While you shouldn’t feel the need to overhaul your entire skincare routine each time a new trend becomes the talk of the town, keeping an eye on the latest skincare trends is still a good idea. From new industry knowledge to innovative ideas, understanding which skincare trends are dominating, as well as why, will give you the tools that you’ll need to tweak your routine in a way that makes it all the more effective.
Wondering what the future holds for the world of skincare, along with your own complexion? Read on as Introstem shares the most game-changing skincare trends that you need to know about.
Skin Longevity
For quite a while now, ‘anti-aging’ has been a big skincare buzzword. People have put so much focus into trying to repair the appearance of skin aging to turn back time for their complexions.
Now, however, anti-aging has been cast aside in favor of skin longevity. The concept is similar – keeping your skin looking as youthful as possible. However, rather than placing attention on ‘fixing’ problems, this trend is all about promoting healthier-looking skin from the get-go.
How? By opting for ingredients that offer ‘lifelong’ benefits, in the sense that they’ll see your skin through whatever visible concerns may arise. Think peptides, sodium hyaluronate, and antioxidants, all of which can be found in the Introstem EmberCell Collection!
Skin Twinning
Have you heard of skin twinning? This is one of the skincare trends that has really taken 2025 by storm. It’s an approach that focuses on using products containing ingredients that are highly compatible with the skin, whether this is due to the skin already naturally containing those compounds or to how similar those ingredients are to the skin on a molecular level. The reasoning behind this is that the skin will be more receptive to such ingredients. This then means that the skin is more likely to happily drink them up, giving you even better results!
Some of the best skin twinning ingredients out there are:
- Peptides
- Amino acids
- Aloe vera
- Jojoba seed oil
- Hyaluronic acid
- Glycerin
You’ll find all of the above in the Introstem Aqua Face and Neck Cream – a lush formula that will take care of all of your moisturizing needs!
Streamlining Continues
The simplification of skincare has been a trend for a few seasons now. More and more people are recognizing that a long and complex skincare routine often only harms the skin’s natural protective barrier, causing even more problems in the long run.
Interestingly, while some experts thought that this trend would quickly die down, that hasn’t been the case. Instead, there’s still a big emphasis on keeping skincare simple, and consumers have been taking note.
If you’re still following a 10-step routine twice a day, this is a trend worth trying. Seek out multi-tasking formulas that are able to perform the role of multiple products. The Introstem PrismaStem Face Shield Cream SPF 30 is the perfect example. It’s an incredible antioxidant-rich moisturizer that does away with the need for a separate sunscreen, turning two steps of your skincare routine into one.
Weightless Hydration
It’s no secret that hydration is one of the keys to healthy-looking skin. Without adequate moisture, every single one of your skin’s functions will suffer.
While lightweight hydration always takes center stage in the spring and summer months, this year sees things taken even further. Consumers are seeking out completely weightless hydrating products – formulas that quickly quench and plump up the complexion without being felt on the skin.
This isn’t an easy equilibrium to achieve, yet the String Lift Sculpting System manages to do so perfectly. This formula melds together six different forms of hyaluronic acid, while also incorporating several moisture-locking ingredients to provide long-lasting hydration.
The Biotech Buzz
Sustainability is another one of the skincare trends that has dominated in recent years. It started with people favoring natural ingredients over synthetic ones. However, this soon brought growing and harvesting methods to the forefront, showing that natural doesn’t always mean sustainable and eco-friendly.
Enter biotech, which involves creating lab-produced ingredients that are completely identical to their natural counterparts. Again, this is nothing new – biotech has been around for decades. Hyaluronic acid, for example, used to come from the combs of roosters but is now mostly produced in a lab. However, with all of the innovation that abounds, you can expect to see biotech progress in leaps and bounds in the upcoming months.
Next-Level Face Mists
Face mists always become more popular as the weather turns warmer. However, brands selling these products have noticed a huge jump in sales lately, especially when it comes to their face mist formulas that offer more than just hydration. Sure, on-the-go hydration is one of the main reasons people use a face mist, but with multi-tasking products also being one of the big skincare trends for the year, it only makes sense to seek out face mists that do more than just ‘mist’ your skin!
