“The Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum is formulated for sensitive skin types who forego vitamin A products to avoid irritation”. Finally, a non-irritating retinol, has anyone tried it? xp

After 20 years casting models for Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and fashion shows, I wanted to spend more time with my daughters. KiC is my way to share my thoughts on fashion and style. I believe style should permeate every aspect of our lives — from home, to family, to where we go, and naturally, what we wear — especially when we're just running around.

Yes. Truly gentle experience for me.
Hello Preston and KIC audience- I think AB makes an amazing product however I have been using A313 Vitamin A (you can buy at French pharmacy) and I am really impressed with the results!! Plus- only $30!!! Has anyone else enjoying using this French favorite?
Thank you! I don’t have extensive experience but found and love Biosannce’s SQUALANE + PHYTO-RETINOL SERUM with bakuchiol, a plant-based alternative to retinol. My skin looks & feels improved whenever I use it; which is only when especially in need of a boost, but I should probably try using daily. Smells nice too.
I have been using the BeautyCounter Countertime Tripeptide Radiance Serum for 6 weeks now, after Salli Hughes recommended it. I started out every other night for 3 weeks & then every night. I like it & I have found it very gentle on my sensitive skin & I apply it over my moisturizer. I also mist my face with Laneige Cream Skin Mist to hydrate. I look forward to trying the AB Retinol Serum next!
I love AB and can’t wait to try this new product! I’ve cut way back on both retinol and Vitamin C products. I use them twice a week max and frequently take breaks from them altogether and finding better results.
Agustinus Bader’s products are amazing. The retinol serum is a game changer. Worth every penny! Love the Cleansing Balm too.
Green Cream Level 3! I’ve been using green cream forever – the only retinol my skin tolerates.

I use the A313 Vitamin A (you can buy at French pharmacy) too, love the way my skin looks!!
I just saw that the A313 Vitamin A is on amazon. Anyone know if it would be the exact same? two recommendations made me curious.
No but have tried their eyelash serum after throwing out other brands because they irritated my skin; the AB serum is both effective and totally irritation-free. I am a fan.
PS – the best (and least expensive) retinol I have tried is something called Altreno that is prescription-only – my dermatologist calls it in for me.
