The Indonesian skincare market is seeing a surge in local brands in 2026, with companies like Wardah, Azarine, and Glad2Glow leading the charge in offering effective and affordable products for tropical skin.

It's particularly suitable for sensitive and oily skin types, as it provides natural coverage without a white cast. The BPOM-registered formula offers hydration and protection, making it a staple for daily skincare.

For those seeking brightening solutions, Glad2Glow's Pomegranate 5% Niacinamide Brightening Serum is gaining traction among younger consumers. This affordable serum uses pomegranate extract and niacinamide to even out skin tone and reduce dark spots. Its gentle yet effective formula is suitable for daily use, promoting a more radiant and supple complexion. The product's fresh scent and efficacy in fading blemishes, coupled with its BPOM registration, make it a popular choice.
