The Science
Skin Type PRO is built on a medically-published system designed to deliver precise, personalized skincare recommendations.
At the core of the platform is the Baumann Skin Types system, developed by dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann.
Why This Matters
Most skincare recommendations are based on general skin categories like “dry,” “oily,” or “sensitive.”
These simplified approaches often lead to:
Inconsistent results
Trial-and-error product selection
Poor patient adherence
The Baumann Skin Types
The Baumann Skin Types system classifies skin into 16 unique skin types based on four key parameters:
Dry or Oily
Sensitive or Resistant
Pigmented or Non-Pigmented
Wrinkle-Prone or Tight
Each skin type requires a different approach to:
Product selection
Ingredient use
Treatment strategy
For example, a dry and sensitive skin type requires a very different regimen than an oily and resistant skin type.
