What’s Your Type?

Ever bought a highly recommended skincare product, only to have your skin react with breakouts or dry patches? You’re not alone. In skincare, there is no “one size fits all.” Finding the products that truly benefit you starts with understanding your skin type.

Our skin types are largely determined by genetics, but they can be influenced by our environment, hormones, and age. Here is how to find your type and how Haehani products are designed to support you.

To find your skin type, wash your face with a gentle, neutral cleanser, pat it dry, and leave it completely bare for 30 minutes without applying any products.

• If it feels tight, flaky, or rough, you have dry skin.
• If it looks shiny, greasy, or has visible pores all over, you have oily skin.
• If your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) is shiny but your cheeks are dry, you have combination skin.
• If it feels comfortable, neither tight nor greasy, you have normal skin.
• If it looks red, itchy, or feels like it’s stinging, you have sensitive skin.

Dry skin needs: Your skin barrier produces less natural sebum, leaving it vulnerable to moisture loss. Match it with hydrating, barrier-repairing ingredients. If you struggle with ongoing dryness or flakiness, Barrier Repair Cream uses Panthenol to condition the skin, helping restore softness and hold moisture where you need it most.

Oily skin needs: Overactive sebaceous glands produce excess oil, which can lead to clogged pores and acne. Match it with lightweight, non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) formulas. Oily skin still needs hydration (why oily skin can be dehydrated); stripping it can actually trigger even more oil production. Opt for gel-based moisturizers and sebum-regulating actives like niacinamide.

Combination skin needs: A delicate balance between two opposing concerns. Match it with lightweight layering: focus hydrating, richer products on the cheeks and oil-balancing, lightweight formulas on the T-zone.

Sensitive skin needs: A compromised skin barrier reacts quickly to environmental triggers and harsh ingredients. Match it with gentle, highly soothing formulas designed to calm reactivity. Calming Serum is made with this in mind, pairing Centella Asiatica (Cica) and Panthenol to help soothe the look of redness and comfort stressed skin.

By understanding your skin’s unique personality, you can customize your regimen with products that work with your biology, not against it.
