How to Choose the Right Skincare Products for Your Skin Type

Ever feel like skincare just doesn't work for you?
It might not be the product—it might be that you’re using the wrong one for your skin type.

Knowing your skin type is the key to clearer, healthier skin. Whether you're oily, dry, or somewhere in between, your routine needs to match your biology.

Here’s how to figure out your skin type and pick the right products to support it.

🔍 Step 1: Identify Your Skin Type

After cleansing your face, wait 30–60 minutes without applying anything and check how your skin feels:

  • Oily Skin: Feels greasy and shiny, especially in the T-zone

  • Dry Skin: Feels tight, flaky, or rough

  • Combination Skin: Oily in some areas (usually forehead and nose), dry in others (cheeks)

  • Normal Skin: Balanced—not too oily or dry

  • Sensitive Skin: Easily irritated, red, or itchy from products or weather

Understanding this is critical for building the right skincare routine.

🧴 Step 2: Match Products to Your Skin Type

👉 Oily or Acne-Prone Skin

Look for:

  • Salicylic acid (to unclog pores)

  • Niacinamide (to reduce oil)

  • Lightweight serums that absorb fast
    Avoid:

  • Heavy creams or greasy moisturizers

Try this: DAPR Clear Skin Serum – formulated for men with oily, breakout-prone skin.

👉 Dry Skin

Look for:

  • Hyaluronic acid or aloe vera (to hydrate)

  • Cream-based moisturizers
    Avoid:

  • Harsh cleansers or overuse of exfoliants

Tip: You can still use a serum—just follow with a richer moisturizer.

👉 Combination Skin

Look for:

  • Balancing ingredients like niacinamide

  • Lightweight hydration

  • Spot-treat oily areas with targeted ingredients like witch hazel

👉 Sensitive Skin

Look for:

  • Chamomile, lavender, and aloe

  • Fragrance-free and alcohol-free formulas
    Avoid:

  • Strong exfoliants, menthol, or high concentrations of actives

DAPR’s serum includes calming botanicals like chamomile, aloe, and lavender—making it suitable even for reactive skin.
