Your Skin Type:
Lucky you! You have skin that rarely succumbs to dryness, oiliness, breakouts, or irritation. That means you have plenty of options when it comes to skin care.
Plus, you can keep it as simple or elaborate as you’d like while focusing on prevention rather than treating problem areas.
Normal skin top tips
1. Look for a vitamin C serum that contains
hyaluronic acid. This provides a dose of hydration plus defense from free radicals, which lead to fine lines.
2. If you’re prone to hyperpigmentation, niacinamide
will have your back. It’s often an ingredient in serums
and is safe for all skin tones.
3. Follow up with your favorite face oil or moisturizer
to help lock in active ingredients.
If you have normal skin,
you may experience acne.
Try the derm-approved Neutrogena® Stubborn Acne AM to PM Treatment to clear and prevent breakouts.
If you have combination skin,
you may experience acne.
Try the derm-approved Neutrogena® Stubborn Acne AM to PM Treatment to clear and prevent breakouts.

Ultimate Skin Care Routine for Combination Skin.
1. Target oily areas with a clay or charcoal mask once or twice a week to help remove buildup.
2. Slather on serum or toner that promotes cell turnover like alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or its gentler cousin mandelic acid (it's less likely to lead to hyperpigmentation, especially on dark skin tones).
3. Hydrate with products containing humectants, like hyaluronic acid. Then boost and protect the skin barrier with a nonclogging emollient, like rosehip seed oil (skip the T-zone if it gets too greasy).
Combination skin top tips
Combination skin means you likely have some regions that act oily, especially the T-zone, while others feel
dry as the Sahara.
Anyone can experience combination skin, and many people do. It means you may need to treat the regions
of your face a bit differently.

Ultimate Skin Care Routine for Oily Skin.
1. To treat oily skin, use a clay or charcoal mask once
or twice a week to remove buildup.
2. Slather on serum or toner that promotes cell turnover like alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) or its gentler cousin mandelic acid (it's less likely to lead to hyperpigmentation, especially on dark skin tones).
3. Don’t shy away from protective emollients after using acne fighters or other active ingredients. For instance, niacinamide helps build proteins in the skin, lock in moisture, and boost the lipid barrier.
Oily skin top tips
Oily skin is characterized by larger pores and more sebum. The good news about oily skin is that it’s less prone to fine lines and wrinkles.
On the other hand, you may occasionally battle breakouts and blackheads.

If you have dry or sensitive skin, you may benefit from a hydrating moisturizer.

to care for dry skin?
Check out the
Ultimate Skin Care Routine for Dry Skin.
1. To treat dry, sensitive skin, hydrate with products
containing humectants, like hyaluronic acid. Some
research suggests that boosting hydration can make skin
less sensitive to products.
2. Seek out a product with niacinamide, which pulls double duty by reducing redness, blotchiness, fine lines, and transepidermal water loss.
3. For extra protection and dry skin relief, lock in all your active ingredients with a powerhouse occlusive product — especially overnight. Then skip cleanser in the morning.
If dry skin is persistently itchy or flaky, talk with a dermatologist. You could be experiencing a condition like eczema or psoriasis, both of which can appear silver,
gray, or purple on dark skin tones.
Dry or sensitive skin top tips
Dry skin, known as xerosis, can occur temporarily, but if you’re frequently experiencing tightness, itchiness,
or flakiness, dry skin may be your overall type.
It may also go hand in hand with sensitive skin, which
can be prone to itching, stinging, burning, or blotchiness when exposed to certain products, weather changes,
or other irritants.
Before starting your skin care routine, always patch test new products before applying to a larger area to ensure you don’t have an allergic reaction.