Case in point, the Collagen Plumping Mist from the Collagen Cooling Set Limited Edition. Like all face mists, this one is brimming with hydrating ingredients. However, it also contains several ingredients that will work to leave your skin looking smoother, brighter, and younger. From niacinamide to grape seed extract, this is a mist worth adding to your summer skincare arsenal.
Skincare Superfruits
Each year usually sees new skincare ingredients take the spotlight. This year, superfruits have centerstage. They’ve received plenty of attention when it comes to diet, purely because of how rich in antioxidants these fruits are. However, more and more people are now seeking out topical products containing superfruits too as these are a great way for your skin to directly benefit from all of those potent antioxidants.
You’ll find superfruits featured in several Introstem products. However, nothing quite compares to how they’re so densely packed into the Introstem PrismaStem Midnight Recovery Mask. You’ll find a long list of superfruit extracts in this leave-on mask, including:
- Noni
- Pomegranate
- Maqui
- Goji berry
- Mangosteen
- Acai berry
- Chokeberry
- Bilberry
If you’ve been looking for a way to increase the antioxidant content of your skincare routine, superfruits are a great way to do just that!
The Body Care Boom
Take a look at some of the skincare trends from the last couple of years and you’ll see that the ‘skinification’ of body care was a big one. This essentially saw body care products being upgraded to incorporate higher-potency ingredients.
Thankfully, this skincare trend isn’t going anywhere for a while. In fact, the body care market has recently experienced a big boom, with more and more people paying attention to the skin on their bodies.
If your body care routine could do with a boost, consider some of the body care products from Introstem. The VitisCell Exfoliating Scrub and the VitisCell Body Butter are both infused with grape stem cells. You’ll be able to pamper your body with some of the most powerful antioxidants around!
AI Beauty Advisers
No discussion of skincare trends would be complete without mentioning AI. It has infiltrated its way into just about every industry lately, and skincare is no exception.
While AI is playing an increasing role in the industry, it’s still considered to be in its infancy. However, one area where it’s really making waves is when it comes to beauty advice and consulting.
With the use of AI, people are now able to receive detailed information on what their skin needs. Much of the AI tech out there will also recommend suitable products for meeting those needs, making shopping for skincare a whole lot easier!
Skin Cycling Returns
Skin cycling is another one of those skincare trends that have made a quick comeback. However, unlike many of the trends out there that make dermatologists cringe, skin cycling is one that they wholeheartedly support.
What is it? This trend encompasses a four-night cycle, where you rotate the use of different ingredients each night. Night one is when you exfoliate, night two is when you use a retinoid, and nights three and four are all about supporting your skin’s renewal and recovery processes.
Why would you want to do this? Because it significantly minimizes irritation. It gives you a chance to benefit from various active ingredients while still keeping your skin barrier feeling strong and healthy.
Anti-Stress Skincare
Struggling with stress? If your answer is yes, there’s a good chance that this is being reflected in your skin too. The good news? Anti-stress skincare is one of this year’s hottest skincare trends.
Anti-stress skincare takes a variety of forms. The concept is all about turning to skincare in a way that not only de-stresses your mind but also calms your complexion. Products like the VitisCell Hydra Fresh Toner, which contains ingredients that soothe the feeling of inflammation while leaving the skin feeling restored, line up with this trend perfectly. Not only will it keep your complexion balanced, but it will help to balance out your mental health too.
Upgraded Eye Cream Formulas
While some people swear by eye creams, others believe that they’re unnecessary. Sure, not everyone needs an eye cream, but with the way in which eye cream formulas are now being upgraded to hyper-target various visible skin concerns, it’s worth adding one to your routine!
The Introstem VitisCell Radiance Dark Circle Eye Cream is a great example. This formula hones in on the appearance of dark circles, leaving them looking lighter to the point where they’re no longer noticeable. Thanks to a blend of targeted ingredients, including caffeine, vitamin C, resveratrol, and grape stem cells, it gives your eye area access to some of the most powerful ingredients available, yet in a format that won’t cause any problems for the delicate skin around the eyes.
