Augustinus Bader The Cream Cleansing Gel

Augustinus Bader cream cleansing gel, the first step morning and night

This is a gentle gel cleanser for the start of your routine, morning and evening. Massaged over damp skin, it works into a light lather and rinses off. Use it on its own, or second in a double cleanse after The Cleansing Balm.

Its maker names dry skin, sensitive skin or uneven texture as the match.

What Augustinus Bader says it does

1. Removes dirt and impurities without stripping or drying the skin
2. Calms stressed skin
3. Locks in moisture to preserve the skin barrier
4. Visibly improves skin tone and texture
5. Smooths imperfections, tightens pores and helps to maintain elasticity

The formula pairs TFC8, described as supporting skin cell communication for continuous, visible renewal, with cucumber extract to soothe stressed skin, rose flower water to tone and refine, and aloe vera leaf juice to hydrate.

In its 12-week consumer perception study of 55 participants aged 18 and over:

1. 100% agreed skin was cleansed without feeling stripped
2. 100% agreed it gently removes makeup
3. 100% agreed skin felt balanced and hydrated
4. 100% agreed the rest of their routine was easy to apply after use
5. 98% agreed skin felt calm and soothed after use
6. 94% agreed it gently removes waterproof eye makeup
7. 90% agreed it left the complexion radiant and glowing with health

These are the participants' own ratings, not instrument measurements.

How to use it

• Apply a small amount to damp skin.
• Massage in circular motions to work up a light lather, then rinse thoroughly.
• Use it morning and evening as the first step. For a double cleanse, use it second, after The Cleansing Balm.

Then follow with what goes on after the cleanse.

On a mask day the cleanse still comes first, since the cream mask for after a cleanse goes onto clean, dry skin.
