Glass Skin 2.0: The Return of Dewy Glow — Korean Skincare Trends in 2025

Glass Skin 2.0: The Return of Dewy Glow — Korean Skincare Trends in 2025

Remember the glass skin trend from a few years ago? In 2025, it’s making a comeback — but better. This time, it’s all about sustainable dew, achieved with skin barrier repair, hydration layering, and skin microbiome support.

Brands like Laneige, Round Lab, and Isntree lead the way. Consumers love water-based toners, ceramide creams, and fermented essence formulas that don't just add glow, but strengthen skin.

What’s different now?

  • K-beauty goes probiotic: Skin microbiome is trending. Look for lactobacillus ferment, bifida lysate, and yogurt extracts.

  • Barrier-first approach: Instead of exfoliating, people now rebuild. That’s why Centella, Panthenol, and Beta-glucan are key in 2025.

  • Hydration layering kits are hot: Brands now sell complete sets that layer toner, essence, serum, and mist — all in one purchase.
