While Amazon Prime Day is happening now, some of the best deals are quietly available at other retailers. One of the best beauty markdowns we’ve seen this month comes courtesy of Nordstrom, where you can save a whopping 50 percent off of the Augustinus Bader Rejuvenating Eye Kit, a luxurious two-step system for tired eyes.
Augustinus Bader skin care products almost never go on sale — the iconic beauty brand is beloved by celebrities like Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston and its Rich Cream often graces the faces of stars like Kim Kardashian for red carpet appearances. Each of the brand’s formulas contain a patented complex called TFC8 that improves skin’s firmness, bounce, and texture over time. The Nordstrom-exclusive kit that’s currently on sale is solely focused on enhancing the eye area with two products: The Eye Cream and The Eye Patches.
The Augustinus Bader Eye Cream is packed with a complex of amino acids and vitamin C that bolster the skin with free radical-foraging antioxidants. The cream also contains vitamin B5, which conditions the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines. As for The Eye Patches, they’re packed with hyaluronic acid that draws moisture into the skin to subtly plump fine lines. They also contain niacinamide, an ingredient that also boosts hydration with the added benefit of brightening dark circles over time.
For an eye-reviving treatment at home, start with The Eye Patches on clean, dry skin. After 20 minutes, peel them away and follow up with The Eye Cream — the moisturizer will help to seal in excess serum from the under-eye patches while doubling down on moisture.

Our editors have tried this combination at home with great results. “This two-step eye treatment is a new favorite for tackling dark circles and puffiness,” says WWD Shop Senior Beauty and Lifestyle Commerce Editor Claire Sullivan. “I like to store the eye patches in the fridge to maximize their depuffing power, then for an added self care moment, I’ll use a jade roller to lightly sweep from the inner corners of my eyes out towards my ears. Augustinus Bader’s The Eye Cream has been a longtime favorite of mine; combining it with those patches in a mini facial routine makes a huge difference in the look of my dark circles and under-eye bags.”
The Augustinus Bader Rejuvenating Eye Kit is the perfect gift for anyone in your life who loves skin care, be it a gift for your mom, wife, or any woman in your life. Nordstrom deals are known to sell out quickly, so don’t hesitate to add this self care gift to your cart now.
