The Augustinus Bader cleanser was true heaven. It’s in the form of a super soft balm that smells wonderful and really feels like it’s wiping away the day while still being very gentle
I've found that the balm-like texture and odorless formula brings my skin a new level of moisture and clarity that I have never gotten from any product before.
I liked it fine when using it for daily cleansing—but it really shined when I took off heavier makeup. My mascara and liquid liner literally melted off, and my skin felt clean without being overstripped.
When one of the world’s leading stem-cell pioneers launches a cleanser, you know it’s going to be nothing less than incredible. And that’s exactly how we’d describe Augustinus Bader’s balm.
The Cleansing Balm works to nourish and protect the skin's integrity while encouraging its natural renewal cycle. The formula is designed to bind with oils and pollutants without causing harm or inflammation to the surface, which can accelerate signs of aging. It replenishes the skin's natural oil balance and eliminates harmful microbes that stimulate the overproduction of sebum to maintain a healthy and clear complexion.
Professor Augustinus Bader Read About Professor BaderThe Cleansing Balm is a miracle product just what I’ve been missing, totally transforms my parched skin.
The new Cleansing Balm is wonderful! I have struggled to find a product I like for years and this is the best!
I have tried every product under the sun since my 30's... I am now 63, and I am delighted with how my face looks after using both The Cleansing Balm and The Rich Cream.
I have only tried the cleanser and The Cleansing Balm and both are the best of each category I have ever tried. They both leave my skin looking radiant and feeling smooth.
