You can use all the serums and cleansers you like, but you'll need a moisturizer to achieve results. A daily moisturizer is a must-have for any skincare routine as it keeps your skin's outer layer hydrated and protects it from external factors that lead to inflammation, fine lines, dry skin, and other premature signs of aging. 

At Augustinus Bader, we have two ultra-hydrating formulas to keep on your radar: The Cream and The Rich Cream. The formulas, texture, and outcomes vary slightly, but both can keep your skin looking and feeling hydrated, soft, and supple.

Whether you're new to Augustinus Bader or a long-standing customer, here's everything you need to know about the differences between The Cream and The Rich Cream.

 

Before diving into the major differences, let's consider their similarities. Both formulas contain TFC8 technology, come in three sizes: 50ml, 30ml, and 15ml. 

Here's a closer look at the differences:

The Cream
The Cream is your everyday go-to daily moisturizer, formulated with vitamins, amino acids, and protective antioxidants to retain skin moisture and hydration throughout the day. Known for its luxurious satin finish, The Cream is the top choice for those with combination skin types, or men, looking to elevate their skincare routine as it supports collagen production, promotes elasticity, and keeps skin hydrated. Known for its ultra-hydrating, lightweight texture, The Cream revitalizes your skin, prevents damage caused by environmental aggressors, and calms unwanted irritation. 

The Rich Cream
The Rich Cream, a favorite daily moisturizer, features a rich texture formulated with high-potency botanicals, omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants to nourish, hydrate, and renew your skin. This formula provides a radiant, dewy finish, making it the ideal choice for those with normal to dry skin who want to add an extra glow under makeup. This ultra-hydrating product also locks in all-day hydration and prevents trans-epidermal water loss.  

Both moisturizers are clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. You can expect results in as little as four weeks when you use either product consistently during your night and morning routine.

 

Skin Types Suited for The Rich Cream

The Rich Cream is a daily moisturizer for people with normal, dry, or mature skin types. It contains an expert blend of argan oil, avocado oil, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E — four must-have hydrating nutrients that prevent trans-epidermal water loss and deeply hydrate the skin. 

The Rich Cream is a great daily moisturizer for those in colder, drier climates who need an extra hydration boost to get them through the day.

 

Skin Types Suited for The Cream

The Cream is the perfect daily moisturizer for anyone with combination, oily, or blemish-prone skin. 

This moisturizer contains aloe vera leaf juice, retinyl palmitate, vitamin A, shea butter, and vitamin — soothing ingredients that calm stressed skin, help maintain a radiant complexion, and keep your skin fresh, especially in humid climates.

 

Ultimately, choosing The Rich Cream and The Cream comes down to personal preference and considering what works best for your unique skin type. Whether you're eager to try The Rich Cream or The Cream, you can trust that both will deliver the desired results. Clinically proven formulas boast the powerful TFC8 technology and a potent blend of nutrients and vitamins.
