Fitzpatrick skin type quiz
The Fitzpatrick scale describes how skin usually answers to sun: burn, tan, or both. It is a clinical shorthand, not a complete description of your tone or ancestry.
People with deeper skin still burn and still need sunscreen. The type you land on should change reapplication habits, not whether you wear SPF.

Unprotected midday sun on the first bright day:
In the app
Want a record of fitzpatrick quiz, not a one-off?
Fitzpatrick quiz settles the question above. The app is where that decision can be checked against six skin scores over the following weeks.
- Six saved scores: hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness
- A morning and evening routine built from the scan
- The same face, week after week, so a change shows up as a trend
Scan with your phone. iPhone opens the App Store. Android opens Google Play.
The science
What the fitzpatrick quiz quiz decides, and what it leaves alone
- 01
A structured question, not a photo score
A quiz fits when the answer depends on behavior, a label, or a number you already know. A camera cannot see how a product feels, what else is in the routine, or whether a breakout started after a new active.
- 02
How this page reaches a label
The questions cover Unprotected midday sun on the first bright day:; A week of sun usually leaves you:; Freckles on sun-exposed skin:.
Tied answers stay tied. If two labels earn the same weight, both are shown, because forcing a single winner would invent confidence the answers did not have.
- 03
What the label means, and what the app records
The labels it can return include Type I pattern, Type II pattern, Type III pattern, Type IV pattern, Type V pattern, Type VI pattern.
The AISkincare app keeps a scan: hydration, texture, tone, acne, pores, and redness, then builds a morning and evening routine from those scores. This page answers once and does not store the photo.
Use the label to choose a next step, then check it against a scan if the question was about skin rather than about a product or a style.

Where this kind of check runs out
This is a cosmetic self-check for education. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, and not a substitute for a dermatologist or other clinician.
If the honest answer to a prompt is 'it depends' or 'I am in pain,' stop and treat that as the result. The page cannot examine you.
How to use a fitzpatrick quiz result
Answer from unprotected sun in the past, not from a tinted moisturizer. If you always wear sunscreen, use childhood or early adult memory. Borderline answers are normal. Pick the burn history that happens more often.
The labels it can return include Type I pattern, Type II pattern, Type III pattern, Type IV pattern, Type V pattern, Type VI pattern.
How to answer so the label is worth having
Answer for the last two weeks, not for your best week or for a photo you wish you had taken. If a prompt is about a product, use the ingredient list on the bottle you own, not a similar product from another brand.
The questions cover Unprotected midday sun on the first bright day:; A week of sun usually leaves you:; Freckles on sun-exposed skin:.
A label today, a score over the month
Fitzpatrick quiz can be retaken when the routine changes. It will not show whether redness or texture actually moved. That comparison is a scan in the same light, saved in the app.

What the fitzpatrick quiz quiz cannot decide
This is a cosmetic self-check for education. It is not a diagnosis, not a treatment plan, and not a substitute for a dermatologist or other clinician.
It cannot see beneath the skin, predict a reaction to an ingredient you have never used, or replace a clinician for a spreading rash, a changing mark, or painful acne.
How to use the result
- Answer from unprotected sun in the past, not from a tinted moisturizer.
- If you always wear sunscreen, use childhood or early adult memory.
- Borderline answers are normal. Pick the burn history that happens more often.
Where to go from here
If one part of the result stood out, open the tool that asks only that question. Each one states its limit in the same place, and each one links back to a guide when a longer explanation helps.
- Breakout pattern quizSort breakouts into clogged pores, inflamed pimples, or a cyclic jawline pattern so you do not treat every spot the same way.
- Purge or breakoutCompare timing, location, and spot type after a new retinoid so you know whether to hold steady or stop the product.
- Barrier stress checkScore sting, tightness, and sudden redness to see if your barrier needs a pause before another active ingredient.
- Uniform bump quizCompare itch, uniformity, and location to see if bumps behave more like acne or a malassezia-pattern flare. This cannot confirm a yeast.
