Over the last few years, consumers have become interested in products for [strobing and highlighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cream-highlighter-sticks) to create skin that appears so radiant and healthy, it seems to have a lit-from-within glow. La Prairie set out to develop the relationship between color, light and reflection with an equation to better understand what causes skin to appear dull. As well as boasting light-reflecting golden caviar extract, both [the serum and the cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brightening-duo) use the illuminating molecule Lumidose to target gray, brown, yellow and red "chromatic disturbances." According to La Prairie's findings, "the less color the skin absorbs, the more luminous it appears." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Skin Luminosity Enhancement:** Creating skincare products that scientifically enhance skin luminosity. - **Color-reflecting Ingredients:** Incorporating light-reflecting ingredients in skincare to target chromatic disturbances. - **Light-from-within Glow:** Developing products that give the skin a radiant and healthy appearance with a lit-from-within glow. ### Who This Affects Most - **Skincare:** Innovating in the skincare industry to develop products that enhance skin luminosity. - **Cosmetics:** Exploring the use of color-reflecting ingredients in cosmetics to create radiant and glowing skin. - **Beauty Technology:** Advancing beauty technology to create products that give the skin a light-from-within glow. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luminizing Orchid Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/orchidee-imperiale-gold-nobile.md) - [Caviar-Infused Face Mists](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-caviar-the-mist.md) - [Scientifically Backed Luxury Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cellcosmet.md) - [Lily-Enhanced Serum Formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lily-concentrate.md) - [Hybrid Makeup Formulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wake-up-radiant-elixir.md) - [Comprehensive Glow-Promoting Skincare Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glow-collection.md) - [Premium Peptide Body Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cashmere-body-cream.md) - [Firming Eye Serums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-caviar-eye-lift-serum.md) - [Luxury Science-Backed Facial Moisturizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/three-international.md)
