In addition to making a range of face scrubs, gel washes and cleaning pads, the brand sets itself apart with its 'Cover' range of cosmetics. This includes a [concealer stick, powders and creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-correcting-balm) that are designed to perfect present-day skin, while also care for future skin. Because the cosmetics won't clog pores and limit the production of sebum, these properties are ideal for those who suffer from [sensitive skin conditions and acne](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/first-aid-beauty-debuts). Additionally, two-in-one products provide a way for consumers with minimal skin issues to easily execute makeup applications, without having to take on a separate routine involving antibacterial skincare products. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Antibacterial Makeup:** There is an opportunity for the development of makeup products that not only cover blemishes but also prevent bacterial growth on the skin. - **Preventative Cosmetics:** Cosmetic brands can explore the creation of cosmetics that not only enhance present-day skin but also care for future skin by incorporating ingredients that promote healthy skin. - **Two-in-one Products:** There is a market for two-in-one products that combine makeup and skincare elements, providing convenience for consumers with minimal skin issues. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Cosmetics:** Cosmetic brands can innovate by incorporating antibacterial formulas into their product lines, offering consumers an option for makeup that also prevents bacterial growth on the skin. - **Skincare:** Skincare brands have an opportunity to develop products that not only address skin concerns but also provide a foundation for long-term skin health by preventing bacterial growth. - **Beauty Retail:** Beauty retailers can capitalize on the growing demand for antibacterial makeup and preventative cosmetics by curating and promoting these products to their customers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Antibacterial Acne Spot Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byebye-blemish-roller.md) - [Antibacterial Perfume Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/w-dressroom-new-york.md) - [Microbiome-Friendly Skincare Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microbioskin.md) - [Skin-Caring Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/versed-makeup.md) - [Probiotic-Based Acne Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrier-clear-treatment.md) - [Invisible Acne Patch Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-patches.md) - [Color Correcting Balms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/color-correcting-balm.md) - [Skin-Loving Cruelty-Free Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skincare-makeup.md) - [Multifunctional Anti-Blemish Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hysac-collection.md)
