Retinol stick instead of serum – Retinol is the current miracle weapon against skin ageing. It stimulates cell renewal and the production of collagen and elastin. It is responsible for an even complexion, refined pores, and the smoothing of small wrinkles. The anti-ageing hero normally comes in liquid form as a serum. The “Micro-Encapsulated Retinol Stick” from Melumé, a brand that relies on active ingredients in their most bioavailable forms to guarantee effective absorption and availability, is brilliant for on-the-go use.
How does the “Micro-Encapsulated Retinol Stick” work?
The highly concentrated, nourishing serum balm with 10% encapsulated, time-released retinol microspheres, astaxanthin, omega-3,-6,-9-Polyglycerides,, the exclusive Gmod Complex and botanical oils ensures flawless skin.
Thanks to the innovative encapsulation technology, the retinol is released bit by bit, resulting in better efficacy and less irritation. Targeted to areas of the skin that need more attention and nourishing care, the handy stick can be used to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, spots and pores.
What exactly is the Gmod complex?
The G-Complex developed and patented by Melumé is a triple skin-affine power formula made from the patented Melilotus officinalis melilot peptide. It activates growth factors and increases the GDF11 protein level. Dolichos biflorus from plant cell cultures strengthens the anti-inflammatory microflora and glycokines, oligosaccharides from biofermentation, stimulate hyaluronic acid synthesis.
Why is the “Micro-Encapsulated Retinol Stick” so special?
For the experts at Melumé Skinscience, highly concentrated active ingredients for application to the skin’s surface and prolonging their effect are an essential part of product development. In their formulations, they use intelligent active ingredient delivery systems such as encapsulations, microspheres and liposome systems that extend bioavailability, deliver the active ingredients to their precise target and to the exact depth of the skin, thus intensifying their effectiveness.
“Micro-Encapsulated Retinol Stick” – the ideal companion for on the go
Carrying a serum with you in your handbag can be precarious. The cap comes loose and the valuable liquid spreads over the contents of your bag. The stick in its solid form is therefore perfect for quick care on the go.
I often travel by train or plane, so the “Micro-Encapsulated Retinol Stick” is now a reliable companion. I always apply it in a circular motion to the laugh lines, lip lines and cheeks – an uncomplicated and non-messy booster to my skin that instantly smoothes out, visibly rejuvenates and moisturizes the skin.

My curriculum vitae is as colorful as the world. I was editor at ELLE, tested cars and participated at off-road tours. I lived on a small island in Florida for twelve years and from there I travelled the Caribbean and almost all states of the USA for various magazines, conducted interviews with interesting people, reported on beautiful homes and exotic travel destinations. After my return to Germany I worked for InStyle magazine for 14 years in various positions. And it was there that I first came into contact with the topic of beauty. To this day I still enjoy immersing myself in the fine cosmos of creams, perfumes and lipsticks. (photo: Thomas Dilge)
Retinol has long been considered state-of-the-art in anti-aging skin care. There is hardly a skincare series today that does not include a retinol product. Why? Because it is a substance that has been well researched due to its decades-long use in acne therapy, and exerts many positive effects on the skin: Reduces the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles. Retinol helps reduce skin blemishes, resulting in clear, smooth and even skin. It also optimizes the skin microbiome by blocking unwanted bacteria. Acne scars and hyperpigmentation lose their conspicuousness. Last but not least, retinol also improves moisture balance, making the complexion plumper and more radiant.
In the meantime, however, there are so many new retinol products on the market that it is hard to know which one to choose. It is not only a question of quality, but also of the wallet. Therefore, I decided to test three products from different price categories:
Luxury: „The Retinol Serum with TFC8“ from Augustinus Bader
Professor Augustinus Bader now has a whole range of products on the market. The latest addition is a retinol serum into which the research physician has again incorporated his patented TFC8 complex. To this he combines pure, therapeutic retinol – which is known to gently but effectively accelerate cell renewal. The redness that otherwise so often occurs is absent here.
The formula is complemented by a microbiome mix that supports a healthy skin microbiome, and Marine Ectoine acts as a deep moisturizer. A zinc complex helps regulate sebum production, while Japanese knotweed extract tracks skin enzyme activity for cleaner, smoother skin as well.
“Together, the formula optimizes the body’s natural ability to repair itself for skin that is measurably refined and renewed, without discomfort or redness,” says Professor Bader.
The formulation of the light serum is so gentle that you can use the product in the morning and evening. Always apply naturally on cleansed skin and also spread on neck and décolleté. The milky yellowish color is not a defect in the product, but typical of vitamin A. Vitamin A, by the way, is the generic term for a group of fat-soluble substances to which retinol also belongs. The dispenser in the typical Bader blue-bronze design is not only visually appealing and very high quality. The serum is also very economical, which may somewhat compensate for the high price.

To travel during my profession as a beauty journalist was never enough for my. Also my six month on a world trip didn’t do it. It always attracts me to other cities, foreign countries, on roadtrips and places I don’t know yet. But I am not only interested in “culture” and “cream”, I am also fascinated by people who have stories to tell . Such unique experiences I want to share with you.
