SKIN SO SMART: AUGUSTINUS BADER’S RADIANT TAKEOVER AT BVLGARI RESORT DUBAI
Posted By: Sorbet
At the Bvlgari Resort Dubai Spa, luxury meets longevity as Augustinus Bader unveils The Vitamin C Serum and The Elixir – and two facials that redefine radiance.
It’s not every Friday morning you find yourself surrounded by marble and molecular innovation. Yet that’s precisely the scene at the Bvlgari Resort Dubai Spa, where the worlds of luxury and longevity converge.
Gathered to celebrate Augustinus Bader’s newest skincare advancements, guests were welcomed by Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine – celebrity facilist and brand ambassador for the German powerhouse of skin science. The occasion marked the unveiling of two new facial rituals powered by The Elixir, launched in June 2025 and their newest revelation – The Vitamin C Serum introduced on September 2025.

THE ELIXIR
Launched in June 2025, The Elixir is the most concentrated formula ever created by Augustinus Bader. Infused with Advanced TFC8® – a next-gen evolution of the brand’s signature complex – and an Exclusive Phyto-Peptidic Concentrate, it marks a pivotal leap in the brand’s regenerative science story.
Inspired by exosome research (the language of cellular communication), The Elixir behaves like a bio-intelligent nudge, helping skin recalibrate, renew, and act younger. The water-free, fast absorbing texture maximizes potency while delivering a cushiony, silky finish.
With Biometric Elastin, Marine Algae Activator, and a Collagen Amino Acids Complex, The Elixir supports elasticity, firmness, and long-term vitality – lifting the very definition of what skincare can achieve. Think of it as haute couture for the face: engineered with precision.

THE VITAMIN C SERUM
Three months later came The Vitamin C Serum Powered by Advanced TFC8® – the brand’s answer to the industry’s most brilliant yet temperamental antioxidant. Traditional Vitamin C can oxidize before it delivers; this formula pairs a stabilized form of Vitamin C with Ergothioneine and routes them via Advanced TFC8® for targeted absorption.
The result is brightening without backlash: refined texture, more even tone, boosted collagen support, and reinforced defenses against oxidative stress. Gentle enough for daily use and thoughtfully designed for all skin types and tones, it’s very rare Vitamin C that passes both the microscope and the mirror test.
THE FACIALS
To channel these formulas into full-scale rituals, the Bvlgari Resort Dubai Spa offers two Augustinus Bader treatments:
The Radiance Redefined Facial (exclusive to Bvlgari Resort Dubai) spotlights The Vitamin C Serum in a multi-sensorial sequence featuring LED light therapy, gentle dermabrasion, and the brand’s TFC8® technology. It targets hyperpigmentation, supports collagen, and guards against oxidative stress – leaving skin so clarified and reflective it seems to glow from within.
The Longevity Facial showcases The Elixir. A meticulous triple cleanse sets the stage; a sculpting, circulation-boosting massage follows; then the Elixir’s phyto-peptidic intelligence is layered in. The ritual culminates with a marine-infused mask, deploying algae-based actives to detoxify, replenish, and restore balance – an elegant merge of clinical precision and sensorial calm.

In the end, Augustinus Bader’s latest launches and the new facials at the Bvlgari Resort Dubai Spa represent a refined vision of modern luxury – where science and skincare meet with precision, performance, and purpose. It’s beauty built on results, not excess, and radiance defined by innovation rather than illusion.
