An Overview of Facial Skincare Trends in Germany
According to Mintel’s women’s skincare report Germany, brands will keep launching active ingredient focused facial skincare products as social media continues to drive trends, with 50% of 16 to 24-year-olds seeking inspiration on social platforms.
With social media offering a vast variety of information on different products, brands have the opportunity to educate consumers around concern-ingredient connection and can encourage them to commit to comprehensive routines, regardless of skin concern.
Facial Skincare Formats and Ingredients Trends in Germany: What Consumers Want and Why
- Consumer Interest in Facial Skincare Formats & Ingredients: A clear link between skin issues and ingredient interest can be established, as 72% of German consumers with any skin concern actively look for products with certain ingredients.
- Educating Skincare Users: Many consumers are unclear on the specifics of skincare format uses – 63% of users with dry skin don’t seek out hyaluronic acid, despite the ingredient’s ubiquity. Brands should take responsibility for educating consumers, using product packaging and social media partnerships to do so.
- Consumer Behaviour in the German Skincare Industry: Even amid economic challenges, many facial skincare shoppers prioritise active ingredients and long-lasting results over price. The German skincare consumer is informed and discerning, which makes them open to innovation, but also means that brands need to do more to prove product efficacy to stand out in a saturated category.
German Skincare Industry Market Forecast
- Sustainability matters to 67% of German consumers. To encourage usage of eco-friendly BPC products, brands should emphasise transparency to navigate the sustainability balancing act amidst consumer scepticism.
- Brands that stay alert of other regulatory legislation, such as the impending restriction of retinol in skincare, will be able to keep consumers engaged, ideally while striving to improve product stability and efficacy.

What goes into a Mintel Market Intelligence Report?
Curious about how a Market Intelligence report comes together? We like to think of it as building a detailed puzzle. We start with individual pieces: data from consumers, market statistics, industry trends, and online conversations. Then our expert analysts add world-class human insight and industry knowledge. The pieces are assembled to reveal a clear, comprehensive picture of a market.
The Four Pillars of Our Research
We use a combination of four main research methods when creating our reports, each adding a valuable perspective:
- Consumer Research: Direct surveys with real people, giving us clear, current insights into what people think and do.
- Desk Research: In-depth review of trusted data sources. We use this rich database, plus powerful internal tools that track new products and market sizes, to detect trends and guide forecasts.
- Trade Research: Insights from conversations with industry experts. Their real-world experience helps us understand what’s happening behind the scenes.
- Brand and Social Media Research: Analysis of online opinions and trends. This lets us spot trends, measure brand sentiment, and capture feedback in real time, adding further depth to our research.
Bringing It All Together
Each of these four pillars provides a different piece of the puzzle. Consumer research tells us what customers think, desk research provides the factual framework, trade research offers an insider’s view, and social media analysis reveals public sentiment.
Our expert analysts are skilled in weaving these diverse data streams together. They apply a range of quantitative and qualitative analysis techniques to uncover the deeper story, connecting the dots to deliver clear, actionable insights. This comprehensive, multi-layered process is how we transform raw data into a market intelligence report you can trust to inform your most important business decisions.

We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
Marie Stafford, European Director, The Innovation Group, VML
Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
Ben Zeidler, Director - Research and Analytics, Tenth Wave
At Jackman, we believe that powerful strategies are based on human insight. Mintel’s leading-edge reports and insights into consumer attitudes and behaviors are an important input as we develop and execute strategy.
Alana Gavin, VP Research and Insights, Jackman
We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.
Zac Steele, E-Commerce Trading Development Manager, Waitrose & Partners
Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
