Dua Lipa launches DUA, a skincare line created with Augustinus Bader

By Aude Boissou.

Earlier this November, the British pop queen made a splash in the beauty world with DUA, a simple, effective and high-performance facial skincare line. The collection was conceived and developed hand in hand with Professor Augustinus Bader, the undisputed leader in skin science and pioneer in regenerative skincare.

Why is Dua Lipa making her own beauty routine?

Behind the spotlights and global tours, the award-winning singer has long nurtured a quiet passion for skincare. Her decision to create her own line was driven by the desire to craft a routine that reflects her own philosophy – simple, effective, and genuinely effective. Aa a devoted user of Augustinus Bader products for years, Dua Lipa says she has witnessed firsthand the visible benefits of the brand’s TFC technology on the quality and adaptability of her skin.

This sparked the idea of making that approach more accessible and intuitive through a line of three essential skincare products designed for everyday use. The brand DUA champions clean, responsible, vegan and cruelty-free formulas – fragrance, parabens, sulfates, silicones and gluten free – tested on sensitive skin and designed to address her generation’s main concerns, while simplifying the daily routine.

“The DUA line represents the perfect fusion of science and creative flair. We are thrilled to make our proprietary TFC technology accessible to an even wider community, born of our collaboration with Dua Lipa.” — Charles Rosier, CEO and co-founder of Augustinus Bader

What is TFC5?

Both TFC5 and TFC8 technologies are based on the same foundational principle, the “Trigger Factor Complex” (TFC) developed by Professor Bader over the past thirty-five years. This complex works by supporting cellular communication to enhance the skin’s natural regenerative processes. Simply put, it helps the skin activate its own regeneration.

TFC8 is the more concentrated version and therefore the most reparative, formulated to correct, regenerate and deliver intensive renewal. By contrast, TFC5 is designed to be gentler and more preventative. Its goal is to maintain skin health, strengthen the skin barrier and prevent early signs of aging without overstimulating the epidermis. Better safe than sorry!

The DUA line is built around this latter technology, specially developed for Dua Lipa. The aim was to meet the needs of young skins showing light to moderate signs of damage. The TFC5 complex combines biomimetic peptides, essential nutrients and antioxidants that mimic the skin’s natural defense and repair mechanisms.

DUA: An effortless and effective skincare routine

What sets DUA apart is its simplicity. Three essential products designed to work together and meet the skin’s needs from morning to night.

“I wanted products I could take with me everywhere, at the hotel, on the road, on stage…” — Dua Lipa

Step one: The Balancing Cream Cleanser

Infused with prebiotics, a biolipid complex, tsubaki oil and chlorella algae extract, this gentle cream-to-foam cleanser is the first step in the routine. It effectively removes makeup, pollution and excess sebum without stripping the skin. With a formula that respects the skin’s natural hydration, it also refines skin texture while maintaining comfort and softness.

For a radiant glow: The Supercharged Glow Complex

This multi-action serum, formulated with marine bio-retinol, vitamin B7 and niacinamide, smooths fine lines, improves skin firmness and evens out the complexion by visibly reducing post-acne marks and pigmentation spots. Its strength lies in delivering the benefits of potent actives without causing irritation or sensitivity.

“It instantly helps my skin, even after a long day or a short night.” — Dua Lipa

To complete the ritual: The Renewal Cream

Light, yet deeply hydrating, this cream offers lasting comfort. It delivers long-lasting hydration, smooths skin texture and brightens the complexion. With pre- and postbiotics and firming peptides, it reinforces the skin barrier and reduces early signs of aging. Ideal as a makeup base, it leaves skin supple, luminous and shine-free.

“My secret to plump, glowing skin from morning to night.” — Dua Lipa
