what skincare (serums & ingredients) are people using these days?
Our take
In the ever-evolving world of skincare, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out on the latest must-have ingredients. While classics like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and vitamin C remain staples, new players are making waves. Ingredients such as PDRN and volufiline are gaining popularity for their innovative benefits. To stay ahead in your skincare game, it’s essential to explore these emerging trends and consider how they might complement or enhance your existing routine.
I got into skincare when I was in my early 20s, maybe ~5 years ago, and have had a pretty consistent routine over that time with some or all of the following ingredients (obviously not all at the same time):
- hyaluronic acid
- niacinamide
- vitamin c
- SPF (obviously!)
- glycolic acid
- lactic acid
- azelaic acid
- salicylic acid
- retinol/retinal
Obviously when I stated out I did a lot of research and eventually settled on a routine with the above but now I see so many different products (eg just by The Ordinary) whose names/ingredients I don’t recognise! eg PDRN, volufiline
As the title says, are there any big players now that are really useful, effective, popular? That I ought to look into?
I fear I’ve missed out on developments in the skincare world and now may be missing some things that would be good to introduce (or replace any of the above)!

- Completely lost with skincare and don’t know where to startHi everyone, I’m completely lost with skincare and I don’t really know where to start. Right now I use a serum from The Ordinary (niacinamide + zinc) and a CeraVe moisturizer, but honestly I feel like they’re not doing much for me. I have a lot of little red marks spots on my face, and I also think I might have something similar to rosacea because my skin gets red and sensitive (specially after a hot shower or temperature changes) but I’ve never had it checked so I don’t want to self-diagnose. My skin also feels really dry and flaky. The weird thing is that the more I moisturize, the more it feels like my skin depends on it. If I forget moisturizer for even one day, my face starts peeling a lot. I don’t know if my skin barrier is damaged, if I’m using the wrong products, or if I’m just missing something obvious. I really love the Korean glass skin look, but I have no idea how people actually get there, especially with dry/sensitive skin. I don’t want to buy a million random products, so I’d love help building a very simple beginner routine and knowing what ingredients or products I should look for or avoid. Thanks so much in advance. I’m genuinely starting from zero here, so any simple advice would be really helpful. submitted by /u/Valuable_Air_1747 [link] [comments]
- [Routine Help] Acne-prone/oily skin, large pores, acne scars + lightweight SPF recommendations? (Interested in Centella/K-beauty)Hi everyone! I’ve been trying to build a proper skincare routine and thought this would be a good place to ask for honest recommendations from people who actually use these products. I’ve recently been hearing a lot about Korean skincare, especially Centella products, and I’d love some advice on where to start. Skin concerns: Acne-prone skin (had acne since I was around 13, currently 22) Combination to oily skin (used Accutane about 5 years ago, so it’s less oily than before, but still definitely leans oily) Large pores / blackheads -Mild acne scarring and post-acne marks -Dullness/lack of glow so I’m guessing I mainly need help with: serum recommendations, moisturiser recommendations, lightweight SPF recommendations (very important because I hate heavy/suffocating sunscreens), products that help with a natural glow without making me greasy... I also realised I don’t fully understand ingredients yet. For example, I think ingredients like BHA/salicylic acid or niacinamide help with pores and blackheads, but I’ve mostly just followed dermatologist recommendations in the past without really understanding what each product actually did. So if anyone could also explain: which ingredients are best for pores/blackheads, acne scars/post-acne marks, and oily skin, I’d really appreciate it. If you’ve personally used Centella products (or any other products you genuinely loved for similar skin concerns), I’d love to hear your experiences. Thanks so much 💛 submitted by /u/kathykens [link] [comments]
