Professor Augustinus Bader was working on stem cell research that could’ve rewritten burn treatment. Instead, he bottled it and charges $300 for a face cream.
The science is real — but so is the price tag. And somehow, women in my DMs are asking if it’s worth selling a kidney.
Augustinus Bader calls it The Cream 2.0 — a $310 daily moisturizer built on his TFC8 technology. The claim: it tells your skin’s stem cells to repair themselves. Bold. Arrogant. Intriguing.
TFC8 Complex
Patented signal mixture that mimics your body’s natural repair triggers.
Zero filler
No fragrance, no essential oils, no nonsense — just actives and texture.
The 2.0 Upgrade
New version adds squalane and shea butter for richer hydration. Still no greasy face.

Here’s the thing nobody tells you: it’s not about what’s in it as much as what it does. TFC8 doesn’t hydrate — it triggers your skin to hydrate itself. That’s a completely different game.
The formula is shockingly clean. No essential oil cocktail, no “natural fragrance” hiding allergens. Just science.
- TFC8: Activates your skin’s own repair signals
- Squalane: Softens without clogging pores
- Shea Butter: Locks in moisture without suffocating
- Vitamin C: Brightens while you sleep

It’s a whipped, almost mousse-like cream that vanishes in 15 seconds. No film. No residue. Your skin just feels… done. Like it already ate.
Week two update: my forehead lines looked less angry. But the real surprise? My skin stopped overproducing oil — it finally felt balanced, not stripped, not greasy. That never happens.

After four weeks: my skin looks like I’ve been sleeping 9 hours. The texture is smoother, my redness is calmer, and I’ve stopped reaching for my serum stash. But it didn’t erase my dark spots — nothing does, and anyone who says otherwise is lying.

It’s a luxury you don’t strictly need — but your skin will know the difference. I’m mad about it.
