Skin Type Solutions, Inc. is comprised of a group of international dermatologists that have joined together in order to collaborate on skincare product research and cosmetic dermatology procedures. We do clinical research studies and surveys in order to determine which skin care products and procedures are efficacious for each of the 16 Baumann Skin Types™. 

Once visitors to www.SkinTypeSolutions.com have identified their Baumann Skin Type, we include them in our research in order to determine which skincare products and procedures are best suited to their needs. Once the skin type quiz is completed, they also receive educational information about their skin type’s unique concerns. Our goal is to provide unbiased, educated advice not only for consumers, but for beauty writers, cosmetic chemists, and others interested in the field of cosmetic dermatology and cosmeceutical science.

The Baumann Skin Typing System was developed by dermatologist Dr. Leslie Baumann, MD based on her years of research and clinical experience in the field of cosmetic dermatology. The patent pending Baumann Skin Typing System is the only scientifically validated skin typing system that is recognized and used by doctors around the world to accurately diagnose skin type.

Dr. Baumann is the author of the leading cosmetic dermatology textbook in world,Cosmetic Dermatology (McGraw Hill), and she also performed the FDA research trials that led to the approval of many cosmetic products and procedures including Botox, Dysport, Juvéderm and Sculptra. She is the author of the New York Times bestseller, The Skin Type Solution (Bantam 2005, 2010), which was nominated for the Books for a Better Life award. The Baumann Skin Typing System is the subject of the PBS television special Skin Type Solutions with Dr. Leslie Baumann.
