In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic, Consultant Dermatologists Dr Emma Craythorne and Dr Ellie Rashid break down the biggest skincare trends of 2026 through an expert, evidence-based lens. From AI skin analysis and “longevity skincare” to barrier-focused routines, antioxidants, peptides, polynucleotides (PDRN), lactic acid, and hyaluronic acid, they explain what’s backed by real science, what’s still emerging, and what’s mostly marketing noise. You’ll hear why skin barrier first skincare is firmly here to stay, why fewer steps may be better than more, and how to critically appraise skincare trends before spending your money. This episode is about cutting through the noise, understanding ingredients properly, and focusing on what genuinely supports long-term skin health…not just what’s trending on social media.
