Science that turns skin typing into clinical action

Skin Type PRO is built around the Baumann Skin Types framework: a published skin typing system that connects visible skin concerns to barrier, inflammation, pigment, and aging patterns.

Why it matters

A practical clinical framework, not a generic skin quiz

The science behind Skin Type PRO starts with classifying facial skin by how it behaves. Instead of grouping patients by a single concern, the Baumann Skin Types system evaluates dryness or oiliness, sensitivity or resistance, pigmentation tendency, and wrinkle-prone or tight skin. Skin Type PRO uses that framework to help practices move from assessment to education, product logic, and repeatable regimen recommendations.

Multidimensional skin typing

Each result reflects a combination of four skin behavior dimensions, creating a more specific care pathway than broad categories like oily, dry, or sensitive.

Ingredient-aware recommendations

Recommendations are shaped by ingredient benefits, ingredient conflicts, routine order, and the barriers that matter most for each skin type.

Provider-ready workflows

The platform translates skin type findings into consult notes, patient education, product recommendations, and commerce workflows a practice can actually use.

Workflow

How the science becomes a workflow

1

Assess the skin type

Patients complete the Baumann Skin Type assessment so the practice starts with structured, consistent information.

2

Map the barriers

The result identifies the skin health barriers that need attention, including hydration, sensitivity, pigmentation, and aging-related structure.

3

Generate guidance

Skin Type PRO turns the result into patient education, provider consult support, and routine-building logic.

4

Connect care to follow-through

The same skin type logic supports purchasing, refills, substitutions, and ongoing engagement instead of ending at the diagnosis.

Evidence

What this means for practices

A repeatable language for explaining why one patient needs barrier repair while another needs pigment control, inflammation reduction, or aging support.

More consistent recommendations across providers, locations, and staff members.

A direct link between clinical assessment, patient education, product selection, and long-term adherence.
