Susanne Kaufmann

Susanne Kaufmann grew out of a family-run spa hotel in Austria's Bregenzerwald, an Alpine region known for its herbs and forests. That spa heritage shows in how the products feel and in the botanical ingredients they favour. This is European natural skincare, not a Korean K-beauty line, so the textures and step count lean spa-simple rather than the long layered routines you find elsewhere.

If you are coming from a heavily layered regimen, the appeal here is restraint: a few well-made botanical products that do their job without a 10-step ritual.

The line gives you two toners at 250ml. The Soothing Toner is the calmer option for skin that runs sensitive or reactive and wants a gentle reset after cleansing. The Purifying Toner aims at skin that gets congested or oily and benefits from a clarifying step.

Pick by how your skin behaves day to day. Sensitive and dry skin tends to prefer the Soothing Toner; oilier or breakout-prone skin usually does better with the Purifying one. Apply after cleansing and before your mask or moisturiser.

Two cleansers sit in the grid at 100ml. The Soothing Cleansing Milk is a creamy, low-foam cleanser for dry or sensitive skin and gentle makeup removal. The Purifying Cleansing Gel is the fresher, more clarifying wash for combination and oilier skin.

You can match the cleanser to the matching toner: milk plus Soothing Toner for calmer skin, gel plus Purifying Toner for skin that needs more clarity. Both leave skin comfortable rather than tight.

The Enzymed Exfoliator (50ml) uses enzymes to lift dull, dead surface cells without the grit of a physical scrub. Enzyme exfoliation is gentler than scrubbing, which suits sensitive skin and makes it a good fit for the brand's calm approach.

Use it a couple of times a week rather than daily, after cleansing and before your toner or mask. Build up frequency slowly and let your skin tell you how often it wants it.

Two 50ml masks cover different goals. The Glow Mask is the radiance-and-pick-me-up treatment for skin that looks tired or flat. The Moisturizing Mask is the hydration boost for skin that feels dry, tight, or stressed by weather.

Both are leave-on creams you can use weekly or whenever skin needs a reset. Apply after cleansing and exfoliating, leave on for the time on the label, then carry on with your routine.

Susanne Kaufmann is not face-only. The Hyaluron Body Gel (100ml) brings lightweight, hyaluronic-acid hydration to arms, legs, and torso, and the Hand Cream (50ml) handles dry hands. The standout is the Mountain Pine Bath (250ml), a pine-scented bath additive that turns a soak into something closer to an Alpine spa treatment.

These are the products to add if you want the brand's spa feel beyond your face. The Mountain Pine Bath in particular is the kind of ritual item the line is known for.

A straightforward routine: cleanse with the milk or gel, exfoliate with the enzyme exfoliator a couple of times a week, tone with the Soothing or Purifying Toner, treat with a mask when skin asks for it, then moisturise. For the body, the Hyaluron Body Gel after showering and the Mountain Pine Bath when you want to unwind.

The brand rewards a light touch. You do not need every product at once; pick the cleanser and toner that match your skin, add a mask, and grow from there.

Sensitive and dry skin should lean toward the Soothing Cleansing Milk, Soothing Toner, and Moisturizing Mask. Combination and oilier skin tends to prefer the Purifying Cleansing Gel, Purifying Toner, and Glow Mask. The Enzyme Exfoliator and the body products suit most skin types when used at a sensible frequency.

Because the formulas are botanical and gentle, most people can mix face products across the two routes, but the soothing and purifying pairs are the cleanest way to match the line to your skin.

Sizing here is practical: 250ml toners and bath, 100ml cleansers and body gel, 50ml masks and exfoliator. Susanne Kaufmann is a premium natural brand, so a small range of well-chosen products usually gives better value than buying the whole line. Start with a cleanser and toner, then add a mask or the body care.

This is imported European skincare, so check each product's size and purpose against your routine before adding to cart. Natural formulas can have a shorter shelf life once opened, so buy what you will actually use.
