Augustinus Bader, the luxury skincare brand beloved by celebrities, has launched a new product promising to banish wrinkles and dark circles—but are the results too good to be true?
The brand's latest offering, the Augustinus Bader Eye Masks, has gone viral, with before-and-after images showing dramatic transformations. However, sceptics argue that the images may have been digitally enhanced, raising questions about the product's real efficacy.
What Do the Eye Masks Claim to Do?
According to the brand, these eye masks are infused with their patented TFC8® technology, which stimulates cellular renewal and reduces signs of fatigue. The masks promise to:
- Diminish fine lines and wrinkles
- Brighten dark circles
- Hydrate and firm the under-eye area
The Photoshop Controversy
While many users swear by the product, some beauty experts have pointed out that the promotional images appear suspiciously flawless. Critics suggest that lighting, angles, and even digital retouching may be exaggerating the results.
"Skincare products can improve the appearance of the skin, but no mask can completely erase deep wrinkles or severe pigmentation in one use," says dermatologist Dr. Emily Hart.
Are They Worth the Investment?
Priced at £85 for a set of eight masks, the Augustinus Bader Eye Masks are undeniably a splurge. For those willing to take the plunge, here’s what real users are saying:
- Positive: "My under-eyes looked noticeably brighter after one use."
- Mixed: "Nice but not life-changing—better for hydration than wrinkles."
- Negative: "Overpriced for minimal results."
Ultimately, while these masks may offer a temporary glow-up, managing expectations is key—no product can truly Photoshop your skin in real life.
