Before you can build the perfect skincare routine, you need to understand one thing: your skin type. Knowing whether your skin is dry, oily, combination, sensitive, or normal helps you choose the right products — and avoid the wrong ones.

At Teoxane, we believe advanced skincare starts with understanding your skin’s unique needs. Our clinically developed products, powered by RHA^® technology, are designed to help and improve all skin types.

The 5 Main Skin Types ¹

1. Normal Skin

Visually, looks uniform, luminous, without excessive shine, and has asmooth and even texture without apparent pores. In a tactile examination, the skin

appears fresh and smooth, with normal thickness, hydrated, firm, and flexible.

Try: RHA^® Serum for daily hydration and radiance.

2. Dry Skin

On visual examination, looks clear, dull (sebum deficiency), and sometimes flaky. It has no visible pores and may have eczematous, reddish areas and rosacea. On tactile examination, the skin appears cold, thin, rough, with little flexibility, and often

with dehydration streaks.

Try: RHA^® Serum for a moisture boost + RHA Advanced Filler Dry Skin

3. Oily Skin

has a shiny appearance, uneven texture with very large pores. It may have comedones and pimples, acne scars, and skin irritations. On tactile examination, the skin is oily, smooth, hyper-seborrheic, and thick.

Try: Perfect Skin Refiner for gentle resurfacing and smoother texture.

4.Aging skin:

Exhibits a pale and dull appearance, uneven texture, presence of wrinkles,

enlarged pores, and comedones and dyschromic spots. Upon tactile examination, the

skin appears cold, thin, dry, rough, and inelastic.

5. Sensitive Skin

Visually, shows seborrheic dermatitis, signs of rosacea, scaling, blisters, edemas, redness, and dryness. It can appear hot and rough.

How to Identify Your Skin Type

Here’s a simple way to tell your skin type:

Wash your face with a mild cleanser.

Pat dry and wait 30–60 minutes (don’t apply anything).

Observe how your skin feels and looks:

Shiny all over? Likely oily.

Tight or flaky? Probably dry.

Shiny T-zone only? Combination.

No discomfort or shine? Normal.

Redness or irritation? Sensitive.

Matching Your Routine to Your Skin Type

Your skincare routine should be tailored to your skin’s unique profile:

Cleanser: Choose gentle, non-stripping options.

Serum: Use Teoxane serum made [CP5] with RHA that targets your primary concern (hydration, glow, texture).

Moisturizer: Match weight and texture to your skin type.

Sun Protection (AM): Always. Every skin type needs sun protection.

No matter your skin type, there’s a Teoxane solution designed with you in mind. Our Swiss-formulated products inspired by aesthetic to help your skin look and feel its best — every day.
