When it comes to luxury skin care, few brands have garnered a following quite like Augustinus Bader. Founded by biomedical scientist and physician Professor Augustinus Bader, the brand boasts skin, hair, and body care products that use a patented technology that was developed over the course of Professor Bader’s 30-year career in the stem cell biology and regenerative medicine fields. This approach has helped to earn Augustinus Bader a loyal celebrity clientele that includes everyone from Meghan Markle to Victoria Beckham.
One more famous face who’s been a longtime fan of the brand? Dua Lipa. The pop star recently shared everything she keeps in her handbag, which included two skin care essentials from Augustinus Bader: The Eye Patches and The Rich Cream. Ahead, find out what Lipa had to say about the products, and take a closer look at the patented technology that powers the products (and has helped to earn the brand more than 100 industry awards since its launch).
Augustinus Bader The Eye Patches

“I can’t live without them,” Lipa says of these copper-colored eye patches. “[They’re] super important, especially with all my travels. When I’m on a plane, I pop these on, and I’m like, ‘Okay, maybe I’ll wake up looking a little bit more refreshed.”
The hydrogel patches were designed to brighten, hydrate, and de-puff tired skin in as little as 20 minutes. To revive the delicate skin underneath the eyes, the patches are infused with a blend of botanicals, bio-engineered ingredients, and the brand’s patented Trigger Factor Complex (more on that later). Among the hero ingredients, you’ll find hyaluronic acid and sunflower root extract to promote plump, hydrated skin, as well as niacinamide, which is prized for its ability to brighten and soothe. For extra de-puffing and cooling benefits, try storing the patches in the refrigerator before you apply them.

The Rich Cream is the second skin care product that Lipa pulled from her bag, which also happens to be one of Augustinus Bader’s best-selling products. The daily moisturizer is ideal for dry skin types all year round, but its thicker texture is especially helpful during the winter months when you’re trying to combat the dryness and flaking that starts to set in with the colder weather. (If your skin is on the oilier side, The Cream gives you a more lightweight take on the formula, FYI.)
As with The Eye Patches, The Rich Cream counts the brand’s Trigger Factor Complex (TFC8® for short) as its hero technology. A combination of amino acids, vitamins, and peptides that are naturally found in the body, TFC8® claims to nourish the skin by supporting cellular renewal. While the proprietary complex works to address everything from a loss of firmness to redness and unwanted hyperpigmentation, the moisturizer also includes skin care staples like squalane, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and vitamin E to further nourish and hydrate the skin.
