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


💡 Skin Type PRO replaces guesswork with a structured, clinically grounded system.


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


💡 This creates a more precise understanding of each patient’s skin and how it should be treated.


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.
