Shoppers say it makes their skin look “more youthful.”
After trying just about every skincare treatment under the sun, I’ve realized that the difference between my skin being plump and dewy rather than dull and tired usually has less to do with layering serums and everything to do with a finishing moisturizer. It’s the final touch that nourishes, hydrates, and — if you find the right one — leaves skin feeling soft and smooth. So if I’m going to splurge on skincare, I’m more willing to invest in a moisturizer, and there’s one luxe cream I’ve been eyeing that Sharon Stone has officially convinced me I need.
When the actress hit the Vanity Fair Oscars after party, her skin looked radiant and smooth — in part thanks to Augustinus Bader’s the Rich Cream. The moisturizer was the finishing touch of her hydrating skin prep, acting as the perfect dewy base for her red carpet glam.

Augustinus Bader’s Rich Cream is Hollywood’s not-so-secret secret to youthful, plump skin. Stars including Jennifer Aniston and Victoria Beckham have used the luxe moisturizer, and supermodel Karen Elson even called it “the secret elixir for [her] skin.” A former InStyle beauty editor explained that the cream, which is formulated with hyaluronic acid, squalane, vitamin E, and a proprietary blend of amino acids, vitamins, and peptides, is “designed to replace all of the products in your skincare routine.” Offering hydration and skin-renewing benefits, many customers notice a difference in their skin almost immediately.
According to one user, their dry patches “completely disappeared” in just two weeks, while another said that in the same time frame, their skin got “firmer, more glowing…and more youthful.” Others noted how “refreshed and rested” they looked, and some nighttime users said that they wake up with “baby-soft skin.”
And with long-term use, people saw their skin become smoother, with a shopper over 60 saying that “nothing compares” to this cream that “truly changed” the appearance of their wrinkles, while someone over 50 explained that after several years of use, their “face is almost wrinkle-free.” “I wake up and my skin feels plump and my fine lines have definitely softened,” said a fan who's used it for more than three years.
With Sharon Stone now on the list of stars who use Augustinus Bader’s the Rich Cream, I’m convinced it might finally be time to add the luxury cream to my cart. Shop more of her red carpet skincare routine, courtesy of celebrity facialist Lord Gavin McLeod-Valentine, below.
