"I have allergies and have always had severe reactions to skincare products—but not to DOC BERGER EFFECT products. Finally, at 38, I no longer have watery, burning eyes, a runny nose, or tight, itchy skin. At the same time, my wrinkles have visibly diminished and my pores have noticeably tightened. I still can't believe it myself!"

"As a new mom, I hardly ever get a moment’s rest, so my skincare routine has to be quick and easy. I tried DOC.BERGER’s Anti-Pollution Day Cream and I’m totally thrilled with it. It’s super easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and my skin feels great all day long. Despite the hustle and bustle of everyday life and the short nights, my skin now looks much fresher and healthier. For me, it’s simply the best day cream!"
- Vanessa F. from Mainz
"Anyone who has ever suffered from acne and breakouts can certainly relate to that feeling of constantly being uncomfortable and not feeling good about yourself. But now, thanks to your Medical Skincare, I’m finally seeing a significant improvement: My breakouts have almost disappeared, I have far fewer blackheads, pimples, and inflammations, and even the annoying redness has improved significantly. I’m SO grateful to you, and I’m gradually getting my glow back. I’m looking forward to continuing this journey with you, and I’m recommending you to lots of my friends, too.🥰"

- Andrea W. from Munich
"I've struggled with combination skin and hormone-related breakouts for a long time, especially after my pregnancy. I've tried every skincare product out there, but nothing helped.

A real lifesaver for anyone with similar problems!"
- Julia B. from Nuremberg
"Being on the go all the time means I often look tired. But ever since I started using DOC BERGER's Glowing Eye Patches, that's completely changed. The eye patches are super easy to use, and the results are amazing every time—the area around my eyes instantly looks fresher and more rested."
- Sissi M. from Düsseldorf
"Really great products! What I especially love is the cleansing foam. My pores have become smaller and my skin is noticeably less oily. I actually just wanted the products to address this specific concern, but as a side effect, my fine lines have also diminished and my skin looks plumper overall. My all-in-one, worry-free skincare routine 😍"

Your skin. Your stage. Your personal glow.
Celebrities' skin never looks like a matter of chance. It's the result of routines, high-quality active ingredients, and skincare products that are precisely tailored to the skin's needs.

DOC BERGER EFFECT Skin Analysis
Note on the Ratings
I’m 76 years old and have been using DocBerger Effect skincare for 2 years now. I’ve always taken great care of my skin and have spent a lot of money on products from major brands like Chanel and Dior. Two years ago, my daughter introduced me to DBE, and I decided to give it a try. I couldn’t believe that skin “this old” could actually feel so different!! After just a few weeks, I could already see—and, above all, feel—the changes! I now use the entire product line and especially love the Collagen and Booster Serum. But the Retinol and, in particular, the Time Machine are also “true” anti-aging products. All in all, it was the best decision I could have made for my skin—even at my age!
I moved to Bavaria a while ago, and shortly before that I had seen a segment on a morning TV show about the effects of skincare ingredients. The segment tested two products—one from a drugstore and one from Dr. Berger. The results clearly favored the DOC.BERGER product.
Out of curiosity, I took a photo of it at the time so I wouldn’t forget the name.
A few weeks later, I was out shopping in Munich—and happened to discover Dr. Luise Berger’s office on the same street. On a whim, I rang the doorbell, even though it was already Friday afternoon and the office had long since closed for the day.
To my great surprise, Dr. Berger herself opened the door—along with her daughter—and actually took the time to see me.
As soon as the door opened, I was greeted warmly and enthusiastically: Even the little dog welcomed me with loud barks and an excited wagging tail—it was a noisy but incredibly friendly welcome.
And I want to emphasize this point:
Dr. Luise Berger is not just a doctor for celebrities or VIPs.
She is a highly competent, down-to-earth, and incredibly warm-hearted woman who treats everyone with the same care. Even though I had simply dropped by on a whim and didn’t have an “important” appointment, I was welcomed, advised, and even treated so warmly—as if I were a friend of the family.
