Mareile Höppner x DOC BERGER EFFECT
As a journalist, TV host, and working mom, Mareile Höppner knows how demanding everyday life can be—and how important it is not to lose sight of herself in the process. Especially after 40, when your skin and body begin to change and issues like perimenopause and menopause come into focus, she doesn’t rely on short-term trends or the pursuit of perfection, but rather on a mindful, preventive approach to her skin care. After all, real change doesn’t happen overnight—it comes from the many small decisions you make for yourself, day after day.
“We can’t stop ourselves from getting older. But we can control how we feel and look as we do.”
— Mareile Höppner
That’s exactly why DOC BERGER EFFECT is such a great fit for her: scientifically backed skincare for women who want to keep their skin healthy and resilient over the long term—while staying true to themselves.
Mareile Höppner x DOC BERGER EFFECT
Mareile's Curated Skincare Routine
Many of us juggle a wide variety of tasks every day: family, work, friendships, travel, sports, and the expectations we place on ourselves. That’s exactly why a skincare routine needs to be, above all, one thing: simple, reliable, and efficient.
Mareile's Absolute Must-Haves
Firming
Plenty of sun, plenty of facial expressions—all of this takes a toll on the skin. With 20% vitamin C, this serum helps promote a more even complexion. At the same time, spilanthol—also known as “Biobotox”—smooths out fine expression lines and creates a more relaxed facial appearance. No wonder this serum has been part of Mareile’s morning routine for years.
Refreshing
Just as important as your morning coffee: the viral Glowing Eye Patches. With a carefully balanced blend of active ingredients—including caffeine, collagen, aloe vera, and green tea—they provide a cooling, decongesting, and intensely moisturizing effect in just a few minutes. What makes them special: Thanks to their innovative hydrogel technology, they stay exactly where they’re supposed to.
Complete Her Routine
Fortifying
A blend of collagen for intense hydration and innovative collagen boosters that help restore the skin’s natural collagen production.
Protective
2-in-1 day cream and sunscreen with a light, luxurious texture. Strengthens the skin barrier and protects with SPF 50+ as well as advanced blue light and infrared filters.
Regenerating
For maximum nourishment and a smooth, supple feel in the morning—for women for whom a regular night cream was simply never enough.
Refining
Award-winning retinol serum — supports cell renewal, refines pores, and improves skin texture, while being highly tolerable.
For women who no longer want to take tests at random
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 wrinkled.
DOC BERGER EFFECT is made for women who want to leave all that behind. Women who are done with trial and error—and instead rely on a targeted, well-thought-out formula of active ingredients.

Mareile's Skincare for Women Over 40 & During Menopause
Starting at age 40, the skin’s needs change. It loses moisture more quickly, develops fine lines more easily, reacts more sensitively to stress, lack of sleep, and hormonal changes, and requires more targeted care than before. A simple, standard cream is no longer enough.
For Mareile Höppner, however, this doesn’t mean fighting against aging. Rather, it means consciously supporting the skin—with a tailored, well-thought-out Doc Berger system in which every step works in harmony with the others: from cleansing to highly concentrated active ingredient serums to eye care, day cream, and night cream. The result is a routine that supports the skin over the long term, strengthens its natural functions, and gives it exactly what it truly needs at this stage of life.
For a more relaxed facial appearance and fewer wrinkles—all without injections.
To protect the skin from oxidative stress and inflammation.
For refined pores and more even-toned skin — THE anti-aging staple.
Still often underestimated, but crucial: daily protection against photoaging.
For greater firmness and elasticity. But not all collagen is created equal!
Because dry, tight skin is often the first major concern for people in their 40s and 50s.

You've already tried enough.
DOC BERGER EFFECT
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.
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 introduced gradually 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.
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 be consistent. We recommend setting aside at least 2–3 months.
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.
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.
DOC BERGER EFFECT Routine
Consistency beats perfection. Just like in sports, beautiful skin doesn't happen overnight—it comes from small habits you stick to every day. Two minutes in the morning. Two minutes in the evening.
After all, you only have this one skin—for your entire life. The most important investment is the one you make in yourself.
