From AI-driven personalization, to skin barrier science, to the skinification of makeup, 2026 is shaping up to be a groundbreaking year in skincare. Here are the top 10 trends we have our eyes on for next year.
2026 is shaping up to be a groundbreaking year in skincare, and at Dermoi, we couldn’t be more excited. Today’s consumers are demanding more from their routines: greater personalisation, proven results, and formulas that align with both health and sustainability.
As an expert-led skincare platform, Dermoi is at the forefront of this evolution, curating advanced solutions that meet your skin’s unique needs. Ready to discover what’s next? Let’s dive into the top 10 trends.
AI-powered personalisation is transforming skincare, and consumers are here for it. According to McKinsey, 71% of shoppers expect personalised experiences, and nearly 80% are more likely to return to brands that offer them.
AI tools now scan your skin in real time, measuring hydration, oil levels, acne, and aging to recommend tailored products and adjust your routine daily. Brands like L’Oréal and Cetaphil already use this tech, and interest is booming.
At Dermoi, we see this as the future: responsive, data-driven routines that boost skin health and confidence.
Skincare is shifting from correction to prevention. Instead of waiting for fine lines and sun damage to appear, more people in their 20s and 30s are turning to prejuvenation: proactive skincare that supports skin health and longevity from an earlier age.
This new wave of longevity skincare focuses on cellular function, barrier support, and oxidative stress reduction. Ingredients like resveratrol, EGF, peptides, and bakuchiol are leading the charge, promoting collagen production and skin resilience.
At Dermoi, we believe this marks the future of aging gracefully. Our curated products support your skin’s biology at every stage, helping you build a long-term strategy for youthful skin.
Makeup is now doing double duty. Modern formulations now include powerful actives like SPF 50+, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides to protect, hydrate, and support skin health. For example, Oxygenetix Acne Control Foundation combines 2% salicylic acid with a breathable mesh network and soothing aloe vera to treat breakouts while offering flawless coverage. Similarly, EvenSwiss Lip Balm Hydra Plump uses patented Dermatopoietin-Plus Technology to deliver instant plumping and anti-aging action.
From tinted moisturisers to peptide-rich primers, Dermoi’s curated products offer multi-functional solutions for modern routines.
Great skin starts from the inside. Nutritional gaps, stress, sleep, and digestion all impact your complexion. By nurturing your body from the inside out, skin supplements offer:
At Dermoi, we’ve curated a science-backed range of skin and wellness supplements from acne and anti-aging formulas to gut health, antioxidant, and collagen supplements to support every stage of your skin journey.
The skin barrier helps lock in moisture and defend against UV damage, pollution, and toxins. Meanwhile, the skin microbiome is a living ecosystem of good bacteria that supports immunity and protects against inflammation and irritation. An imbalance in either can lead to acne, sensitivity, or premature aging. At Dermoi, we spotlight formulas that support this vital ecosystem:
Skincare isn’t just about skin. It’s about how we feel in our skin. In 2026, more people are embracing skincare as self-care, recognising that emotional well-being and skin health are deeply connected. Stress, anxiety, and low self-esteem can trigger breakouts, inflammation, and even habits like skin picking.
Post-pandemic, self-care rituals became essential for regaining a sense of calm and control. Tools like facial roller and gua sha gained popularity for therapeutic benefits, especially when paired with soothing serums or oils. At Dermoi, we see skincare as a daily act of wellness and a moment to reconnect with yourself.
While long popular in Japanese and Korean beauty, fermented skincare is now gaining global traction. Fermentation is a natural process where microorganisms like yeast and bacteria break down ingredients into smaller molecules. This makes them more bioavailable, allowing for deeper skin penetration, enhanced absorption, and amplified efficacy. The benefits? Balanced pH, improved barrier support, and reduced dryness and irritation.
Dermoi champions advanced formulations like:
In 2026, clean beauty means true sustainability. While natural sourcing sounds eco-friendly, large-scale farming often leads to deforestation, overuse of water, and habitat destruction.
Enter biotechnology: a revolutionary shift in skincare that grows ingredients in labs rather than harvesting them from ecosystems. This approach reduces the environmental impact while delivering consistent, high-performance results.
A great example is squalane, once derived from shark liver; it's now sustainably produced from sugarcane. As consumers become more ingredient-aware, biotech innovation offers safe, effective skincare while protecting our planet’s future.
Marine-based skincare is making waves in 2026. Marine actives like seaweed, red algae, and marine water are packed with antioxidants, amino acids, and minerals.
Red seaweed, for instance, naturally contains peptides and collagen-like compounds that improve firmness and elasticity. As sustainability remains a top priority, marine ingredients are renewable, resilient, and require minimal land or freshwater to cultivate.
For example, Dr Levy’s Freezing Anti-Fatigue Mask, infused with red algae, marine minerals, and glacial water, detoxifies, brightens, and revitalizes tired skin, offering a nutrient-rich reset.
Men’s skincare is thriving. The global men’s personal care market is growing rapidly, driven by changing norms and celebrity influence. From Brad Pitt’s Le Domaine to Harry Styles’ Pleasing, men are reshaping beauty culture
Men’s skin has unique needs: typically thicker, more prone to oiliness, and often stressed by shaving. At Dermoi, we recognise this difference. That’s why our men’s skincare collection is tailored with advanced, science-backed solutions from acne control to anti-aging.
Every product on our platform is hand-selected by our in-house scientific team to ensure it delivers results. Because at Dermoi, effective skincare isn’t just for women. It’s for everyone.