In addition to her warmth, it’s also striking that she and her daughter are incredibly well-groomed and naturally beautiful—you can tell right away that they themselves are the best examples of her philosophy of healthy, radiant skin.
Impressed by this encounter—and feeling a little guilty for having caught her off guard after work—I ended up buying all the products she had recommended to me.
To be honest, I was a little surprised by the high prices at first, but I decided to give everything a thorough try.
I am 49 years old and have been using the products regularly for over half a year now—exactly as recommended.
After just about six weeks, I could see visible improvements in the photos:
• the fine expression lines under my eyes were significantly reduced,
• my forehead was smoother,
• and my complexion was overall more even and fresher.
I suffer from an inflammatory form of rosacea and have struggled with skin redness and inflammation on and off for years.
That’s why I was all the more surprised by how well my skin tolerates these products—no irritation, no burning, no flare-ups. On the contrary:
In my case, the inflammation has significantly subsided, and my skin looks much calmer and more even.
I don’t know which specific product is responsible, since I’m using the entire skincare line—but the results are impressive.
Anyone who suffers from skin problems or rosacea can surely relate to how happy you are when you finally find something that works.
I could hardly believe it—these changes were the result of skincare alone, without any procedures or makeup tricks.
Today I can say:
I’m thrilled—not only by the results, but also by the overall concept.
The products seem well-thought-out, high-quality, and perfectly coordinated. You can tell that medical expertise, experience, and genuine passion have gone into them.
The family atmosphere also contributes to this special ambiance: Dr. Berger works closely with her daughter, who manages the product line with great dedication. Of course, this also includes the little dog, who is practically part of the team at the practice—a charming touch that shows just how warm and welcoming this practice is.
"I love you all 🩷"
The DocBerger skincare line, developed by Dr. Luise Berger, M.D., delivers unexpected improvements in skin appearance and helps address existing skin issues that arise over the course of one’s life. In hindsight, my own attempts to resolve problems using various products and recommendations seem almost futile to me now. Thanks to a highly expert assessment and consultation, I achieved a transformation I never would have thought possible. Medical expertise, innovation, and the continuous refinement of the products make this skincare line truly unique. Not only Dr. Berger herself, but also her patients reflect the effectiveness of the products. When my own mother wonders where my wrinkles have actually gone… what better feedback could you ask for? For me, daily use is a ritual of both emotional and physical self-care. I should have started this much sooner and relied on a true expert with high standards. Merci à toi.
As a Frenchwoman, I pay a lot of attention to my skin. I’ve never been able to find a product that meets my expectations.
I’ve been using Dr. Berger products for two years now.
I've never had such perfect skin before, and I've also noticed a very rapid improvement in the reduction of wrinkles and a more radiant complexion.
In conclusion, the products are incredible.
Skincare isn’t a short-term fix—it’s a long-term commitment to a daily morning and evening routine. I’ve come to understand that ever since I started using Doc Berger products. If you stick with it, you’ll be rewarded—not just with lasting changes and improvements in your skin’s appearance. The serums make you glow instantly and give your skin exactly what it needs at any given moment. The Biobotox Vit C, especially when combined with the Collagen Serum, are my two personal favorites.
An exceptional investment in my skin—and it’s definitely worth it! My skin feels well-hydrated and supple all day long, and those little dryness lines are noticeably reduced. Soon I’ll have the entire Docberger skincare line. 😍 I think it’s awesome that you deliver to Switzerland, too!
I’ve been looking for a long time for skincare as great as Doc Berger Effect.
I’m someone who tends to use fewer products, and I’m so happy to have finally found the right ones for me. The results are actually visible, and my skin tolerates Doc Berger Effect extremely well. My favorites are the eye patches, too.
Thank you, Luise and Eleonora, for bringing such a great product to the market.
My skin has never looked this good!!!
And those little wrinkles are gone, too :)
I'm super happy and love investing in these products.
Plus, the vitamin C and retinol are so great for healing scars.
I'll never use another skincare line again :)
With DOC.BERGER | EFFECT, I’ve finally achieved better-looking skin. I was hesitant at first, but then I gradually added more and more products to my routine,
Now I have my routine and I’m more than satisfied with it.
