Katja Burkard x DOC BERGER EFFECT

Katja Burkard for visibly well-cared-for skin

Katja, 61 years old, embodies natural presence, openness, and a confident approach to aging like few other women. As a well-known RTL host and author, she has been speaking candidly for years about topics such as self-image and menopause—and encourages many women not to hide this stage of life, but to embrace it consciously and confidently.
“What’s so bad about turning 60? Do I have a problem with it? Honestly: NO. Let’s celebrate our age! It’s fantastic to think of everything I’ve already pulled off, accomplished, overcome, endured, and understood up to this point.”
— Katja Burkard

That’s exactly why DOC BERGER EFFECT is the perfect fit for her: This skincare line doesn’t promote artificial perfection. It’s about feeling comfortable in your own skin, reflecting on the outside what you feel on the inside—and keeping your skin healthy and beautiful in the long term.

Katja's Skincare for Women in Their 40s and 50s

Why Skin Has Different Needs After Age 40

As hormonal changes occur and we age, our skin also changes. Studies show that it loses collagen, elasticity, and firmness; it becomes drier and more sensitive, and regenerates more slowly.

Katja also knows that mature skin doesn't just need "more cream" or simply "plenty of moisture." It needs targeted combinations of active ingredients that address various aspects of skin aging simultaneously.

01

Biobotox Peptides

For a more relaxed facial appearance and fewer wrinkles—all without injections.

02

Antioxidants

To protect the skin from oxidative stress and inflammation.

03

Retinoids

For refined pores and more even-toned skin — THE anti-aging staple.

04

Sun Protection

Still often underestimated, but crucial: daily protection against photoaging.

05

Collagen Support

For greater firmness and elasticity. But not all collagen is created equal!

06

Moisture & Skin Barrier

Because dry, tight skin is often the first major concern for people in their 40s and 50s.

For women who no longer want to take tests at random

"I've already tried so many things."

Maybe you’ve already bought creams that felt good but didn’t make a difference. Maybe you’ve tried serums that were all the rage but irritated your skin. Maybe you’ve invested a lot of money in skincare and still feel like your skin is getting drier, duller, and more troubled.

DOC BERGER EFFECT is designed for women who want to leave that behind. Women who are done with trial and error—and instead rely on a carefully designed formula of active ingredients.

DOC BERGER EFFECT

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DOC BERGER EFFECT suitable for people in their 40s and 50s?

Yes. Skin that appears drier, more wrinkled, duller, or less elastic benefits particularly from a consistent skincare routine that includes moisturizers, retinoids, peptides, antioxidants, and daily sun protection.
DOC BERGER EFFECT was developed by Dr. Luise Berger (49), a board-certified specialist in plastic and aesthetic surgery who deals with the changes in mature skin on a daily basis and knows from personal experience what really matters.

Is this skincare product also suitable for sensitive skin?

Yes. DOC BERGER EFFECT consistently avoids many potentially irritating additives such as fragrance, essential oils, dyes, alcohol, parabens, silicones, and microplastics. However, sensitive skin in particular should be gradually introduced to highly concentrated active ingredients—especially ingredients like retinol. To start, we recommend soothing, strengthening products such as the Collagen Serum, the Four Seasons Day Cream, and the Ultra Rich Night Cream to specifically support the skin barrier.

How soon will I see results?

Your skin may feel more nourished and hydrated after just the first few treatments. However, to see visible changes in your skin’s texture, you’ll need to stick with the routine. We recommend setting aside at least 2–3 months.

What's the best way to get started?

The best place to start is with our free online skin analysis. This helps us determine what your skin really needs—and create a holistic, personalized routine that includes cleansing, serum, eye care, and creams. If you’d like to get started right away, we recommend an effective foundation consisting of the Vit C + Spilanthol Serum and the Four Seasons Day Cream.

Can I combine DOC BERGER EFFECT with other brands?

Yes, in principle that’s possible—many people want to use up what they already have first, and we understand that. At the same time, it’s a bit like resolving to lose weight but wanting to finish off the entire candy cabinet first. If you really want to make a change but cling to old habits at the same time, you’ll slow down the process. So even if you start out mixing in other brands, you should gradually build up a coordinated Doc Berger system.
