Discover the secret behind the 2025 beauty trend that’s taking TikTok by storm!

The rise of the ‘glow up’ phenomenon in 2025: How beauty trends and skincare innovations are transforming skin luminosity and addressing skin imperfections worldwide.
The ‘glow up’ trend is taking the beauty world by storm in early 2025, with its focus on radiant skin becoming a hot topic, especially on platforms like TikTok. This trend emphasizes a luminous complexion achieved through expert makeup techniques and sometimes subtle cosmetic interventions. The cosmetics industry plays a crucial role in this transformation by offering anti-blemish solutions and formulations designed to improve skin texture in a gentle and accessible manner. From tackling hyperpigmentation to combating skin dullness caused by lipofuscin, the beauty industry is making significant strides in enhancing skin luminosity and uniformity for everyone.
The challenge of skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation
Uniform skin tone is a universally recognized aspect of beauty, regardless of age or culture. However, hyperpigmentation poses a challenge that affects all skin types without discrimination. The brightness and evenness of skin color can be influenced by factors such as the distribution of melanin, the thickness of the stratum corneum, and the condition of microcirculation. Melanogenesis, the process of melanin production, can be disrupted by oxidative stress from free radicals, hormonal changes, inflammation from acne, inadequate beauty routines, and photosensitivity to certain substances. External factors, including stress, pollution, and natural aging, also adversely affect melanin distribution, leading to spots and skin discolorations.
The impact of lipofuscin on skin appearance
In addition to hyperpigmentation, another factor affecting skin luminosity is lipofuscin. Research by Vagheggi Laboratories has shown that lipofuscin, a compound comprised of denatured proteins and lipid peroxides, accumulates in cells and can make the skin appear dull, giving it a yellowish or grayish tone. To combat lipofuscin formation and promote its breakdown, Vagheggi has selected juniper fruit extract, known for its beneficial effects on intracellular cleansing processes.
Bright Formula: A solution for achieving a radiant complexion
The juniper extract is a key ingredient in the Bright Formula line, designed to regulate melanin production and distribution in the skin. This range aims to reduce dark spots and discolorations, restoring a uniform and luminous complexion. The Illuminating Anti-Blemish Face Cream, recently featured in the beauty section of Vanity Fair, contains a blend of active ingredients that work synergistically. In addition to juniper extract, the formula includes tranexamic acid, which lightens spots caused by sun exposure, melasma, and age spots. Alkyresorcinols, lipids extracted from cereal bran, are also present, inhibiting melanogenesis and locally lightening the skin. Finally, glucoside, a flavonoid found in green tea, is known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, helping maintain skin hydration.
As the ‘glow up’ trend continues to gain momentum in 2025, the beauty industry is at the forefront, providing innovative solutions to achieve radiant and even skin tones. By addressing issues like hyperpigmentation and lipofuscin accumulation, brands like Vagheggi are empowering individuals to embrace their natural beauty with confidence.
