Personalize your skincare routine: which products suit your skin type?

Many people follow standard routines or are guided by trends. However, that doesn't work for everyone. A product that's popular on social media can actually irritate your skin or disrupt its barrier. An effective skincare routine always starts with your own skin.

That's why Prescription developed the AI Skin Scan : a digital tool that analyses your skin and creates a personal routine based on scientific insights and expert assessments.

Why a personal skincare routine is important

Every skin is unique. What works for oily skin can actually be harmful to dry or sensitive skin.
Ingredients react differently to different skin types. For example, vitamin C helps with pigment spots, but can quickly irritate those with rosacea.
A consistent routine is easier to maintain. Consistency is essential for skin improvement.

Personal advice therefore prevents overload, ineffective combinations and product waste.

How does the Prescription AI Skin Scan work?

The AI Skin Scan analyzes your skin in just a few minutes. The process is as follows:

You complete a short online skin analysis.
The AI compares your answers with clinical data and scientific insights.
You will immediately receive a personal routine with products and steps that suit your skin needs.

The final recommendations are reviewed by skin experts, including Dr. David Mosmuller and Dr. Tjinta Brinkhuizen , who also use Prescription in their clinical treatments.

Examples of routines per skin type

Dry skin

Cleansing: mild, moisturizing cleanser
Actives: hyaluronic acid, niacinamide
Extra focus: ceramides to support the skin barrier

Dr. Brinkhuizen's tip: "Avoid harsh cleansers. They strip away essential lipids and can worsen dryness."

Oily skin

Cleansing: light gel cleanser
Actives: salicylic acid (BHA), niacinamide
Extra focus: sebum regulation without drying out the skin

Tip from skin therapist Sacha Sommers: “Balance and consistency help prevent overproduction of sebum.”

Combination skin

Cleansing: mild cleanser; if necessary, double cleanse in the evening
Actives: combination of moisturizing and sebum-regulating ingredients
Extra focus: targeted approach to different areas, such as an oily T-zone and dry cheeks
