Okay, so today I’m gonna spill the beans on my little experiment with Augustinus Bader’s “The Founder”. I know, I know, the price tag is kinda scary, but I was super curious after hearing all the hype.
First off, the “Why?” I’m always on the hunt for that holy grail of skincare. You know, the one that actually delivers. I’ve tried tons of stuff, from drugstore basics to fancy serums, and my skin is still…meh. So, I bit the bullet and grabbed a bottle of “The Founder”. The claims about TFC8 technology sounded promising, like a science fiction movie for your face.
The Unboxing & Initial Thoughts: The packaging is sleek, minimalist. Feels kinda luxurious, which I guess it should for the price! The cream itself is pretty lightweight. No strong scent, which is a plus for me since I’m sensitive to fragrances.
The Routine: I kept it simple. Cleanse, tone (sometimes), and then slather on “The Founder”. Morning and night. I ditched most of my other serums and creams to really see what this stuff could do on its own. I figured less is more, right?
Week 1: The Honeymoon Phase? My skin felt…nice. Hydrated. Maybe a little plumper. I was starting to feel optimistic, but I’ve been burned before, so I tried to keep my expectations in check.
Week 2-4: The Real Test: This is where things got interesting. I noticed some subtle but definite improvements. My skin texture felt smoother, and some fine lines around my eyes seemed less pronounced. I even got a few compliments, which is always a nice ego boost!
The Hiccups: I did experience a bit of purging around week three. A few little pimples popped up, mainly on my forehead. I resisted the urge to pick (a HUGE accomplishment for me) and just kept using the cream. Thankfully, they cleared up within a few days.
The Verdict: After a month, I can honestly say that “The Founder” is pretty good. It’s not a miracle worker – I still have wrinkles and imperfections – but my skin definitely looks and feels healthier. It’s more radiant, more even-toned, and just generally happier.
Would I Repurchase? That’s the million-dollar question (literally, almost!). It’s expensive, no doubt about it. I’m still debating whether the results justify the price. Maybe I’ll try a different product from Augustinus Bader’s line next time, something a little less pricey. But overall, I’m impressed. It’s one of the few skincare products I’ve tried that actually lived up to the hype, at least for me.
- Pros: Lightweight, hydrating, improves skin texture and tone, noticeable results.
- Cons: The price tag is insane, potential for purging.
Final Thoughts: Skincare is super personal. What works for me might not work for you. But if you’re curious about Augustinus Bader and willing to splurge, “The Founder” is a decent starting point. Just be prepared for the possibility of purging and remember to manage your expectations!
