Today, pop star Dua Lipa unveils her own skincare brand – DUA – powered by the science of the beauty world’s equally stellar Dr Augustinus Bader.

Lipa worked with the Augustinus Bader brand for over three years to develop her own line of ‘everyday essentials’, the core products she could use on the road or at home to maintain her skin health. These products comprise the new DUA Balancing Cream Cleanser, Supercharged Glow Complex, and Renewal Cream, all formulated with TFC5, a new version of the brand’s signature TFC8 complex.

As any beauty enthusiast reading this already knows, TFC8 was born out of Professor Augustinus Bader’s medical-grade cream for burn victims, developed to heal skin by ‘triggering’ stem cells to repair the damaged area. The translation of that technology into commercial skincare is the key to Augustinus Bader products’ transformative anti-ageing properties and the reason behind their overwhelming success (the brand became a billion-dollar business within just four years of launching).
