If you’re into beauty, you’ve almost certainly seen that infamous blue and gold bottle that houses stem cell scientist Augustinus Bader’s luxe face cream (and other skin and body products). For the record, I own both versions of the ubiquitous cream—The Cream and The Rich Cream—and I regret to inform you that, yes, they actually are worth every penny. But, there’s another lesser-known Bader product that’s also worthy of your attention (and your hard-earned coin): The Body Oil.
Now, before I get into all of the reasons why I love this body oil so much, you should know that I usually despise body oils and lotions. I know that my lizard-like skin needs the added hydration desperately, but I absolutely cannot stand feeling greasy and slick, which is usually the result I get after applying these formulas. Bader’s Body Oil is different from any body-care product I’ve tried, absorbing quickly and leaving a demi-matte finish on the skin. Just like a non-greasy dry oil for your hair, Augustinus Bader’s Body Oil works like literal magic to moisturize, smooth, and firm the skin without leaving behind a greasy residue.

This non-greasy body oil instantly reduces the appearance of cellulite, stretch marks, and discoloration.
Besides the super-subtle glow it imparts (this is not your glaringly glossy, old-fashioned baby oil, folks), what I love even more about the Body Oil is how it instantly blurs skin imperfections like cellulite, stretch marks, and even bruises like a heavy-duty Instagram filter. Thanks to this game-changing elixir, I was even able to forgo wearing pantyhose under my (mini) wedding dress last summer—and it didn’t stain the ivory under-slip or my shapewear.
Just like the brand’s coveted skincare products, the Body Oil is also infused with Augustinus Bader’s proprietary TFC8, “a potent cocktail of high-grade vitamins, amino acids and synthesized versions of skin molecules that is the result of 30 years of innovation and research.” The oil not only leaves a soft glow immediately after you apply it, but it also helps restore the skin barrier with continuous use. At $100, it’s definitely not an impulse buy, but believe me, if you’re feeling a bit insecure about showing off some extra skin this summer, Augustinus Bader’s Body Oil will not disappoint.
