Skin Types
Oily Skin
Produces excess oil (sebum), leading to shine, enlarged pores, and acne breakouts.
Requires frequent cleansing and oil-control products. More common in teenagers and young adults.
Dry Skin
Lacks sufficient moisture and oils, feels tight and itchy, may flake/peel.
Requires rich moisturizers and gentle cleansers. More common in mature skin.
Understanding your skin type helps guide appropriate skincare routines.
If you’re unsure of your skin type, visit your nearest most trusted dermatologist to formally categorize your skin type.

Requires a balance of hydration and oil control by area.
Very common skin type.
Sensitive Skin
Easily irritated by skincare products, environment.
Requires fragrance-free and dye-free products with simple, soothing ingredients.
Redness and stinging are common reactions.