I always take my products with me on vacation, too ❤️
To be honest, I’m totally blown away! As a makeup artist, I test a lot of products—but these eye patches really surprised me. After just a few minutes, you can see a visible smoothing effect and a fresh look around the eyes. No slipping, no stinging—just pure skincare benefits. For me, they’ve become an essential part of my prep routine before shoots or events because they not only minimize puffiness and dryness but also perfectly prepare the skin for makeup. The glow is real—and that’s coming from someone who judges this professionally! I highly recommend them from the bottom of my heart.
I always had little bumps and pimples on my forehead—they're completely gone now. My skin feels so soft! 😍😍
DBE's products are really great! They deliver on their promises and are top quality! I've been using them for months and my skin is glowing! 😍 Highly recommended!
I’ve been using Doc Berger Effekt for about half a year now. And what can I say? Wow!!! These serums! I love the collagen serum. Anyone who hasn’t tried these products has only themselves to blame!!!! My skin has an unbelievable glow! Really great products! Nothing like other skincare lines. Shipping is incredibly fast, and the packages are wrapped with such care 🫶
I also have to say that Luise Berger always answers questions thoroughly, explains everything in great detail, and is so friendly!!! Thank you 🫶❤️
I love that the active ingredients are so clearly the focus—no unnecessary fillers, just pure skincare!✨
The Time Machine Night Cream is amazing! Docberger recommends using the Retinol Serum first on Instagram. I tried this combo and I'm completely sold on it!

Morning Skincare in 5 Steps:
5-Step Evening Skincare Routine:
Another simple rule of thumb is: from liquid to solid. So you start with the liquid serums (e.g. Hyaluron Lifting Serum) before moving on to fluid-like products (e.g., Booster Serum) and finally to the thicker creams (e.g., Time Machine).
Yes, you can use multiple serums at the same time. Here's your guide to possible serum combinations.
In the morning: After double-cleansing with foam and toner, apply the apply the Vitamin C + Biobotox Serum/Hyaluronic Lifting Serum/Booster Serum . Next, apply the Lifting Eye Wonder and finish by applying the day cream .
In the evening: After double cleansing with foam and facial toner apply the
C + Biobotox Serum/Hyaluronic Lifting Serum/Booster Serum/Purifying Power Serum . Next, apply the Retinol Serum and the Eye Cream , and finally apply the night cream .
The truth is, skincare isn’t a quick fix. It’s a long-term investment in your skin’s health. When you use our clean beauty and high-tech products, you should plan on at least 2–3 months to see visible results. Why? Because your skin needs time to adjust to the powerful ingredients and regenerate from the ground up. Our specially formulated products are designed to stimulate your skin to produce more collagen, elastin, and other essential building blocks on its own. These processes take time and require consistent use. Your body needs to absorb and make the most of the nutrients provided by the products to achieve real changes in your skin’s structure. It’s easy to get impatient when you don’t see immediate improvements. But if you stick with the recommended 2–3 months, you’ll find that the results are clearly visible and long-lasting.
Cleansing your face is an important step in your daily skincare routine. To achieve optimal results, we recommend cleansing your face in the morning AND in the evening . The combination of cleansing foam and a facial toner helps thoroughly remove dirt, sebum, and makeup residue and prepares the skin to absorb active ingredients.
What is exfoliation , the frequency depends on your skin type and your individual needs. In general, we recommend 1–2 applications per week. Our fruit acid peel is particularly effective at treating fine lines, dark spots, and uneven skin tone, as it gently removes dead skin cells and stimulates cell renewal. Remember to follow up with a rich night cream to strengthen the skin barrier and restore moisture balance.
We consistently refrain from using
Have you ever wondered why our skincare products don’t have that strong, perfume-like scent you might be used to from other brands? The reason is quite simple and has everything to do with our philosophy of clean beauty. DOC BERGER EFFECT focuses on ingredients that truly benefit your skin—without any frills and without the risk of skin irritation.
