Your Skin, Read Across Four Axes.
4 Questions, 16 Possibilities.

Oily

The skin produces noticeable sebum (natural oil) throughout the day; shine and more visible pores stand out in the afternoon, especially in the T-zone. For this pole, Klaris highlights lightweight, water-based, pore-friendly formulas, with an extra-care note when heavy occlusive oils appear near the top of the ingredient list.

Dry

The skin produces limited sebum; tightness shortly after washing, a dull appearance and seasonal flaking may occur. For this pole, Klaris highlights barrier-friendly fatty acids, ceramides and emollients, with extra care when harsh sulphate cleansers or high levels of alcohol appear near the top of the ingredient list.

Sensitivity-Prone

The skin tends to react more readily to new products, fragrance or strong actives; redness, tingling or a feeling of warmth are frequently reported. For this pole, Klaris highlights soothing ingredient families. Extra-care notes become more prominent for fragrance and essential oils, high-strength acids, and combinations of several strong actives.

Resilient

The skin tolerates most ingredients relatively comfortably; reactions are rare. For this pole, Klaris considers actives such as acids, retinoids and vitamin C with fewer reservations. Still, 'resilient' does not mean anything goes: the whole formula, concentration and ingredient-list position are considered together.

Dark Spot-Prone

The skin is more prone to the appearance of uneven tone, such as dark spots or darkening after blemishes, due to sun exposure, marks or hormonal factors. For this pole, Klaris highlights tone-supporting actives (niacinamide, vitamin C, arbutin and azelaic acid) and sun protection as worth looking for, in the context of tone appearance and without skin-whitening claims.

Even-Toned

The skin tone is relatively even, with no prominent tendency towards dark spots. For this pole, Klaris treats tone maintenance and sun protection as sufficient. It does not emphasise a need for aggressive dark-spot actives and takes a measured view of the formula as a whole.

Wrinkle-Prone

The appearance of fine lines and elasticity is a prominent concern for the user. For this pole, Klaris highlights retinoid, peptide and antioxidant families as worth looking for, and emphasises sun protection as a foundation for supporting the skin's appearance.

Firm

Visible lines or loss of elasticity are not prominent. For this pole, Klaris highlights a preventive approach with sun protection and antioxidants. It does not consider an early or aggressive move towards high-strength anti-ageing actives necessary.
