Augustinus Bader The Overnight Restorative Cream
Achieving skin excellence in a single night is made possible with Augustinus Bader’s latest drop. In fact, this richly-nourishing salve is just what inflamed and sensitised skin needs thanks to the inclusion of its signature advanced TFC8®. Not only does it calm visible signs of irritation, it also boosts the complexion’s hydration levels so your visage appears smoother than before. In my case, the lingering redness from a heat rash eased up within just days of use, all while eradicating dry patches in one fell swoop. Continuous use is also said to result in a more toned, sculpted countenance due to its potent firming properties. — Emily Heng, beauty editor

Bergamot gets a mineral overtone with the addition of sea salt, transforming into an invigorating spritz that’s perfectly matched for languorous days and tropical vacations. — Aileen Liang, beauty writer
