From Salmon DNA to AI concierges here are the high tech shifts toward bio-hacked masculine skincare that can change your life. We highlight the newest crazes you need to know!
Worldwide K-beauty products are known for having some amazing effects, as well as ground-breaking ingredients and results. The male grooming market in Korea is one of the largest in the world, and with K-culture booming globally, so has the trend in male grooming, all thanks to K-idols and the stature of K-beauty products. In this article, we will take a look at five of the must try K-beauty habits for men in 2026!
PDRN & Tissue Regeneration
First up on our list is this powerhouse ingredient, often called "Salmon DNA", which has transitioned from professional injections to daily serums for rapid skin repair, and one that the Dojeon team is most excited about!
Salmon DNA is known to heal acne scars, hence why it is particularly popular with men. Not only this, but it is known for being able to refine skin texture and build a long-lasting skin resilience, so what's not to love? This is an item which we will certainly be trying this year!
Intelligent Minimalism
Next up on our list is the 10-step routine, which is being replaced by high-performance hybrids that combine treatment with subtle, natural-looking coverage. Thanks to this new product, you can expect to see "Cica-Tints" and SPF-serums that treat inflammation while evening out skin tone in a single application. This is a must-try this year!
Metabolic Fuel: NAD+ & Cellular Energy
Ready to fuel your skincare? Well, the term "cellular software" is becoming a more commonly used phrase in the male skincare and beauty market. With the rise of NAD+ precursors that act as metabolic fuel for tired skin cells, these products target "orbital fatigue" and sallow skin, essentially recharging the skin’s battery to fight the visible effects of aging and stress, which we are sure that everyone could benefit from using from time to time
Next-Gen Ferments & Microbiome Care
K-beauty is evolving its famous fermentation process to be more targeted, focusing on "purified peptides" that balance the skin's microbiome without irritation. These formulas strengthen the skin's natural defence system, making it less reactive to urban pollution and shaving trauma.
Most men often notice some kind of skin irritation after wet shaving, or a hint of redness, which could soon become a thing of the past, thanks to the next-gen ferments and microbiome care! Would you be up for trying some of these ground-breaking products?
Home-Clinic "Medical Loop" Devices
The line between professional dermatology and home care has blurred with the adoption of wearable LED masks and hydration sensors. This new, affordable skincare routine for men uses AI-linked devices to perform "micro-treatments" at home, adjusting light wavelengths and serum dosing based on daily skin metrics. Would you be up for finding some time in your busy schedule to try this new home clinic?
Final Thoughts
Out of all of these amazing skincare innovations and beauty routines for men for 2026, we are sure that some of them will take off and become the next big thing. The Dojeon team is most looking forward to the salmon DNA tissue regeneration. How about you? Comment below and let the team know!
