Skincare in the Philippines keeps evolving. From TikTok trends to dermatologist-approved routines, Filipinas now want simple steps, affordable products, and real results. Here are the top skincare trends Filipinas love this year.
- Glass Skin
A K-beauty trend focused on clear, smooth, glowing skin. The routine includes hydration, gentle exfoliation, and daily sunscreen. - Skin Cycling
A 4-day routine rotation: exfoliation day, retinol day, recovery day 1, recovery day 2. Helps reduce irritation, acne marks, and texture. - Barrier Repair Routine
Many Filipinas are focusing on fixing their skin barrier. Popular ingredients include ceramides, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and centella asiatica. - Sunscreen as Makeup Base
Lightweight sunscreens, sun serums, and tinted sunscreens are trending. Perfect for the humid Philippine weather. - Minimalist 3-Step Routines
Filipinas are simplifying their skincare to just cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. Fewer products, fewer breakouts. - Retinol for Beginners
Retinol is becoming more beginner-friendly. Many now use encapsulated retinol or formulations mixed with ceramides to avoid irritation. - Niacinamide Everything
Niacinamide is extremely popular because it helps with dark spots, oil control, redness, pores, and hydration. - No Makeup Makeup Look
Light, natural-looking makeup is trending. Common products include skin tints, cream blush, tinted moisturizers, and liquid highlighters. - Affordable Dupes
Budget-friendly alternatives to luxury skincare are going viral. Many dupes offer similar results for a lower price. - Home Beauty Devices
At-home tools like LED masks, facial rollers, microcurrent devices, and ultrasonic cleansers are becoming more common.
Final Thoughts
Filipinas are choosing smarter, simpler, and more effective skincare routines. Whether you’re trying glass skin or sticking to minimal steps, the best routine is the one that works for you.
