2025 Skincare Trends We Love

The skincare world is abuzz with fresh innovations for 2025, and this year’s skincare trends are all about effectiveness, simplicity, and indulgence. From high-tech solutions to luxurious routines, these trends are reshaping how we care for our skin. 

Whether you’re looking to enhance your natural glow, refine your routine, or embrace the latest technology, there’s something for everyone. Let’s dive into the trends we’re loving and why they’re set to dominate your beauty routine.

1. Peptides

2. Premium Bodycare

3. Sleep 

4. Hydrated skin

5. Sunscreen

6. LED Light Therapy

According to Cosmopolitan, peptides are set to be one of the most popular skincare ingredients of 2025, due to it’s collagen-boosting nature. 

If you’re looking to smooth fine lines, boost firmness, and support your skin’s natural repair processes, peptides are your new skincare saviour. These tiny proteins are essential for maintaining a youthful complexion, as they help rebuild collagen and elastin while strengthening the skin barrier. Peptides essentially act as messengers, communicating with your skin to repair damage and rejuvenate.

With age, our natural peptide levels decline, resulting in sagging skin and the formation of wrinkles. This is where peptide-enriched products come into play, providing a targeted solution to restore and revitalise. From addressing wrinkles to brightening dull skin, peptides are the ultimate multitaskers, making them a must-have ingredient for your skincare routine in 2025.

Brands like Medik8 are pioneering peptide technology with innovative formulas tailored to a range of skin concerns:

• Liquid Peptides: A lightweight serum with a powerful peptide complex that visibly smooths fine lines and promotes elasticity.

• Bakuchiol Peptides: A plant-based alternative to retinol that’s perfect for sensitive skin. It smooths texture and evens skin tone without irritation.

• Clarity Peptides: Designed to brighten and calm redness, this serum is ideal for achieving a clear, even complexion.

• Eyelift Peptides: A targeted eye treatment that reduces puffiness and smooths fine lines around the delicate eye area.

Whether you’re new to peptides or looking to upgrade your routine, Medik8’s offerings cater to every skin type and concern, making it easier than ever to incorporate this powerhouse ingredient into your daily routine.

Gone are the days when bodycare was an afterthought. In 2025, the focus is on luxurious, high-performance bodycare that pampers your skin from head to toe. The same ingredients we rely on for radiant, youthful-looking faces—ceramides, antioxidants, and nourishing oils—are now being formulated for the body, elevating the self-care experience.

This trend, coined by Unilever as the “faceification of body care,” reflects a shift in priorities for product development. As Labrecque highlights, bodycare is no longer just about hydration but about delivering targeted, face-grade solutions for concerns like uneven texture, dryness, and loss of firmness.

Two standout products are leading the way in premium bodycare:

• Epionce Enriched Body Cream: Packed with botanical ingredients, this cream deeply hydrates and softens even the driest skin, leaving it smooth, supple, and glowing.

• Medik8 Nourishing Body Cream: Infused with shea butter and natural oils, this restorative cream strengthens the skin barrier and locks in moisture for lasting hydration.

By prioritising bodycare that mirrors the innovation of facial skincare, these products encourage a holistic approach to beauty that feels as indulgent as it is effective.

With the growing emphasis on wellness and rest, beauty sleep has become more than a buzzword - it’s a vital part of your skincare routine. There’s a reason the term ‘Sleepmaxxing’ has gone viral on TikTok! As Aimee of Sculpted by Aimee highlights, this sleep-inspired trend highlights the rising demand for beauty that rejuvenates, refreshes, and delivers an effortlessly radiant glow.

While you sleep, your skin undergoes its natural repair process, making nighttime the perfect opportunity to maximise your skincare efforts. 

Overnight treatments and masks are designed to complement these repair processes, working alongside your body’s natural rhythms to restore and rejuvenate. From exfoliating peels to deeply hydrating masks, these products are quickly becoming essentials for waking up to a fresh, glowing complexion.

Some standout options to elevate your nighttime routine include:

• Medik8 Sleep Glycolic Overnight Peel: A gentle yet effective exfoliating treatment that resurfaces the skin while you rest, leaving your complexion noticeably smoother and brighter by morning.

• Epionce Enriched Firming Mask: Packed with botanical extracts and clinically proven ingredients, this luxurious mask hydrates and calms the skin while promoting firmness, making it perfect for overnight use.

• Medik8 HEO Mask: A multi-step overnight mask designed to deliver intense hydration and lock in moisture for a plump, dewy complexion by morning.

Incorporating products like these into your bedtime ritual ensures that every moment of downtime counts - not just for your skin, but for your overall sense of wellbeing. This sleep-inspired trend underscores the growing demand for beauty solutions that restore, refresh, and leave you with an effortlessly radiant glow.

Hydration is the cornerstone of healthy, glowing skin, and in 2025, achieving a luminous complexion is easier than ever. Moisture-boosting products remain at the forefront of skincare, with advanced formulations that go beyond surface hydration to deliver long-lasting benefits.

Hydrated skin isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about maintaining the skin’s protective barrier, preventing dryness, and creating a smooth, plump texture. Whether you prefer lightweight serums or rich, nourishing creams, the goal is to lock in moisture while enhancing your skin’s natural glow.

Medik8’s hydration heroes are standout solutions for keeping your skin quenched:

• Hydr8 B5 Serum: This best-selling serum uses hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 to provide an intense hydration boost, leaving skin plump and revitalised.

• Hydr8 B5 Intense: Building on the original formula, this serum adds natural moisturising factors to lock in hydration and amplify your skin’s dewy glow.

We also love the best-selling Hydrafacial treatment, which can be booked here or find out more about why it’s loved here. With the right hydration routine, your skin can achieve that lit-from-within look that reflects vitality and health.

We say it every year, but in 2025, sunscreen is still the MVP of skincare. What’s changed? Formulations are now lighter, smarter, and more versatile than ever, combining broad-spectrum protection with added skincare benefits. These modern sunscreens not only shield your skin from harmful UV rays but also combat free radicals, support hydration, and even address signs of ageing.

Some standout options to keep your skin protected and radiant include:

• Physical Sunscreen: A lightweight, non-greasy formula that’s perfect for all skin types, providing powerful UV protection without clogging pores.

• Advanced Day Total Protect Eye: Specifically formulated for the delicate eye area, this targeted SPF combines sun protection with anti-ageing ingredients to keep skin smooth and youthful.

• Epionce Daily Shield Tinted SPF 50: A tinted sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection while evening out skin tone for a natural, radiant finish.

By incorporating sunscreen into your morning routine, you’re setting the foundation for healthy, radiant skin - because prevention is always better than cure, ladies! 

LED light therapy is revolutionising skincare, offering cutting-edge solutions for tackling a range of concerns, and according to Vogue Scandinavia, at-home devices will continue to rise in 2025. Using specific wavelengths of light, this treatment penetrates the skin at a cellular level to rejuvenate, heal, and refine. From reducing acne and redness to boosting collagen production, LED therapy delivers professional-grade results with no downtime.

At-home devices are also making it easier than ever to bring this transformative treatment into your daily routine:

• Déesse PRO Sculpta: Combining red LED light, radiofrequency, and EMS, this device lifts, contours, and rejuvenates for a firmer, radiant complexion.

• Déesse PRO Express LED Mask: This lightweight mask uses red and near-infrared light to target fine lines, improve collagen production, and leave skin visibly plumper in just 10 minutes a day.
