We partner with Skin Type Solutions in order to offer our patients the following benefits:

1. You get a customized and complete skin care regimen.

Taking the Skin Type Solutions quiz will help you find your skin type, products to use, the products to avoid and what order to use them. As your skin renews and responds, your regimen changes to maintain your new normal. You’ll also be able to purchase other items besides those recommended for your skin type.

2. It takes the guess work out of Skin Care shopping

The products offered by Skin Type Solutions have to pass a high standard, utilize scientifically backed ingredients, and have dermatologist approval. They are also categorized by skin type, so you will know if it’s the right product for you. Whether you are looking for help with dry skin, uneven skin, acne, sensitive skin, or a combo the quiz helps! If you are desiring something more luxurious than what might be found at the drugstore, Skin Type Solutions will steer you in the right direction so that what you buy is worthwhile.

3. Education

You’ll have access to an in-depth, reputable, scientifically supported skin care library about skin, products, and ingredients, all from a dermatology perspective to educate YOU.

Examples of in-depth articles:

• Choosing an Eye Cream
• How to Pop a Pimple Correctly Without Leaving a Scar
• Comedogenic Ingredients and Acne-Causing Ingredient Checker
• Retinoid Science in Skincare
• How to Treat Melasma from the inside

4. Medical grade options

Medical grade skin care is sometimes called Professional Skincare. You may also hear the term Cosmoceuticals— which is a preparation (such as benzoyl peroxide or retinol) that possesses both cosmetic and pharmaceutical properties. Medical grade skin care has been tested by dermatologists and shown to be effective on various skin types through clinical trials. Some specific products may have ingredients that are equivalent to prescription strength with evidence based studies and tests to back up the claim.

It IS possible to find quality ingredients at stores such as Sephor and Ulta, but know what ingredients to look for and align your expectations with what the product can or cannot do.
