You've tried enough. Now it's time for visible change.

The best wrinkle is the one that never appears. That's why good skincare is worthwhile not only when wrinkles are already present but long before. The earlier you start counteracting collagen breakdown and UV damage, the longer you can maintain your skin quality – and often postpone or even completely avoid aesthetic treatments. Even in youth, targeted products can help with impurities, such as Foam Intense, Purifying Power Serum, or Retinol.

Preventive anti-aging care becomes particularly relevant from the age of 20 to 25. Not only age but also skin type, lifestyle, and individual skin goals are crucial.

Morning:

1. Cleanser
2. Toner
3. Serum
4. Eye Cream
5. Day Cream with SPF

Evening:

1. Thorough Cleansing
2. Toner
3. Serum
4. Retinol and Eye Cream
5. Night Cream

As a guide: from liquid to solid. For example, start with a watery texture like our Hyper Hyaluron Serum, then apply fluid-like textures such as the Collagen Serum, and finish with a cream like the Four Seasons Day Cream.

Yes – and we even recommend it. Different active ingredients complement each other perfectly and can achieve significantly better results together than a single serum. It is crucial that the formulations are sensibly coordinated.

Always apply serums from the lightest to the richest texture and allow each layer to absorb briefly. Which combination makes sense for your skin depends on your skin condition and your skin goals. Our online skin analysis or personal consultation will help you create the optimal routine.

Initial improvements such as a more intense feeling of hydration, more glow, or a strengthened skin barrier can often be visible or palpable within a few weeks. For example, our Glowing Eye Patches provide a refreshed eye area after just the first application.

Changes affecting biological processes such as collagen new formation, the improvement of hyperpigmentation, or long-term skin firmness, however, require more time. Here, you should plan for at least 12 weeks of consistent use, depending on the product.

Generally, the more consistently you perform your morning and evening routine and the more products you use/combine from us, the faster and more comprehensive the results can be.

The efficacy of our products is also confirmed by independent studies. For example, our Hyper Hyaluron Serum showed a 17% average reduction in wrinkle depth after just 4 weeks, and the Vit C + Spilanthol Serum showed a 16% average reduction. Both are absolute top values! For long-term improvements, patience and consistent application are crucial.

We recommend cleansing your skin both morning and evening. Throughout the day, sebum, dirt, fine dust, UV filters, and make-up residues accumulate on the skin, while at night, the skin excretes sebum, sweat, and metabolic products. Thorough cleansing is therefore the foundation of any effective skincare routine.

We generally recommend a fruit acid peel one to three times a week, depending on your skin type and goals. It removes dead skin cells, supports cell renewal, and improves the absorption of subsequent active ingredients.

As part of its Clean Beauty philosophy, DOC BERGER EFFECT deliberately refrains from using perfumes and unnecessary fragrances. Therefore, the products primarily smell of the active ingredients they contain. This is a seal of quality.

Retinol, salicylic acid, and bakuchiol each have their own characteristic scent. The focus is on tolerability, active ingredient quality, and the benefits for your skin.

Our skincare is selected not by gender, but by skin type, skin condition, age, lifestyle, and personal skin goals. Therefore, all products can be used regardless of gender. Men particularly love our Lifting Eye Wonder and the Retinol Intense.

Here's some good news: we specifically developed our skincare products for pregnant women. Precisely because Botox, fillers, and aesthetic procedures are not possible during this time, we have incorporated relaxing active ingredients into our products that counteract pronounced wrinkle formation and fill this gap. Cleansers (Foam & Tonic), day and night creams, eye creams, and our anti-aging serums are all well-suited. During this time, please only avoid the Purifying Power Serum, the Retinol Serums, and the Fruit Acid Peeling.

Yes. Our Bestseller Sample Set contains four samples: the Four Seasons Day Cream, the Lifting Eye Wonder, and the Time Machine and Ultra Rich Night Creams. This way, you can get to know and love different textures and care steps.

For your travels, we recommend our practical travel-size minis - they save space and weight in your suitcase. The perfect complement is our cosmetic bag to transport your products safely.

1. Check closures: Make sure lids and pipettes are tightly closed. For pipette products, carefully clean and dry the bottle neck before screwing the pipette back on tightly.
2. Transport upright: The yellow DOC BERGER EFFECT toiletry bag helps to store serums and creams stably.
3. Prefer hand luggage: Especially when flying, this reduces the risk of damage and leakage due to strong movements or pressure differences.

Despite careful preparation, leaks may occur when traveling. No liability can be accepted for damage caused by pressure differences or strong transport movements.

Then you've come to the right place: We consistently avoid alcohol, perfume, parabens, microplastics, hormonal additives, and allergenic fragrances. For sensitive skin, there is the Sensitive line. The best way to find the right routine for you is through our free skin analysis.

Yes. Especially skin that appears drier, more wrinkled, duller, or less elastic benefits from a consistent active ingredient routine with moisture, retinoids, peptides, antioxidants, and daily sun protection. DOC BERGER EFFECT was developed by Dr. Luise Berger (49), a specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery who deals daily with the changes in mature skin and knows from her own experience what really matters.

Generally, yes. Especially at the beginning, many customers initially combine our products with their previous skincare. Often, they start with our anti-aging serums, while a cleanser or cream from another brand is still used. This is completely understandable – after all, not everyone wants to change their entire routine at once.

In the long term, however, we recommend gradually switching to a coordinated DOC BERGER EFFECT system. Our formulations work with highly concentrated active ingredients and are partly based on phosphatidylcholine, a skin-identical lipid that supports the absorption and distribution of active ingredients in the skin. It is considered a "transport molecule" in skincare.

DOC BERGER EFFECT consistently avoids critically discussed or potentially irritating additives. Other brands do not always follow the same quality and formulation standards. Since phosphatidylcholine cannot distinguish between good and bad ingredients, combining it with products containing irritating or critically discussed ingredients can amplify their negative effects. Therefore, we recommend starting with individual DOC BERGER EFFECT products and then gradually replacing the existing routine with an optimally coordinated DOC BERGER EFFECT system to fully exploit the potential of the active ingredients.
