Beloved by makeup artists and editors, the deeply hydrating Rich Cream and lighter-weight Cream each contain Augustinus Bader's proprietary TFC8 formula that helps improve cellular renewal. According to the brand's CEO and co-founder, Charles Rosier, developing this collection with Ackermann was a natural fit, as they share a similar world view.
“Augustinus Bader is so much more than a skincare brand—it's a lifestyle and a way of thinking. We are committed to building a collective of like-minded individuals that have a similar brand ethos, and we very much see the synergies between ours and Haider Ackermann’s," he tells Bazaar. "We are both dedicated to innovation and appreciate the specialty of craftsmanship. Haider is an extremely talented designer: from his pieces, to his community, to the iconic people he dresses. We have a similar world and way of thinking, so collaborating with him to bring something new and exciting to our consumer was immediately appealing.”

A major part of Augustinus Bader's brand ethos places an emphasis on the power of repair in the form of skincare, something Ackermann says he has experienced firsthand.
“When I first met Charles I was really intrigued about the idea of collaborating as I loved this brand and everything that it stood for: luxury, attention to detail, results-driven, dedicated to its craft," the designer notes of their partnership. "I wanted to do my research and use the creams first. The Cream had such a calming effect on me, now I am devoted. The first word that spoke to me about the brand is when they talk about healing. Healing is such a big word, but something we all deserve.”
Haider Ackermann and Augustinus Bader's The Cream and The Rich Cream sets are available to shop at augustinusbader.com starting at around S$774.
