Personally, I look more at the ingredients of the products than for which skin type they market to. Mainly because I have sensitive skin and I have learned the hard way that leaving out scent and perfume from the ingredients doesn’t necessarily make my skin like it. My skin can also be dehydrated, but very oily at times was also confusing. So for me hydration is key to tackle most of my issues. What helped me was a lot of trial and error. But to save time and money, I would definitely recommend the book “Let’s face it” by Rio Viera-Newton. It helped me understand the different basic ingredients and skin needs and how to recognise and tackle them.

Agreed! I would say "skin types" is a made up term to make marketing products easier. In reality it's much more complicated than that. (And thanks for the book tip, now I got something new to read 😍)
Hey, I just wanna say that I appreciate your efforts at moderating this sub and I've noticed a lot of really helpful comments. Have a nice day. 🙂
Thank you, I really appreciate that! Lemmy is currently mostly filled with tech and similar topics so I hope communities like ours can make Lemmy more appealing to a broader demographic of people. And of course I'm obsessed with skincare so I'm happy to moderate here ☺️
