Every routine decision — cleanser texture, serum choice, how rich your moisturizer should be — starts with one question: what is your skin type? Answer six quick questions below and get your type, plus the exact next steps for it. No email required, no products pushed.
How this quiz works
The questions mirror what a facialist assesses in person: how your skin behaves after cleansing, how it handles product, where oil shows up, and how it reacts to weather and new formulas. Each answer maps to one of the five recognised skin types — oily, dry, combination, normal or sensitive — and your strongest pattern wins.
A quiz is a starting point, not a diagnosis. For the most reliable read, confirm your result with our 5-minute bare-face test — the same method dermatologists recommend, and it takes one evening.
What to do with your result
Once you know your type, two guides do most of the heavy lifting: the correct routine order, morning and night, and niacinamide, explained — the rare ingredient that suits every one of the five types.
FAQ
Can my skin type change?
Yes. Hormones, climate, age and season all shift it. Retake this quiz when the weather changes or if your usual products suddenly stop working.
Can I have more than one skin type?
Combination skin is exactly that — two behaviours on one face. If you scored closely between two types, treat each zone according to its own behaviour.
Is sensitive skin really a type?
Dermatologists treat sensitivity as a condition that can overlay any type — you can have oily sensitive skin or dry sensitive skin. If you scored sensitive, prioritise barrier care first, then address oil or dryness.
