Skin Assessment
Find the right products for your skin, before you buy
Not sure which products will actually work for your skin?
Our free online skin assessment asks a short series of targeted questions about your skin type, sensitivity and main areas of concern, then points you toward the products most likely to help.
It takes a few minutes, and it's the first step we recommend before placing an order on our online skincare product store.
About Our Skin Assessment
What is an Online Skin Assessment?
The skin assessment at Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates is a short, guided questionnaire that looks at how your skin behaves day-to-day. It asks about your skin’s reaction to cleansing and moisturiser, how often you notice clogged pores, and whether you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, as these factors affect which ingredients are suitable.
From there, the assessment focuses on your key areas of concern. You’ll be asked whether you’re dealing with sensitivity or redness, pigmentation and dark spots, visible signs of ageing, or none of the above. Depending on your answer, you’ll receive a short set of follow-up questions designed to narrow down your exact skin condition, whether that’s redness linked to a hormonal trigger, dark spots left behind by a healed blemish, or early lines and loss of elasticity.
Once complete, your answers are matched against product options suited to your specific skin concerns, giving you a starting point that’s a good deal more useful than guesswork.
The online tool is a helpful first step, but it isn’t a substitute for a proper in-clinic skin consultation.
For a full picture of your skin, including what’s happening beneath the surface, we recommend pairing your results with an in-clinic VISIA Skin Analysis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Skin Assessment
What does the online skin assessment involve?
The assessment consists of a short series of questions covering your general skin behaviour, such as tightness, shine, and how your skin reacts to moisturiser, followed by questions specific to your main concern.
If you select sensitivity, you’ll be asked about redness, product reactions and visible blood vessels. If you select pigmentation, you’ll be asked about dark spots, sun spots and any prior diagnosis of melasma. If ageing is your focus, we’ll simply confirm your age bracket to refine our product recommendations.
At Dr Nerina Wilkinson + Associates, this process feeds directly into a personalised skincare routine, built by our Skincare Specialists rather than generated by a generic algorithm.

Who should complete an online skin assessment?
Anyone unsure which products suit their skin type or skin condition will benefit from completing the assessment before ordering online.
It’s particularly useful if you’re dealing with acne, inflamed skin, uneven skin tone, dryness or oiliness, or if your current skincare regimen isn’t delivering results.
It’s also a sensible starting point if you’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding, since certain active ingredients aren’t suitable during this time, and the assessment accounts for this before making any suggestion.

How does the skin assessment differ from a VISIA Skin Analysis?
The online skin assessment is a quick questionnaire based on how your skin looks and feels day to day. A VISIA Analysis is a computerised, in-clinic imaging system that photographs your skin under UV and polarised light to measure what’s happening at and beneath the surface, including pore size, texture, sun damage and early pigmentation that isn’t yet visible.
Think of the online assessment as a starting point and the VISIA scan as the detailed picture. The latter comes highly recommended for those looking for a truly personalised skincare treatment and homecare product plan.
Want the full picture? Book your VISIA Skin Analysis at our clinic in the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town.
Is the online skin assessment a skincare consultation?
No. The assessment is designed to point you toward suitable products and relevant treatments based on your answers, but it does not replace a professional skincare consultation.
Conditions such as eczema, active acne, hormonal pigmentation, or any wound or infection of the skin require an in-person assessment by a qualified specialist.
If your results suggest a condition that needs closer attention, we’ll recommend an in-clinic VISIA Skin Analysis consultation, so nothing is left to guesswork.
Your skin deserves an accurate answer, not just a suggestion. Book a consultation with our team.
How much does a VISIA Skin Analysis cost in South Africa?
Pricing for a VISIA Skin Analysis at aesthetic clinics across South Africa generally ranges from R500 to R1 200, depending on whether a consultation is included.
