Imagine a skincare brand so precise, so scientifically obsessed,
that they seal their most potent serums in tiny glass vials just to keep the ingredients fresh for the exact moment they touch your skin. Now, imagine that same German engineering applied to the humidity, the heat, and the air-conditioned dryness of Singapore.
If you have been hunting for that elusive "glass skin" glow but find most heavy creams just slide off your face in our tropical weather, stop scrolling. You are looking for BABOR.
For years (since 1956), this heritage German brand was the best-kept secret of European spa-goers. But the big question for us in the Lion City has always been: Is it actually here? Or do we have to haul it back from a holiday in Munich?
The answer is YES. BABOR is in Singapore, and for women in their 30s, 40s, and beyond, it might just be the skincare investment your skin is begging for. Here is why this brand is quietly taking over the dressing tables of those in the know—and exactly where you can find it.
Why BABOR Hits Different in the Tropics
If you are between 30 and 60 living in South East Asia, you know the struggle. We want anti-aging power (retinol, peptides, firming), but we cannot deal with thick, greasy textures that clog pores the minute we step into the MRT station.
This is where BABOR’s "Ampoule Concentrates" are a game-changer. They are arguably the brand's most famous invention—2ml glass vials of high-concentration serum that feel like water but work like magic. Because they are so lightweight, they penetrate instantly without the sticky residue.
How Many Collections Are There?
With more than sixty years in the beauty industry, BABOR Skincare is a brand many are already familiar with. But for those new to the range, we have put together a guide:
DOCTOR BABOR
Germany is known for adhering to strict protection and consistency parameters, so before they hit the beauty counter, items must tick a lot of boxes. The "Made in Germany" mark is now a sign of the highest quality, particularly in the skincare industry. Natural and highly efficient, highly active ingredients are used for these precision cosmetics, which are grown and manufactured in Germany by BABOR. DOCTOR BABOR collection is a tribute to Dr. Michael Babor and in line with his motto. Its products reflect a synergy between cosmetics and medicine. Click >> for the DOCTOR BABOR Collection

BABOR was the pioneer in engineering ampoule bottles, influenced by medical vials. The 7-day intensive treatment contains highly concentrated ingredients sealed in glass vials providing a specially protected environment.

BABOR CLEANSING
Any skincare routine begins with cleansing. Skin cleansing is one of the first steps to skin care and therefore, it should be performed properly. In fact, BABOR has dedicated an entire range of its skincare line just for this! Their CLEANSING Line uses the unique bi-phase cleansing method to thoroughly cleanse the skin in two successive steps. First, consists of the application of HY-Öl to remove make-up and impurities that have accumulated during the day. In the second step, the PHYTOACTIVE phase is applied to deep cleanse the skin and clarify the complexion. Click >> for the BABOR Cleansing Collection
BABOR HSR LIFTING
Aging is a process that elicits mixed emotions. Some signs appear in subtlety, while others demand grave attention. For the most part, early monitoring with topical treatments is the first line of all-natural defence. HSR Lifting range is an anti-wrinkle and anti-aging line suitable for all skin types. It counteracts the most significant causes of the development of wrinkles: the reduction of volume and elasticity, the deceleration of the metabolism of the skin and the hardening of the dermal matrix.

BABOR SKINOVAGE
The SKINOVAGE range is their premium skincare system that is individually customized by an epigenetic process to give the skin exactly what it wants. Epigenetics is a wide field of science that belongs to biotechnology. EpigenTech Power Peptide has been formulated as the key active ingredient in the BABOR SKINOVAGE range. The chosen active formulations, which always take account of the differing skin requirements, compensate for natural flaws in the skin and reactivates the mechanism of the skin itself. It is particularly excellent for tired skin in need of immediate regeneration. Click >> for the BABOR Skinovage Collection

I HAVE ALLERGY CONCERNS!
When changing or introducing new products to your skincare regimen, it is normal to feel apprehensive, especially if you have sensitive skin. While many skin care business touts themselves as organic, not all can guarantee gentleness and efficacy. Even formulas derived solely from natural ingredients can cause hypersensitivity reactions when they are not formulated for optimal PH. In addition, not all-natural brands are tested by medical professionals during R&D and are fine-tuned to ensure that they are safe. Natural ingredients that are subjected to years of scientific study are used in BABOR products. At BABOR, a team of dermatologists, biochemists, and physicians ensure that all products can deliver effective results with high skin tolerance.
