Unlike skincare trends that follow a specific routine or hero a single ingredient, the ‘glazed skin’ trend prioritises glowiness through skin health. By focusing on barrier support and ongoing hydration, you could experience a smoother skin texture, noticeable bounciness, and a soft sheen reminiscent of a glazed donut. Many of our formulas include ingredients that can help you achieve that glazed skin look, and best of all, you don’t have to join a waitlist to access them!
Replenishing gel serum
Your glazed skin routine starts with a lightweight moisturising serum to help prompt moisture balance and a visible glow. Niacinamide is an excellent all-rounder ingredient for this; its tone- and texture-refining effects work beautifully with hydrating Glycerin and plumping Peptides.

Ceramide-rich moisturiser
Ceramides are essential ingredients for glazed-looking skin, as they help support your skin’s moisture barrier and lipid content. They can contribute to resilient, hydrated skin that feels more supple, bouncy, and balanced. When formulated into a moisturising cream, ceramides also complement other moisturising ingredients to help your skin feel soft yet strengthened.

Comforting barrier cream
Ingredients with skin-conditioning effects (like chamomile-derived Bisabolol and nourishing Vitamin E) can be beneficial for skin that feels dry, dehydrated, or depleted. They work in tandem with humectants like Beta-Glucan, Glycerin, and Hyaluronic Acid to draw in and hold onto water for lasting hydration – crucial for a glazed skin look.
