At Theobroma Beauty , we believe the first step to radiant skin is knowing your skin type . Because dry skin doesn't have the same needs as oily skin, and dull skin can't be treated the same way as blemish-prone skin. By understanding your skin and its condition, you can finally tailor your routine and choose the Theobroma serums that will reveal your natural glow.
Take our online skin diagnosis to discover the routine that suits you perfectly.
The 4 main skin types
Each skin is unique, but we generally distinguish four main categories:
Dry skin
It feels tight, lacks shine, and sometimes has flaky areas. It needs comfort, nutrition, and protection.
Oily skin
It shines easily all over the face due to excess sebum. It is more prone to blemishes and enlarged pores.
Recommended treatment: our Anti-Imperfections Serum , enriched with purifying and balancing active ingredients, for clearer, more mattified skin.
Combination skin
It combines oily areas (often the T-zone: forehead, nose, chin) and drier areas on the cheeks. It requires balancing care.
Normal skin
Balanced, neither too dry nor too oily, without discomfort or excessively shiny areas. It's naturally stable skin.
Whatever your skin type, proper cleansing remains an essential step to maintain its balance, eliminate impurities and prepare the skin to receive care.

Skin Type vs. Skin Condition: Two Different Concepts
It is essential to distinguish skin type from skin condition:
-
Skin type is genetically determined. It remains relatively stable over time.
-
The condition of the skin can change. Climate, stress, hormones, diet or even pollution can temporarily alter its appearance.
Your skin may be naturally oily but temporarily dull or dehydrated. Listening to its needs is essential.
How to easily identify your skin type
Here is a simple home test to do at home:
-
Wash your face with water only, without applying anything afterwards.
-
Wait 30 minutes.
-
Observe the sensations:
-
Do you feel tightness? You have dry skin.
-
Is your face shiny all over? It's oily skin.
-
Is only your T-zone shiny? You have combination skin.
-
No particular sensation, no tightness, no shine? Your skin is normal.
Skin conditions and our targeted solutions
Even if your skin type is well defined, the condition of your skin can vary depending on the season. Here are our tailored solutions:
Skin conditions and our targeted treatments
Dull skin
Tired, dull or lackluster complexion?
Pollution, stress, lack of sleep, and seasonal changes can all alter the skin's natural radiance. To address this, the Radiance Serum acts as a real boost for the complexion.
Its formula combines theobromine , derived from cocoa, to protect the skin from free radicals, with vitamin C , which revives radiance, and vitamin E, which strengthens the skin barrier. Naturally derived AHAs gently exfoliate to smooth skin texture and stimulate cell renewal.
After just 2 weeks , your complexion is visibly fresher, more even, and regains the natural radiance you thought you had lost. Your skin looks rested, smoother, and more vibrant. A must-have for getting that glow-in-the-dark effect without makeup.
Pigmented skin
Brown spots or irregularities?
Uneven skin pigmentation can have several causes: sun exposure, hormonal imbalances, scars, or even skin inflammation. To address these issues, our Anti-Dark Spot Serum combines gentle yet powerful active ingredients, selected for their proven effectiveness.
Lactobionic acid , a new-generation exfoliant, stimulates cell renewal without damaging the skin. It is combined with licorice extract , with natural lightening properties, and white lily , known for its unifying action. Together, they help to visibly fade pigment spots , smooth skin texture and revive the complexion's radiance.
Used daily, the Anti-Dark Spot Serum offers visible results after 2 weeks : the complexion is more even, irregularities are reduced, the skin becomes clearer day after day — gently.
Blemish-prone skin
Pimples, blackheads, imperfections?
The Anti-Imperfections Serum has been formulated to meet the needs of skin prone to spots, blackheads or localized shine. Thanks to the combined action of theobromine , an antioxidant plant active ingredient derived from cocoa, and ginger , known for its purifying and soothing properties, this serum acts on both the causes and the manifestations of imperfections.
It helps rebalance sebum production , reduce redness and promote clearer skin , day after day. Its light, non-greasy texture absorbs quickly without clogging pores. Result: in just 28 days , skin texture is refined, imperfections are visibly reduced and the complexion regains its natural balance.
Bottom line: your skin has the answer
Your skin is changing: listen to it. It may be oily but lack radiance, or it may be combination but have spots. At Theobroma Beauty , we help you target its needs by choosing a serum that's right for your skin type and its current condition .
