Victoria Beckham has had skin in the beauty game for quite some time, so when I found out she had collaborated with one of my personal favorite luxury brands, I definitely felt compelled to try it out. The beauty mogul released two products with Augustinus Bader—a Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer and a Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum—after originally falling in love with the brand’s The Rich Cream.

“I became totally obsessed with this moisturizer. So much so that I approached the professor to collaborate,” Beckham shared in a press release. Speaking on Augustinus Bader’s TFC8 science, she said “I want to put that in a product that’s going to also give you a glow and tighten your skin and lift.” And thus, the two products were born.

The Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturizer had me hooked from the first application. While I did get the smaller bottle (15 ml of product), I was happy that a little bit does go a long way. It brings an illuminating, lightweight feel ahead of applying makeup, and instantly sinks into the skin leaving it super soft and smooth. Best of all, any rough texture and noticeable pores both look and feel minimized. It leaves a really unique finish that I can only describe as similar to a silicone pore-minimizing primer, but in moisturizer form.
Beyond helping set the stage for a fuss-free makeup application, the skincare-makeup hybrid product comes with long-term benefits. It improves the skin’s natural radiance and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles overtime due to its inclusion of brightening extracts and the brand’s proprietary TFC8 technology.
“I have spent a lifetime searching for this product, so I made it! I wanted a moisturizer that was firstly treating my skin (powered by Augustinus Bader TFC8) with a texture that has a lifting effect on the skin, and leaves the skin with a polished golden glow. This product can be worn alone, or under makeup. The highlight it leaves on the skin is very natural, I often tap on more throughout the day to refresh and hydrate,” Beckham said in the same press release.

I won’t lie, I initially had minimal hopes for the matching Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum—I mean, another anti-aging serum on the market? Snooze. That said, the unique formula did take me by surprise. I’d apply a few drops of the serum onto my skin nightly, and by morning I could see a difference; my skin looked healthier and brighter, and it only took a couple of applications to see the changes.
Also powered by TCF8 technology, the treatment tackles past skin damage while protecting against future aggressors, such as digital blue light damage and pollution. Again, a little bit goes a long way, therefore I think the number of applications you’ll be able to squeeze out of this product helps justify the price in the long run.
“My Power Serum is the only serum I use in my routine—with hyaluronic acid, black tea ferment, and TFC8; it leaves my skin resurfaced and glowing, and eliminates the need for all of the other serums I was using before developing this,” Beckham previously shared with Byrdie.
Last but certainly not least, Beckham uses The Rich Cream to round out her routine. I’ve been a long-time fan of the brand’s best-selling product, so I already knew it would solidify the trifecta. The award-winning daily moisturizer hydrates and nourishes the skin like no other, while it’s cellular renewal properties backed by 30 years of research and innovation keep the complexion as youthful as possible.
It’s truly one of the few luxury moisturizers I whole-heartedly believe is worth the high price tag.
