June 30, 2026 – Dr. Luise Berger

For over 30 years, Katja Burkard has been one of Germany’s most recognizable TV personalities. As the host of RTL Punkt 12 , she guides millions of viewers through their lunchtime every day—and captivates them not only with her friendly and knowledgeable manner, but also with her fresh, natural appearance.

Time and again, people ask themselves:

  • How does Katja Burkard stay so young?
  • What skincare products does Katja Burkard use?
  • Is Katja Burkard just as beautiful without makeup?
  • Does Katja Burkard have Botox?
  • What beauty treatments does Katja Burkard offer?

These questions are among the most frequently searched beauty topics related to the host.

We are all the more pleased that Katja Burkard trusts DOC BERGER EFFECT and is very open about topics such as skin aging, menopause, and even Botox.

About Katja Burkard

Katja Burkard was born on April 21, 1965, and has been one of Germany's best-known TV hosts for decades. After studying German language and literature and political science, she began her journalism career at RTL and has been successfully hosting the show *Punkt 12* since 1997.

In addition to her television career, Katja Burkard is committed to social issues and publicly advocates for an open approach to aging. Through her books on menopause and life after 60, she aims to encourage women to age with confidence and, at the same time, not to feel the need to justify taking steps to improve their own well-being.

In her personal life, she has been living with her partner, Hans Mahr, for many years and is the mother of two daughters.

Katja Burkard showcases the DOC BERGER EFFECT Four Seasons Day Cream SPF 50+ and the Vitamin C + Spilanthol Serum as part of a daily skincare routine for radiant skin, UV protection, and effective anti-aging.

Why Katja Burkard Looks So Young

Anyone who watches Katja Burkard on TV regularly often asks themselves the same question:

How does she manage to look so fresh and natural at over 60?

The answer lies not in a single secret, but in the combination of:

  • a consistent skincare routine (including Vitamin C + Spilanthol Serum, Four Seasons Day Cream, and Glowing Eye Patches by DOC BERGER EFFECT)
  • healthy eating
  • regular exercise
  • enough sleep
  • Sun Protection
  • modern aesthetic treatments
  • positive outlook on life

People who appear in front of high-resolution cameras every day know just how important it is to have well-cared-for skin.

What skincare products does Katja Burkard use?

Anyone who appears on camera every day needs a skincare regimen that works reliably while also supporting long-term skin health. Katja Burkard relies on a scientifically developed routine from DOC BERGER EFFECT that combines immediate results with long-lasting anti-aging care.

Katja's skincare routine includes:

  • Vitamin C + Spilanthol Serum – for antioxidant protection, a radiant complexion, and reduced expression lines
  • Collagen Serum – provides intense hydration and helps promote plumper, smoother skin.
  • Four Seasons Day Cream SPF 50+ – protects the skin daily from UV rays, one of the main causes of premature skin aging, while also moisturizing it.
  • Glowing Eye Patches – nourish the eye area with active ingredients such as collagen, caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and Centella asiatica, and help you look fresh and alert, especially before TV appearances or long workdays.

Especially during and after menopause, the skin undergoes significant changes: It loses moisture more quickly, becomes thinner, and may lose elasticity. A consistent, high-quality skincare routine helps specifically counteract these changes and keep the skin healthy and radiant in the long term. While high-quality formulations cost far more than drugstore cosmetics, they offer more potent and higher-concentration active ingredients that deliver more satisfying results. Investing in your skin means investing in your largest organ—and often in better skin health and greater self-confidence. 

Does Katja Burkard have Botox?

Yes. Katja Burkard speaks exceptionally openly about Botox and makes no secret of it. She has stated publicly on several occasions that she has her frown lines and forehead treated with Botox and does so deliberately for her own personal well-being. At the same time, she emphasizes that every woman should decide for herself whether she wants to undergo cosmetic treatments.

Dr. Luise Berger also follows this very philosophy. It’s not about changing faces, but about preserving a person’s natural radiance and providing each patient with personalized advice. Everyone should choose the path that makes them feel comfortable—whether that means avoiding aesthetic treatments altogether, relying solely on high-quality skincare, or opting for a holistic combination of modern active-ingredient cosmetics and minimally invasive treatments such as Botox, hyaluronic acid, or collagen boosters.

DOC BERGER EFFECT was therefore developed for all women: for those who want to care for their skin exclusively with scientifically formulated active-ingredient cosmetics, as well as for women who use their skincare routine as the ideal complement to aesthetic treatments. After all, beautiful skin doesn’t start at the clinic—it begins, above all, with daily care at home. 

Katja Burkard presents the DOC BERGER EFFECT Four Seasons Day Cream SPF 50+ and the Vitamin C + Spilanthol Serum for daily sun protection, anti-aging, and modern medical skincare.

Katja Burkard on Menopause: Aging Naturally—Without Fear

Katja Burkard has been speaking openly about menopause for several years and wants to encourage women to view this stage of life not as a flaw, but as a completely natural part of life. Through her books, interviews, and television appearances, she is committed to breaking the taboo surrounding the topic and showing women that attractiveness, charisma, and a zest for life do not depend on age.

She repeatedly emphasizes that it’s not about obsessively wanting to look young. It’s much more important to feel good about yourself and to make a conscious effort to take care of your health and skin. That’s exactly why she uses DOC BERGER EFFECT. Our goal isn’t to stop aging, but to help the skin stay healthy, radiant, and well-cared-for for as long as possible.

After all, skincare isn't a matter of age—it's a matter of self-respect.

Katja Burkard Without Makeup

Time and again, Katja Burkard also posts photos without makeup or deliberately shows herself looking natural. This is precisely what highlights how important healthy skin is as the foundation of any radiant appearance. Well-cared-for skin requires significantly less makeup and looks fresh and even without foundation.
