She said her complexion is the“best” it’s ever looked.

My twin sister texted me a selfie a few weeks ago that, frankly, sparked skin envy. “My skin feels so glazed and poreless,” she’d written, her glassy, plump visage very much proving her point. It’d been about a month since she’d begun using the Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum, a relatively new launch from a brand Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Aniston, and seemingly every other fashionable person covets. I’m among the Bader loyalists, though I’ve yet to try its retinol serum. For a limited time, however, you can snag the serum, plus a host of other blue-bottled classics, on sale at SpaceNK when you use the code 20OFF at checkout. As Bader fans can attest, discounts on its products are rare, so snap up the serum, post haste, before it returns to full price on May 11.

The Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum is a highly effective, minimally-irritating formula that thwarts fine lines, smooths texture, and whittles pores to an almost indiscernible level. Ultimately, it creates otherworldly clarity, smoothness, and bounce thanks to the anti-aging powers of vitamin A.

Specifically, the serum contains retinol at a 0.06 percent concentration—a mid-range strength that, per the brand, was “carefully calibrated” to bolster the benefits of its hero ingredient, TFC8

Formulated for all skin types, including sensitive, mature, oily, and acne-prone, the ultra-light formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and, notably, skips past the acclimation phase retinol products often induce. (My sister reported zero irritation, redness, or dryness.)

In an attempt to “isolate the retinol,” and ensure she could, in fact, attribute any positive changes to Augustinus Bader’s Retinol serum, my sister whittled her typically lengthy nighttime skincare routine to three products—the brand’s essence, retinol, and a simple moisturizer—prior to testing. After applying the retinol once every three days for a month, she reported “poreless” skin that was “the best “ it had ever looked. As someone who has known her, quite literally, from birth, I can confirm that her 31-year-old complexion is bouncier than it was in college—highschool, even. Hence why I’m snapping up a bottle of the Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum myself—especially as it's on sale.

For plump, poreless-looking skin—sans retinol-induced irritation—shop the Augustinus Bader Retinol Serum on sale at SpaceNK; just remember to use the code 20OFF at checkout.
