Move over acai and pomegranate – cherry is stepping into the skincare spotlight, and it’s not just because it looks cute on packaging. This juicy red fruit is quickly becoming a superfruit staple, thanks to its potent mix of antioxidants, vitamins, and skin-brightening power.
At the heart of cherry’s skincare stardom is vitamin C, a beloved brightener that helps even out skin tone and boost collagen production. But cherry doesn’t stop there. It also packs anthocyanins – those deep red pigments that give it its vibrant color. These compounds are powerful free radical fighters, protecting skin from environmental stress, pollution, and early signs of aging.
“This year, the buzz has shifted to skincare,” says Faye Purcell, Head of Research and Development at Q+A. “Thanks to the potent antioxidants found in cherries, particularly anthocyanins and vitamin C, expect a bright and boosted complexion.” No surprise, then, that Q+A has infused acerola cherry, a vitamin C powerhouse, into its Vitamin C Eye Cream for a targeted glow.
Cherry enzymes also offer gentle exfoliationsl – oughing off dull, dead skin cells for a softer, smoother finish. Whether it’s in a glow serum, a sleeping mask, or a body scrub, cherry delivers that fresh-faced energy we all crave.
In short, cherry isn’t just the topping on your skincare sundae – it’s the star ingredient. Sweet, powerful, and protective, it’s the skin-brightening treat 2025 didn’t know it needed.
