Victoria Beckham, Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian, and Jennifer Aniston are all celebrated for their luminous skin, yet achieving a more youthful complexion doesn’t necessarily mean replicating a celebrity’s beauty regime. The correct skincare products can assist in keeping skin moisturised, supple and radiant, while addressing visible signs of ageing such as fine lines and reduced firmness.
One premium moisturiser that has garnered considerable attention is Augustinus Bader’s The Rich Cream, which is reportedly a firm favourite amongst a number of high-profile celebrities. The £80 15ml cream is formulated to support skin renewal and leave the complexion appearing smoother, plumper and more youthful, though individual results may differ.
The Rich Cream is built around Professor Augustinus Bader’s patented Trigger Factor Complex TFC8 technology. Developed off the back of more than 35 years of research, the formula blends vitamins, lipids and peptides to bolster the skin’s natural renewal process and create what the brand describes as an ‘optimal environment’ for healthy-looking skin.

First introduced to The Rich Cream by her facialist Melanie Grant, Victoria Beckham was quick to describe it as ‘exceptional’. The former Spice Girl has also applied the cream to models ahead of runway shows, helping to craft the radiant, glowing complexion she has become renowned for.
Beckham’s admiration for Professor Augustinus Bader’s skincare range has deepened further, with the style icon subsequently teaming up with the brand to create a line of skincare-infused make-up products. The collection features her well-regarded Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser and The Foundation Drops, which retail for £104, as reported by Express.
The Rich Cream
An award-winning, deeply hydrating cream that visibly smooths deep-set wrinkles, enhances elasticity and supports skin cell renewal for more firm, radiant, rejuvenated skin. Powered by TFC8.
Alongside its patented TFC8 technology, The Rich Cream is formulated with key ingredients including hyaluronic acid to nourish the skin, antioxidant-rich argan oil, avocado oil, vitamin E and evening primrose oil. This blend is specifically designed to restore dry skin, strengthen the skin barrier and visibly improve firmness, elasticity and fine lines over time.
The Rich Cream has also garnered high praise from celebrity make-up artists, among them Katie Jane Hughes, who regularly collaborates with Dua Lipa. She has previously hailed both The Rich Cream and The Rich Eye Cream as a ‘make-up artist’s best kept secret’ and ‘true must-haves’.
Those seeking an alternative premium face cream might wish to consider the Caudalie Premier Cru The Rich Cream, available from Cult Beauty for £85. Boasting patented TET8 technology combined with bio-ceramides and honokiol, this luxurious cream works to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, diminish dark spots, enhance radiance and boost firmness while maintaining optimum skin hydration.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly alternative, the currently reduced to £19.95 75ml Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré is another firm favourite among make-up artists. Emily Clarkson incorporates the multi-purpose moisturiser into her kit to prepare the skin of clients including Michelle Keegan and Perrie Edwards, helping to achieve a hydrated, dewy base prior to make-up application.

The Augustinus Bader Rich Cream also boasts clinical trial results to back up its claims. After four weeks, participants recorded a 37 per cent reduction in the appearance of forehead wrinkles, a 54 per cent reduction in crow’s feet and a 92 per cent improvement in skin firmness, according to the brand’s clinical data.
In a further 12-week trial, all participants reported that their skin felt instantly hydrated and nourished, while 96 per cent noted that it appeared firmer and felt more supple and elastic.
In a five-star review of the Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream, one customer wrote: “I’m 46 years old and this has absolutely changed my skin. Before my skin was dry and old looking. Now it’s soft and I look 10 years younger. Six months of using this and I will never go back.”
Another added: “Have been using the Rich Cream for a few months now and my skin has never felt or looked better. I feel the hype is real – can’t imagine a better moisturiser and I love how my skin feels more resilient. I now auto-replenish – great savings – because I adore this cream.”
A third said: “I’m in love with the AB rich cream! The texture is amazing! It is a food for my skin literally.”
Not all customers were won over, however, with one remarking: “Used it up in 2 1/2 weeks since I was using it twice a day. No change in wrinkles, pores or firming of my skin. Very disappointed.”
Yet the majority of buyers appear to share the same enthusiasm as the celebrities and their stylists, with one five-star reviewer enthusing: “Fabulous! No other brand can compete with this one! Very best skincare ever.”
