Elevate Your Routine with the Top Skincare Trends of 2025
The discussion highlights emerging trends and concerns in skincare:
-
PDRN in Skincare: Both Cho and Dr. Turner suggest potential growth in the use of PDRN in Western skincare, but emphasize the need for more research, especially regarding its effectiveness and absorption in topical products.
-
Barrier-Repair Focus: There is a growing emphasis on products that support the skin’s outer layer, with brands like Deinde and Mantle using "barrier-building" terminology. This trend is expected to continue as products aim to address issues like dryness, aging, and sensitivity.
-
Caution Against Overuse: Dr. Hartman advises that while barrier repair is crucial for those with conditions like eczema, not everyone needs these products. Overusing occlusive products could potentially lead to acne or discoloration, possibly fueling future skincare trends focused on treatments for these issues.
- Maintaining Skin Health: Proper skincare routines can impact skin barrier health. Dr. Garshick warns against excessive use of harsh cleansers and active ingredients, which can irritate and disrupt the skin barrier.
These insights reflect a broader trend towards personalized and evidence-based skincare practices.
