improved 36%, the appearance of forehead wrinkles reduced 37%, and the appearance of crow's feet wrinkles reduced 54%. The brand does not state which of these were instrument readings and which were graded by eye.
From a twelve-week study of 107 participants, the brand reports what people said rather than what was measured. On its US page: 99% agree dry skin feels hydrated all day, and 96% agree skin looks firmer and feels more supple and elastic. On its regional listing: 94% noticed dark spots, age spots and imperfections are visibly reduced, and 100% noticed skin redness appears calmed and reduced.
Both sets are the brand's figures, published by the brand. The summaries do not give full methods, controls or statistical detail, so the second set in particular is participant impression rather than measurement. The widely cited independent lab test of an Augustinus Bader cream was run on The Cream, not this one, and should not be read across.

Which Augustinus Bader cream, if not this one
Augustinus Bader assigns a skin type to each of its creams, and this one takes normal, dry or mature. For oily or combination skin, and for hot or humid climates, the brand points at The Light Cream, its weightless cream-gel. Its soothing cream is the one it names for very dry, irritation-prone or sensitized skin.
My bag arrived in reasonable time - under 2 weeks from UK to USA - as expected. The bag is beautifully understated with soft leather, a lovely smooth strap that will not snag delicate knits but wide enough to feel comfortable on the shoulder even when carrying a heavy tablet and a smooth running zipper. It is carefully finished - no loose threads or crooked stitching and was exceedingly well packaged so there are no creases or scratches. The price was exceptionally good, especially as it included shipping and tax. I will recommend and consider buying from this site in the future.

Seashell Handbag
Hello,
The bag itself is nice. However the ball of straw at the top makes it difficult to wrap the loop around it. The clasp needs to have a smooth surface or use a smooth metal clasp or a large faux pearl (like on other identical bags) or with a strong magnet or a clasp used on many top closure bags. I tried to push down the straw ball so it's easier to close. Tell your supplier about this issue.
The bag smells so horrible of toxic moth balls, I couldn’t even bring it in my house. My whole head hurt as soon as I opened it, and I had to wash my hands after touching it. It has been sitting outside for 24 hours and the smell is just as strong. I need a new one that doesn’t smell Iike this.
The wrong item was sent but your customer service is not responding at all!!!!!!!!
I ordered
Lottie Flap Crossbody Medium Handbags-Olive
But got
Lottie Saddle Crossbody Small Handbags - Olive
These are well-made and very comfortable - was delighted when they arrived! The foot shape is very elegant (not too wide) which I think is not represented optimally in photo. More colors please!
These shoes were improperly size ranged. I am between a snug 6-1/2 and 7-ish depending on the shoe. I was too intimidated to order the smaller size seeing the 6– to 6-1/2 which 6 I am definitely not. So these 38’s are so huge I’ve inserted TWO inserts, and TWO Heel gels for each shoe and they are still hopelessly unwearable. I’m absolutely distraught. If you send me the smaller size I’m going to try to return these if you tell me how. Please send me the smaller pair.
