When consumers search for a skin type calculator, they typically find simple online quizzes that ask about tanning habits or sunburn history. While entertaining, these tools lack the scientific accuracy businesses need to deliver personalized skincare experiences.
For brands, dermatology clinics, medspas, and retailers, understanding skin type is not just curiosity — it’s the foundation of personalized product recommendations, treatment planning, and customer trust. That’s why the industry is moving beyond quizzes and embracing AI skin analysis built on dermatologist-approved standards like the Fitzpatrick skin type scale.
The Limitations of Traditional Skin Type Calculators
Most skin type calculators rely on self-reported answers. This introduces bias and inconsistency — two major challenges for businesses that depend on reliable data to recommend products or plan treatments.
Our research shows that today’s beauty consumers expect personalization rooted in science and accuracy, not guesswork. For businesses, this means adopting solutions that move far beyond the limits of traditional quizzes.
The Fitzpatrick Skin Type Scale: Industry Standard, Now Enhanced with AI
The Fitzpatrick scale, a trusted dermatological classification developed in 1975, categorizes skin into six types (I–VI) based on tone and UV sensitivity. It plays a critical role in product formulation, sun care recommendations, and safe aesthetic treatments.
Perfect Corp. integrated Fitzpatrick classification into the AI Skin Analysis technology, ensuring businesses can provide accurate, dermatologist-aligned results with every analysis.
