3 Top Skincare Trends for 2023

We are in a new era of skincare where consumers are more educated and expect more results than ever before. ​ In 2023, key trends arise to meet these demands. ​ Dermoi's Chief Scientific Officer outlines 3 top skincare trends for the upcoming year.

Trend No 1. Nutraceuticals for Holistic Skincare

The skin is the body's largest organ and microbiome. It comes as no surprise that skin is deeply affected by internal health and nutrient intake. In 2023, caring for skin will continue to involve an inside-out approach.

Many beneficial nutrients are not properly absorbed by the body when taken via an oral form. This is because they have not been designed for bioavailability and absorption by the body. ​
​​
​Nutraceuticals combine beneficial active nutrients with pharmaceutical technologies and delivery systems to ensure they are absorbed into the blood stream and can benefit the body. ​ ​
​​
​Implementation of nutraceuticals into skincare routines is already booming. ​ This trends will continue in 2023.

Trend No 2. Science-Backed Delivery Systems

The skin is an extremely strong barrier that is designed to keep pathogens, dirt and toxins out. It is not permeable to many ingredients leaving majority of topical skincare products in the market ineffective.

Topical skincare is become more and more advanced year on year. Delivery systems can provide a variety of benefits as they can keep active ingredients stable, increase penetration, increase molecular specificity, and slowly release actives into the skin.

In 2023, clinically-proven delivery systems will continue to emerge on the market and will grow in popularity.

Trend No 3. Active Cosmeceuticals for all Skin Types & Tones

Active ingredients are the ingredients responsible for the benefits in skincare. ​ They have the ability to influence cellular structures or function and create change. ​ These ingredients are found in medical-grade and cosmeceutical skincare brands. ​

There has been a myth that active skincare is harsh, irritating and strips the skin. This is unraveling as new active ingredients are developed. For example Dermatopoietin technology by Evenswiss triggers natural cell signaling by your own skin cells that produces collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. ​ It is extremely effective and causes no irritation.

With a results-driven, intelligent skincare consumer, innovation of new, effective and user friendly active ingredients will increase in 2023.