For us in production, this means: no alcohol, no dyes, no animal-derived ingredients, no paraffin, no essential oils, no silicone, no perfume, no parabens, no PEG/PPG, no microplastics, no phenoxyethanol, no nanoparticles, and, of course, no fragrances that could irritate your skin.
Our products simply smell natural—like the active ingredients they contain. Retinol smells like retinol, and products for blemish-prone skin with ingredients like salicylic acid and shale oil have their own distinctive scent. That’s not a bad thing—quite the opposite!
Now the decision is yours: Do you want a skincare product that might smell good but isn’t good for your skin in the long run? Or are you looking for a high-quality, active-ingredient-rich product that might not smell like roses, but delivers real results and keeps your skin healthy over the long term? Here at DOC BERGER EFFECT, we’ve chosen the latter. Because what matters isn’t the scent, but ensuring your skin gets what it truly needs—without compromise.
In our products, we rely on phosphatidylcholine (PC), an effective lipid that is not only a natural component of cell membranes but also enables the skin to be deeply nourished with nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants.
The use of phosphatidylcholine requires careful selection of ingredients. Since PC does not distinguish between beneficial and harmful substances, we at DOC BERGER EFFECT adhere to the Clean Beauty Standards. Clean Beauty means that our products are manufactured, as far as possible, without irritating, allergen-prone, hormone-disrupting, or environmentally harmful substances.
We strongly recommend against combining DOC BERGER EFFECT products with other skincare lines whose ingredients are unclear or that may contain potentially harmful additives. Such combinations can lead to unwanted skin reactions, as PC may transfer irritating substances from other products to the skin. The unique properties of phosphatidylcholine can only fully unfold their beneficial effects within a carefully designed product regimen. For this reason, it is advisable to follow a consistent skincare routine using exclusively DOC BERGER EFFECT products to ensure your skin always receives the very best care.
While some brands offer specialized skincare products for men, we’ve decided to rethink this approach and take a different path. Our products are designed to meet every individual’s unique skincare needs, and we deliberately choose not to categorize our products by gender.
We believe that the most important factors in skincare are your individual skin type, your lifestyle, your age, and your personal skincare goals. Our focus is on developing products enriched with carefully selected, high-quality ingredients that are specifically tailored to your skin type. At DOC BERGER EFFECT, personalized skincare takes center stage—we’re here to offer the right skincare routine for every individual, no matter who you are.
Our two-step cleansing routine with foam and facial toner, the day and night creams as well as the anti-aging serums are well-tolerated and can be used without hesitation.
Products from the Purifying line for severely acne-prone skinthat retinol serums and exfoliants should be avoided during pregnancy.
It is always a good idea to consult a doctor or dermatologist before using new skincare products during pregnancy to ensure that they provide optimal care for your skin without posing any risks to you or your unborn child.
Yes. Our Bestseller Sample Set includes four samples: the Four Seasons Day Cream ( 2 ml), the Lifting Eye Wonder ( 1 ml), and two night creams— Time Machine and Ultra Rich Night Cream (2 ml each). This lets you specifically test and compare a day cream, an eye cream, and two different night cream textures.
If you want to take your DOC BERGER EFFECT products with you when you travel, there are a few important things to keep in mind to ensure that your skincare products remain safe and ready to use:
1) Leak Test: Before you travel, make sure that all lids and caps on your products are securely and tightly closed. It’s important to remove the pipette and use a cloth (such as a tissue) to degrease and dry the collar as thoroughly as possible. This is exactly where a leak can occur. Don’t screw the pipette back on tightly until after you’ve completed this step.
2) Upright storage: Make sure the products are stored upright during transport, especially given the high pressure in an aircraft’s cargo hold. It’s best to use our yellow DOC BERGER EFFECT bagso that the serums and creams remain stable and cannot tip over.
3) When flying, carry your DOC BERGER EFFECT products in your carry-on luggage: To prevent potential damage or leakage during transport, we recommend carrying your DOC BERGER EFFECT products in your carry-on luggage.
We would like to point out that when traveling—especially on flights—there is a risk that our serums may leak due to changes in pressure or movement. Unfortunately, we cannot accept any liability for such incidents.
