Dr. Barbara Sturm has some of the best products that penetrate and maintain your skin for a youthful and dewy look on a molecular level. In case you didn’t know, Sturm is a German aesthetics doctor, widely renowned for her anti-inflammatory philosophy in skincare. I’ve gathered my favs that are tried and tested to give you an introduction to the brand’s quality products.

Anti Pollution Drops $50

When I was first introduced to Dr. Barbara Sturm products I loved how light and airy they were. The line felt super clean and nourishing and never irritated my sensitive skin. The Anti-Pollution Drops contain a Skin Protect Complex with extracts derived from Marine Microorganisms that strengthen your skin’s barrier as well as protect against the harsh pollutants in the environment that lead to dry skin, aging, and fine lines. Not that aging is bad, there’s just nothing wrong with preserving and hydrating your skin. We don’t realize how harsh our surroundings are inside and outside our homes. A few drops of this cocoa seed extract formula helps to protect and reduce damage. Find it here for $50.

Face Cream Rich $80

As Nene Leakes once said, “I’m rich b****.” We couldn’t agree more. One dollop of Face Cream Rich and you’ll be saying the same. This formula is super thick and hydrating yet it blends in easy as Purslane soothes your skin and strengthens your skin membrane against free radicals. The formula includes extracts of Magnolia and Enantia Chlorantha (African Whitewood) Bark that refines your pores, reduces sebum flow, and supplies intensive moisture. You can use this as a day cream or a night cream. This formula is a richer version of Dr. Barabara Sturm’s Face Cream and they even have Face Cream Light. Snag some self-love with Face Cream Rich here for $80.

Darker Skin Tones Face Cream 

Sturm also has a formula for those poppin’ that melanin called Darker Skin Tones with radiance-boosting Lumicol, which comes from Microalgae, evens out your skin tone, and gives a fresh and even glow. A little goes a long way.

Cleanser

Dr. Barbara Sturm carries a wide range of cleansers for all skin types. Cleanser foams up to get rid of all of your makeup and impurities to prep your skin for your beauty steps including moisturizer and serums. What it doesn’t do is mess up your pH balance or irritate your skin’s natural barrier. No more stripping your skin. This formula includes Purlane which soothes and moisturizes and has Aloe Vera to repair and hydrate dry and damaged skin. Find it here for $22. I’ve also tried the Eye Cream, Enzyme Cleanser, Facial Scrub, and Glow Drops and loved all the results.

Calming Serum

Last but not least, keep calm and carry on with Sturm’s Calming Serum. Again, don’t be heavy-handed as a few drops will soothe your complexion and vamp up your skin’s natural defenses so you do more glowing and less red and inflamed reactions. This serum includes Purslane, Cardiospermum, Echium, and Sunflower Extract which is what calms your skin down and reduces flare-ups. Purchase it here for $90. One bottle can last months especially if you keep your products in a mini beauty fridge.
