Skin Diagnosis

The skin diagnostic tool offers an innovative way to analyse skin types and their specific needs. By completing a personalised questionnaire, you receive an accurate assessment of your skin type and tailored product recommendations for your skincare routine.

What is meant by a VE(.) skin typology?

At Typology, we have decided not to restrict ourselves to sebum production when defining skin profiles, but to integrate the stage of ageing and exposure to oxidative factors. 24 skin typologies have thus been defined, including VE(.) skin. What does this skin profile correspond to? Find out here.

The characteristics of the VE(+) skin profile.

While four skin types are conventionally recognised, at Typology we chose to go further by distinguishing 24 skin typologies—hence the VE(+) profile. Your skin is VE(+), and you may be wondering what this entails and how to care for it; continue reading to find out.

What do we mean by having DP(.) skin?

Even though the terms "oily skin", "dry skin", "combination skin" and "normal skin" are still in use, new classifications are emerging based on criteria other than the level of sebum secreted, thus expanding the list of different skin types. According to a more advanced scientific methodology, we have established not 4 but 24 different skin profiles. So, what does it mean to have DP(.) skin?

DP(-), what does this skin type signify?

The skin diagnosis that we have implemented at Typology allows us to assess the characteristics and needs of the skin based on three main criteria: sebaceous gland activity, skin ageing, and oxidation factors. Following this analysis, 24 different skin typologies have been identified. Let's explore in this article what the DP(-) profile indicates.

FAQ about skin diagnosis

How does the Typology skin diagnosis work?

Our skin diagnosis consists of a detailed questionnaire comprising approximately fifteen questions, designed to evaluate the participant’s sensations, observations, lifestyle habits and environment.

Is the Typology skin diagnosis free of charge?

Yes, our skin diagnostic assessment is completely free of charge and can be carried out online.

Can the Typology skin diagnosis help in selecting treatments to combat skin ageing?

Yes, if this matches your skin’s needs, our skin diagnosis recommends products specifically formulated to combat the signs of ageing.

Is it sufficient to perform the skin diagnosis only once?

In order to adapt the skincare routine to climatic variations and potential changes in skin condition, it is recommended to renew the skin diagnosis every six months.

What is the difference between skin type and skin condition?

Skin type is relatively stable (dry, oily, combination, normal), whereas skin condition can change (dehydrated, sensitised, acne-prone). The diagnosis takes both dimensions into account, and at Typology, even more so.

What criteria are used to determine the Typology skin diagnosis?

Our skin diagnosis is assessed according to three primary and universal criteria: oxidative factors, sebum production and skin ageing.

Can a skin diagnosis replace a dermatological opinion?

No, it does not replace a medical diagnosis. It falls within a cosmetic and preventive framework, rather than a therapeutic one.

Are online skin diagnostics reliable?

Online skin diagnostics are relevant when they are based on precise, well-formulated questions. Their reliability also depends on the quality of the information supplied and the candour of the responses.

Do seasonal variations influence skin diagnosis?

Yes, cold, heat, wind or humidity alter skin homeostasis. A skin diagnosis in winter may differ from one carried out in summer.

Can a skin analysis assist in selecting a comprehensive skincare routine?

Yes, it is one of its main objectives. Skin assessment enables the recommendation of a coherent skincare routine tailored to the skin’s actual needs.
