Beauty Experts Weigh In: The Skincare Heroes of 2025
As we bid farewell to the previous year, it's time to look back at the skincare trends that dominated the British market. One thing is clear - South Korean brands have taken over, and for good reason. These innovative companies have brought a new level of hydration, gentleness, and affordability to the table.
At the forefront of this movement is Beauty of Joseon, with their Relief Sun Rice + Probiotics SPF50+, which embodies everything that excites skincare enthusiasts about modern sunscreens. This product stands out for its elegant packaging, soothing formulas, and competitive pricing. Suitable for all skin types, it offers a refreshing everyday moisturiser experience at an unbeatable price point of £15.50.
While South Korean brands have certainly made waves in the UK market, France hasn't let its heritage slip. Mimétique is another brand that has delivered impressive launches this year, particularly with their Skin Cloud cleansing balm (£25). This fast and effective product is perfect for those with drier skin, and CTRL (£43) eye cream has won over even the most skeptical skincare fans.
The Ordinary's £13.50 GF 15% Solution has also made a significant impact, shaming high-end brands with its affordability. This gentle anti-ageing serum is suitable for sensitive skins and offers an excellent alternative to more expensive products.
Meanwhile, Hair+Me has taken the lead in addressing hair loss issues, offering proven prescription treatments that have resonated with customers of all genders.
The mineral sunscreen market has also experienced a remarkable resurgence this year, thanks in part to Sunsolve MD's innovative new generation zinc-oxide face creams. Their makeup-compatible formulas have made it easier for consumers to incorporate sun protection into their daily skincare routines.
Lastly, INN Beauty Project's Mineral Sun Glow, a tinted facial sunscreen that has gained popularity in the US, is eagerly awaited by UK fans. Its affordability and excellent performance make it a highly anticipated release in 2025.

. South Korean brands are definitely giving France a run for its money 
. But what's really got me excited is that we're seeing more affordable options without compromising on quality - like The Ordinary’s GF 15% Solution, which is literally changing the game 
. Hair loss treatments are also becoming more mainstream, and I think it's awesome that brands like Hair+Me are offering prescription solutions 
. One thing to watch out for though is the mineral sunscreen market getting even crazier... can’t wait to see what 2025 brings! 
I'm telling ya, this whole skincare industry is rigged 
. Think about it, these Korean brands are flooding the market with affordable, effective products... it's like they're trying to brainwash us into buying more 
. And don't even get me started on the French ones - mimétique seems to be pushing some kind of agenda with their 'Skin Cloud' product... what's in that stuff? 
Maybe it's just my conspiracy theory radar, but I bet they're testing out something new and sinister 
. And have you seen the prices? £15.50 for a sunscreen? That sounds like a markup to me 
. Something fishy is going on here...
! It's amazing how they're making high-quality products that are both affordable and gentle on our skin. And I love that we have French brands like Mimétique bringing their own twist to the table with innovative launches 
! Sunsolve MD's mineral sunscreens are another big win, making it easy to add sun protection to our daily routines 
. Can't wait to try out INN Beauty Project's Mineral Sun Glow when it drops! 
but honestly, korean brands r slaying 
the relief sun rice probiotics spf50+ from beauty of joseon is literally game changing 
and £15.50 is a steal 
the ordinary's gf 15% solution is also on point 
affordable and gentle anti-aging magic 
hair loss issues are super stressful 
but inn beauty project's mineral sun glow is gonna be everything for me this year 
I just read about the skincare heroes of 2025 and I gotta say, Korean brands are killing it right now! 
I also love that there are more options for people with sensitive skin or hair loss issues. Sunsolve MD's zinc-oxide face creams are a game changer! 
The mineral sunscreen market is also SO overdue for a refresh, Sunsolve MD's new generation zinc-oxide face creams are giving me LIFE 
.

.
. With so many exciting products and innovations on the horizon, I'm confident that we'll see continued growth and progress in the industry 
. I've tried most of these new skincare launches and gotta say, some are absolute game changers 
. South Korean brands have definitely made waves with their innovative formulas and affordable prices 
. It's about time we addressed this sensitive topic and gave people like me who've dealt with it firsthand some much-needed options 
.
. We're always being told to be kinder to the planet, but when it comes to our daily skincare routines, we're still using a lot of single-use packaging and non-biodegradable products 
. Maybe these newer brands will take the lead in making eco-friendly options more accessible?
