The Serum

Very very nice product. Works exactly as described and loved the hydrating and smoothing effect. The only downside, of course, would be the price.

Smelly

I received the reward version of this product and it smells like crayons. It didn’t do much and I was concerned about what is in it due to the smell.

Great but I am really turned off by the packaging

A wonderful serum! Sadly I will not buy this amazing serum and most of it has to do with the wasteful packaging. To advertise sustainably sources resources, but to more than double the amount of landfill packaging, I sadly must say no. You don't need to have a superfluous amount of packaging to sell... It's a turn off :(

Great for mid 30s skin

I received a 7ml bazaar sample and this serum made my 34 year old skin feel 29 again within 2 weeks. Had to purchase the full size. I am weary of overpriced labels but this just works. Instead of separate vitamin c, peptide & hylaronic acid serums, I only use this AB serum and my Kiehls moisturizer after cleansing. My skin is the happiest it’s been in years! Would recommend to anyone in their 30s trying to slow first signs of aging

A miracle serum

I love this product! I been using it for now only a week and half and it’s done wonders. My skin is soft and radiates. I would recommend. Price wise I can definitely see the concern. But it works. awriting my onlyhad

Addicted

Softened my skin immediately and absorbed quickly. I dotted a tiny amount to each quadrant of my face with my fingers so it wasn’t absorbed by my palms. I’d have probably not tried it unless it was available as a bazaar item—will definitely splurge on this when I run out.

Smells horrible. Feels kind of slimy to me but absolutely absorbs well and scent disappears afterwards. Does help skin barrier but that smell is very chemically smelling. Gross.

Nothing special

I love Augustinus Bader product and use a lot of them but this on was not worth the money. I found nothing special about it.

Unremarkable

I jumped on the chance to get a sample of this product as a Beauty Insider reward but was totally unimpressed. The product absorbs easily, doesn't have an unpleasant scent and didn't irritate my skin but that's all the positive review I can give. For a product this expensive the results should be almost immediate and visible. I could find something similar in a grocery store beauty aisle.

disappointing

I love the AB cream so I was ready to switch over to their serum expecting even more improvement. I have to say - meh - which sucks given the price. It actually makes my pores appear larger! I will stick with my Barbara Sturm serums even though it means more steps. This is a return for me.

Excellent Serum

AB is the only skincare I will use on my face. If the price scares you, the ingredients in other skincare brands should scare you more. First, AB uses ECOCERT/COSMOS certified glass. The fact is that even the purest skincare products can fall victim to chemicals leached from plastic containers, meaning that not only the skincare product, but harmful chemicals such as Biphisenol A are applied directly to the skin. I’ll gladly pay more for glass. Second, AB uses safe and clean ingredients. Go ahead and download the Yuka app, pay the $8/year so you can search for products, then search for this serum. It rated 100/100 and is excellent quality. Then search for the serum you’re currently using, see where it stands next to this one. The sad thing is not even all “clean” brands rank 100/100. And a lot of high end brands, such as La Mer, rank 0/100 and contain hazardous ingredients. The bottom line, with consistent use you will reap the benefits of using AB products.

Not worth the price

I got this free to review and I have to say its really not worth the price. I loved the rich cream and was so excited to try this, but have not seen any noticeable difference in my skin. I'm 32 so I really don't have many wrinkles, but I do have some fine lines and there hasn't been any improvement. It looks like they suggest to use this for 12 weeks, but I ran out of the product within a month. It's not horrible, just not worth the high price IMO
