Before we talk about trends, it’s worth taking a look at the science behind them. Whether skin looks radiant or dull depends primarily on three factors: hydration, skin texture, and light reflection. Well-hydrated skin looks plumper, the skin’s surface appears smoother, and light is reflected more evenly. A smooth, even skin surface scatters light evenly, while unevenness and dryness make the skin look duller. A glow is therefore created by the way light hits and reflects off the skin—the more even the reflection, the more radiant the complexion appears. A glow describes a naturally radiant complexion and is the radiance that results when the skin barrier is intact and the skin is hydrated.

The new Glazed Skin Glow Drops are designed specifically for moisturizing care and light-reflecting products—with three key components:

1. Hydration – Hyaluronic Acid Complex: leaves skin looking plumper and smoother and improves light reflection.
2. Skin Texture Refinement – Kombucha Ferment: Helps create a more even skin texture, which serves as a foundation for uniform light reflection; unevenness that could cause light to scatter is minimized.
3. Optical Effect – Moisturizing Care + Physical Light Effects: Ultra-fine, light-reflecting pigments capture incoming light and reflect it off the skin’s surface. The rosé-champagne shade creates a soft shimmer and instantly makes the complexion appear more radiant and even.

The "glazed skin" effect is created by a smooth, plump-looking skin surface that reflects light evenly. The Glow Drops combine intense hydration with fine, light-reflecting pigments to create the "glazed skin" look. In summary, it is the combination of hydration, skin texture refinement, and light-reflecting pigments that creates the "glazed skin" look.

Two brands, one shared vision: With the new Glazed Skin Glow Drops, KAA Cosmetics and DR EMI ARPA SKIN are launching their first collaborative product. The result: a skincare-makeup hybrid for the coveted glazed-skin look.

This universal, rosé-champagne shade gently reflects light and gives every skin tone a naturally radiant finish. The creamy, smooth texture blends seamlessly with the skin, providing a fresh glow and making the complexion appear more even, vibrant, and well-cared-for. At the heart of the formula is an active ingredient complex consisting of hyaluronic acid, kombucha ferment, postbiotics, and vitamin E. 

Thanks to their versatile uses, Glow Drops can be seamlessly integrated into any beauty routine: used on their own for an intense “Glazed & Glow” look, mixed with your daily moisturizer, or applied sparingly as a highlighting finish. You can build up the intensity to suit your preferences—for a glow that’s always as natural or glamorous as you want it to be.

Step 01: Cleansing & Preparation
Clean your face with a cleanser and use a toner if necessary.

Step 02: Skincare
Apply a moisturizer if needed.

Step 03: Sun Protection
Apply sunscreen generously and evenly to your face, neck, and décolletage in the morning as the final step of your skincare routine. Reapply every 2–3 hours to maintain protection. Allow 5–10 minutes for it to absorb.

Step 04: Shake the Glow Drops
Shake well before use for optimal dispensing.

Step 05: Apply Glow Drops
Apply a few drops—depending on the desired intensity—evenly over your entire face using a brush or your fingers. Alternatively, mix it into your moisturizer or DR EMI ARPA SKIN’s Milky Drops and apply evenly—or use it sparingly as a highlighter on your cheeks, forehead, and bridge of your nose.

The Glazed Skin Glow Drops, created in an exclusive collaboration with KAA Cosmetics—Bill Kaulitz’s brand—combine skincare and makeup in an innovative hybrid formula. The rosé-champagne-colored texture gently reflects light and gives the skin a natural glow that instantly makes a dull complexion look more vibrant. Suitable for all skin types: normal skin, dry skin, combination skin, and oily skin. Vegan and dermatologically tested.

Glow and glazed skin are two different things: Glow is the natural radiance of healthy, hydrated skin, while glazed skin is the visual, glass-like high-gloss effect created by layering moisturizing and light-reflecting products. The new Glazed Skin Glow Drops from DR EMI ARPA SKIN, in collaboration with KAA Cosmetics, combine both in a skincare-makeup hybrid: A hyaluronic acid complex provides hydration, kombucha ferment evens out the complexion, and fine, light-reflecting pigments in a universal rosé-champagne shade deliver the final, glass-like glow. Use them pure, blended, or applied selectively—for a glow that’s as natural or as glamorous as you want it to be.
