Omg: this celeb now has a skincare line
I can already hear you thinking: “Is there really another celebrity with a skincare line?” Yes. I get it if you think that way. It sometimes seems like every singer, actress, and athlete wants to make a foray into the skincare world. Just like Dua Lipa. Is there anything this girl can't do? Sorry, but she must be collapsing under that packed schedule of touring, making new albums, constantly being on vacation, learning all sorts of languages, and running a cultural platform? I start to sweat just thinking about the fact that I still need to find time to work out alongside my job. But Dua? Not her. She just casually launches her skincare line DUA with a big brand. As if she doesn't have enough to do already. And it seems like this one is actually really good. Curious if you want to add this to your routine? Then read on quickly.

Which big brand is Dua collaborating with?
Look, Dua can want to jump high and low in her worldly plans, but she's not a skincare scientist. She still needs the knowledge and experience of an experienced soul. That's why she decided to collaborate with the renowned Augustinus Bader. And this is not just any brand; this luxury brand looks at the real science behind skincare. The brain behind this brand, the German professor Augustinus Bader, has been seen as an expert in cell generation worldwide for over thirty years. He started the brand when he invented a medical cream that could heal burns. That powerhouse, TFC8, became the secret behind the product that put this brand on the map in one fell swoop: The Cream. I understand why Dua wants to collaborate with this brand because it's just that good. Everything is based on real science. So no sales pitches or toners with 0.01% retinol claiming to erase all your wrinkles. Just good, tested products made by experts. Of course, there is, uh, a price tag attached to that... For one 30 ml vitamin C serum, you quickly pay €345. That's a lot of coffees at Starbucks. Fortunately for you, the products from the DUA line are nowhere near as expensive – they range between €38 and €78.
What all is included in the DUA skincare line?
That's exactly what I want to know too. I, with my acne-prone skin, am always looking for new products that will actually do something good for my silky smooth face. Especially for this collaboration, Augustinus created a milder version of TFC8 that you can use every day: TFC5. That is the technology of Augustinus that provides the building blocks for your cells to renew themselves faster. That sounds good. The packaging is super handy to take with you on all your travels – which Dua does a lot – and there are no harsh active ingredients in it. So even for our warriors with sensitive skin, you can try this. So. What can you expect from this line? Well, three whole products:
The Balancing Cream Cleanser €38
Cleansing your face is one of the most important steps in your routine. How else are you going to remove all that makeup, leftover sunscreen, facial oils, and dirt from your face? You certainly don't want to marinate in that all night. That's what the Balancing Cream Cleanser is for. This is Dua’s secret to a clean skin: “This is my morning and night reset. It cleans my skin without that tight feeling. It stays even, balanced, and hydrated. A real lifesaver on the go.” And with this large bottle of 125 ml, you can use it for a while. Thanks to ingredients like glycerin, tsubaki oil, and TFC5™, this is definitely a good addition to your bathroom. And honestly? For that €38, you will never get an Augustinus product, so you might as well try it now.
The Renewal Cream €72
A skincare line is not complete without a moisturizer. The Renewal Cream is said to hydrate your face, improve elasticity, and make your texture smoother. And all that while strengthening your facial barrier. Those are a lot of promises, of course, but they have actually been proven: there’s a reason why Augustinus products are so expensive and beloved. They just work great. You can see that from all the ‘scientific’ ingredients like pre- and postbiotics, various microbiomes, hexapeptide-9, and of course the powerful TFC5™. Oh, and a tip from Dua: this cream is, according to her, the perfect makeup base.
The Supercharged Glow Complex €78
Just like almost everyone in beauty land, Dua wants a glowing skin. That glass skin that you think might break when you touch it. So beautiful. She created the Supercharged Glow Complex serum for that. This should make your skin stronger, lighter, and firmer. They say it can even fade old acne scars and dark spots. I want that, you know. What’s in it? Retinol (duh), vitamin B7, niacinamide, ectoine, and how could it be otherwise: TFC5™. So that's a recipe for smooth, beautiful skin. No skincare expert can argue with that.
Yes, people. Add a sunscreen and you have a whole new routine. No fuss, no hundred serums and toners: just simple products that work well. That's what Dua also wanted to convey: you don't need a 10-step routine where the whole sink is filled with all sorts of bottles. It's not about the quantity, but about the quality of the products. And the consistency, because yes, after one application, you won't get results. Do you want to try these products? I do. I'm going for the cleanser first. Let's see what I'm working with and move on. Who knows, this might be the secret to my upcoming fantastic skin. Or maybe, just maybe, I'll feel just like Dua: so confident and comfortable in my own skin. We all want that. Especially if it means a Callum Turner is sent my way. A girl can dream, right?
