When the gap between artistry and science is bridged, and that too seamlessly by prominent figures, the birth of something remarkable is guaranteed. The collaboration between award-winning visionary designer, Haider Ackermann and illustrious skincare brand Augustinus Bader acts as a testament to this. Renowned for gaining cult followings through their métier, this powerhouse duo recently joined hands to create a collection carved from dreams.
An exclusive launch for the fifth-year celebration of Augustinus Bader’s signature moisturisers, The Cream and The Rich Cream, the collaboration comes as a sweet surprise for fashion and beauty enthusiasts alike. The sleek, futuristic chrome vessels designed by fashion extraordinaire Ackermann house the nourishing, deep-hydrating daily creams. The Nomad vessels embody the designer’s keenness for fluidity and line silhouettes – the modern boldness they exude alone renders them covetable.
The skincare brand’s two most famous products demand no introduction themselves – powered by Bader’s proprietary TFC8® technology, they support cellular renewal that promotes improved skin’s appearance. The Cream features a lightweight texture, ideal for combination skin types while The Rich Cream features a richer and emollient feel for drier skin. Both these moisturisers effectively reduce fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. With a distinct blend of natural amino acids, premium vitamins and peptides, these skincare heroes are high-performance. Newly enrobed in gleaming exteriors, these moisturisers simply belong on beauty shelves everywhere. To make it all the better, these limited-edition collectibles are refillable, making them wonder products that will last a long time.
This unique collaboration continues the shared artistry within fashion and beauty. What augments this partnership, however, is the brands’ collective dedication to research and superior quality. An illustration of how graciously functionality melds with design, the Haider Ackermann x Augustinus Bader collection promises a luxurious experience rooted in our senses.
Both The Cream and The Rich Cream come in 50ml bottles with respective 50ml refill packs at retail prices of RM2,520. The Haider Ackermann x Augustinus Bader Limited Editions are now available at all KENS Apothecary stores.
