**Short answer:** Whether Augustinus Bader is worth it depends on your budget and how much you like the texture, not on promises. At listing prices on October 10, 2026, The Cream costs about $6.27 per ml in the 50 ml jar and about $5.65 per ml in the 100 ml jar. Used twice a day, a 50 ml jar often lasts around two months, which works out to roughly $150 a month.

Augustinus Bader is one of the most talked-about luxury cream brands, and the price is usually the first question. This page does not try to tell you how your skin will respond, because nobody can promise that. Instead it puts the numbers on the table: price per ml for each product we track, a realistic cost per month, which sizes are better value, how sales and sets change the math, and the questions to ask yourself before buying a jar.

## Why the price is high

Bader builds its line around TFC8, which the brand describes as a proprietary blend of natural amino acids, high-grade vitamins and peptides. The listings also stress formula choices such as vegan and fragrance-free versions and recyclable glass packaging. Luxury pricing also reflects brand positioning, packaging and distribution, as it does for every brand in this category. See [what is TFC8](https://serumandjar.com/blog/what-is-tfc8-augustinus-bader) for how the brand explains its technology.

None of that tells you whether the cream is right for you. What you can check is size, texture, directions and price per ml, which is where the rest of this page goes.

Augustinus Bader price per ml, listing prices as of October 10, 2026

## What it costs per month

Cost per month depends on how much you use. A common amount for face cream is about a pea size, roughly 0.3 to 0.5 ml per use. At 0.4 ml twice a day, you use about 24 ml a month. On those numbers, a 50 ml jar lasts about two months.

Using that same 24 ml a month: The Cream in the 50 ml jar comes to about $150 a month, the 100 ml jar about $136 a month, and The Light Cream about $94 a month. Add The Serum at 0.3 ml twice a day, about 18 ml a month, and that is roughly $228 a month on its own, or about half that if you use it once a day. These are estimates; your real amount may be more or less.

| Product | Price per ml | About per month |
| --- | --- | --- |
| The Cream, 100 ml jar | $5.65 | $136 |
| The Cream, 50 ml jar | $6.27 | $150 |
| The Rich Cream, 50 ml jar | $6.27 | $150 |
| The Light Cream, 50 ml jar | $3.90 | $94 |

## Which size is the better value

The 100 ml jar of The Cream is the lowest price per ml of the Bader creams that share the formula, about 10% less per ml than the 50 ml jar at these listing prices. It only makes sense if you already know you like the cream, because it is a bigger upfront spend and a bigger jar to finish before it is past its period after opening.

The Light Cream has the lowest price per ml of the 50 ml jars, but it is a different, lighter formula that its listing describes as mattifying. Choose by texture first, then compare price. Our [Rich Cream vs The Cream](https://serumandjar.com/blog/augustinus-bader-rich-cream-vs-the-cream) page covers how the two main creams differ.

## Sales, sets and buying safely

People often search for Augustinus Bader on sale. Listing prices move, and sets can lower the cost of trying the brand. The Rich Renewal Trio lists The Rich Cream at 30 ml and The Rich Eye Cream at 15 ml, plus a hydrogel mask, for $365. The Illuminating Collection lists The Cream at 30 ml, a 100 ml cleansing gel and eye patches for $250. Our [gift sets worth it](https://serumandjar.com/blog/are-skincare-gift-sets-worth-it) page shows how to add up the ml in a set.

A very low price on a luxury cream is a reason to check the seller. Buy from the brand's own store or listings sold by Amazon or the brand. See [how to buy authentic luxury skincare on Amazon](https://serumandjar.com/blog/how-to-buy-authentic-luxury-skincare-on-amazon).
