Skincare in 2026 is all about science-meets-luxury. From cutting-edge molecules like NAD+ and NMN to playful bubble masks and high-tech beauty devices, this year’s trends promise results that go beyond the surface. Ready to future-proof your beauty routine? Let’s dive into the six hottest skincare trends and the must-have products leading the way.

1. NAD+: The Cellular Energy Booster

NAD+ is the buzzword of 2026, and for good reason. It is a coenzyme found in every cell, essential for energy production and DNA repair. As we age, NAD+ levels drop, leading to dullness and slower regeneration. It is the ultimate fuel to help your skin bounce back from stress and aging. If your skin had a favorite energy drink, it would be NAD+.

Harnessing the buzz around NAD+, the EQQUALBERRY NAD+ Peptide Boosting Serum blends it with a powerhouse peptide complex, five ceramides, vegan collagen, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants like pomegranate extract to boost collagen, moisture, and firm elasticity. The result? Skin that looks revitalized, plumped, and radiant, with strengthened barrier functions—perfect for anyone chasing that glass-skin glow. Think of it as a double espresso for your complexion—energizing, firming, and brightening so you can say goodbye to “tired skin” days.

2. NMN: The Longevity Molecule

NMN is the ingredient that whispers, “Stay young forever.” It boosts NAD+ levels, supporting cellular health and slowing visible aging. NMN enhances NAD+ synthesis, improving energy metabolism and reducing oxidative stress. When combined with PDRN (a DNA fragment that promotes tissue repair), it becomes a powerhouse for regeneration.

The LAMELIN Miracle Nmn+Pdrn Biotox Serum and Biotox Cream double down with NMN and PDRN for deep repair and hydration. Think of them as the dynamic duo your skin didn’t know it needed—like Batman and Robin, but for wrinkles. Smooth, firm, and radiant? Yes, please. They also include niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, peptides, natural extracts (green tea, chamomile, centella), ceramides, glycerin, and allantoin for hydration and barrier support. Benefits include enhanced elasticity, reduced wrinkles, deeply nourished, soothed skin with improved tone and texture —a dual-layered boost for cellular renewal and anti-aging.

3. Azelaic Acid: The Multi-Tasking Hero

Azelaic Acid is the overachiever of skincare—brightening, calming, and fighting acne all at once. It reduces melanin production, unclogs pores, and calms redness. Based on our beauty forecast, azelaic acid is now gaining traction for its versatility, and in 2026, it’s the go-to for multitasking skincare.

The Purito SEOUL Azelaic Acid 10 Kojic Tea Tree Serum takes it up a notch with kojic acid for extra glow and tea tree for soothing. It’s basically the skincare equivalent of a triple-shot latte: energizing, balancing, and oh-so satisfying. Additional boosters like niacinamide, vitamin E, glutathione, and botanical antioxidants calm irritation, fade dark spots, refine pores, and restore barrier health—ideal for a clean, clear, and glowing complexion. Say goodbye to dullness and hello to clear, radiant skin.

4. Bubble Skincare: Fun Meets Function

Bubble masks are the playful trend that combines detox with entertainment. They’re Instagram-worthy and effective. While the oxygen bubbles lift impurities, other ingredients help make the magic happen for your skin, such as exfoliating, purifying, or calming.

Bubble masks are the life of the party, and the P.CALM Holy Basil Bubble Deep Mask is the VIP guest. Packed with holy basil and oxygenating bubbles, it detoxes pores while making you look like a frothy cloud. This playful “mud-to-bubble” mask starts with montmorillonite clay, combined with AHA, PHA, and holy basil leaf extracts for detoxifying and reducing blackheads by 55% and sebum by 23%. Oxygen-rich bubbles loosen impurities, while PHA and oat extracts gently exfoliate and hydrate. Benefits include deep cleansing, smoother texture, soothed skin, and an invigorating, spa-like experience at home. It’s self-care with a side of giggles—and results that leave your skin fresh, smooth, and ready for its close-up. Have a taste of the P.CALM Red Rice Bubble Deep Mask and Turmeric Bubble Deep Mask if you are feeling “adventurous” to explore other bubble masks!

5. PDRN: The Regeneration Revolution

PDRN is like hitting the reset button on your skin. Known for its regenerative powers, it repairs and rejuvenates at the cellular level. It is derived from salmon DNA and known for its ability to repair tissue and boost collagen production. Paired with peptides and collagen, it’s anti-aging gold.

The medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum contains 10,000 ppm salmon PDRN, plus niacinamide, multiple peptides, hyaluronic acid, collagen, turmeric, and holy basil—boosting repair, strengthening the barrier, increasing elasticity, brightening tone, and delivering glass-skin hydration within two weeks. It makes the perfect match with the Pink Collagen Bubble Serum, which layers high-purity PDRN and low-molecular collagen in a 90:10 ratio with niacinamide, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and vitamin E. Its bubbly texture absorbs in 10 seconds, leaving skin plump, firm, hydrated, and glowier—a double hit for regeneration and radiance.

6. At-Home Beauty Devices: Spa Tech at Your Fingertips

Why book an expensive facial when you can bring the spa home? Beauty tech is booming as consumers seek professional results at home. EMS devices are now leading the charge as it helps tone facial muscles, improve circulation, and enhance product absorption.
