Dr. Barbara Sturm

As a renowned aesthetics doctor in her native Germany, the eponymous Barbara knows all about creating uncomplicated – yet exceptionally effective – skincare regimens. From the start, her career was one marked by bold, original thinking. The 'Kobe Procedure', for instance – named after the late NBA star – pioneered the use of the patient's own blood cells to rapidly accelerate the healing process.

Innovative ingredient science is at the heart of everything she and the brand does, with each individual remedy specifically chosen for its proven properties and superior clinical efficacy.

The result? Hydration, nutrition, regeneration and glow, all wrapped up in one super-powered blend. And, better still, no toxic, harmful or aggressive ingredients anywhere within the range, meaning that they're all as safe and healthy as they are skin-boosting.

At every stage, Dr. Barbara Sturm has striven to challenge both overly aggressive methods and staid conventional wisdom.

Why We Like Dr. Barbara Sturm

"Just like the good doctor herself, Dr. Barbara Sturm is a brand that boasts no shortage of pedigree. That, of course, wouldn’t be reason alone for us to embrace it, so it’s just as well that the range delivers on the promise implied by its background, with each formula centred on innovative skincare science that triggers a brilliantly transformative effect on complexions."
