Luxury maison Augustinus Bader has launched its new serum, called The Elixir, which incorporates Advanced TFC8®, a next-generation version of the company’s proprietary Trigger Factor Complex™, alongside an exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate.

The formulation is designed to deliver enhanced nutrient transport to skin cells through a proprietary biomimetic delivery system. The brand states that this technology offers a non-invasive alternative to traditional anti-ageing treatments, accelerating skin renewal and supporting long-term skin health.
The Elixir is inspired by developments in exosome science and aims to deliver both immediate and lasting results. It is water-free and fast-absorbing, which Augustinus Bader says maximises the potency of the active ingredients while integrating easily into daily routines. Claimed benefits include visible lifting, firming, improved elasticity, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, as well as enhanced skin hydration and luminosity.
Key ingredients in the formula include the upgraded Advanced TFC8®, the Exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate, biometric elastin, marine algae activator, and a collagen amino acids complex. According to the company, these components work to support collagen and elastin production, improve skin texture, prevent water loss, and deliver superior anti-ageing results.
The Elixir is formulated to meet clean beauty standards, being 100% vegan and free from gluten, GMOs, parabens, fragrance, sulfates, silicones, phthalates, DEA, heavy metals, talc, and mineral oils. The brand states it sources high potency botanicals and bio-engineered clean actives sustainably where possible to minimise environmental impact.
The application routine recommends using two pumps of the serum, applied in upward motions across the face, neck, and décolleté, followed by an Augustinus Bader moisturiser and eye cream. The Elixir is suitable for both morning and evening use, with sunscreen advised during the day.
Augustinus Bader was founded by Professor Augustinus Bader, a Leipzig-based physician and researcher in stem cell science. Since launching in 2018 with The Cream and The Rich Cream, the brand has expanded to a range of skincare and haircare products powered by its proprietary TFC8® technology. The company has received over 185 awards and was named ‘The Greatest Skin Care of all Time’ by WWD Beauty Inc. in 2021 and 2024.
