Retinol in the Big TV Test: taff, Frühstücksfernsehen, taff weekend – Which Retinol Serum Is the Test Winner?

Go directly to taff

Our DOC.BERGER | EFFECT Retinol Serum was featured in one of the biggest beauty tests of the year – and across three major TV shows:

  • taff: Retinol Serum

  • SAT.1 Frühstücksfernsehen (Sunday Morning Show): Retinol Serum

  • taff weekend: Retinol Serum

The test series "Luxury Brand vs. Drugstore: Which Beauty Products Are Better?" examined whether affordable drugstore retinol serums could compete with a premium retinol product.

The verdict?
The results from professional skin analyses and visible improvements revealed a clear winner.

1. taff Retinol Comparison: Can Affordable Retinol Serums Keep Up?

In the large taff retinol product test, two retinol serums were tested over several months — one from a drugstore and our premium DOC.BERGER | EFFECT Retinol Serum.

Results for the drugstore alternative:

  • No significant improvement in skin texture

  • Low concentration of retinol

  • Contained unnecessary additives

  • Neither the professional skin analysis nor the naked eye detected any improvements

These findings from the taff/taff weekend/Frühstücksfernsehen retinol comparison clearly confirm: the quality, purity, and concentration of the ingredients are crucial.

2. DOC.BERGER | EFFECT Retinol Serum: Test Results at a Glance

The results of the taff retinol test showed a significant improvement in skin quality with our serum:

  • Smoother, refined skin texture

  • Measurable reduction of wrinkles and fine lines

  • Lightening of pigmentation spots and a more even skin tone

  • Optimal absorption thanks to skin-identical lipids

  • Nourishing ingredients without added fragrances

No therapeutic claims – results may vary. This example reflects an individual experience.

3. taff Retinol Test: Why Is Retinol So Effective?

Retinol (Vitamin A) is one of the few active ingredients whose anti-aging effects have been scientifically proven.

Key benefits of retinol:

  • Stimulates collagen production – for firmer skin

  • Accelerates cell renewal – reduces fine lines

  • Regulates sebum production – for clearer skin

  • Reduces pigmentation spots and scars – for a more even complexion

Thanks to the innovative formulation of DOC.BERGER | EFFECT, retinol can fully unfold its effects without unnecessary irritation.

4. taff Weekend Retinol Test: How to Use Retinol Properly

Application tips for maximum results:

  • Start slowly: Apply every other evening during the first few weeks

  • Increase gradually: Once the skin has adjusted, apply daily and increase the amount from 1 pump to 2–3 pumps

  • Use consistently: First visible improvements appear after several weeks; maximum effects after at least 3 months

  • Always combine with sun protection: Retinol makes the skin more sensitive to UV radiation – always use sun protection during the day, such as our Anti-Pollution Day Cream with SPF 37 and blue light filter

No therapeutic claims – results may vary. This example reflects an individual experience.
