Wrinkle score well below average (4.98 vs. 6.80 overall) — significant fine lines and early deep wrinkles.

WUTP Skin Type: Meaning, Concerns & Treatments
WUTP is the convergence point of skin aging — wrinkles, enlarged pores, and pigmentation are all present, with acne having long since resolved. It is the dominant skin profile from the 50s onward. Section 2 | Characteristics of WUTP Skin - Wrinkle (W axis) — Wrinkle score well below average (4.98 vs. 6.80 overall) — significant fine lines and early deep wrinkles. - Unflawed (U axis) — Excellent acne score (9.08 vs. 8.19 overall) — no active breakouts. - Texture (T axis) — Below-average pore score (5.30 vs. 6.25) — visibly enlarged pores, especially T-zone and cheeks. - Pigmentation (P axis) — Below-average pigment score (6.05 vs. 6.60) — dark spots, melasma, or uneven tone.
What is WUTP skin?
WUTP is one of the 16 luluTI™ skin profiles. The four letters of WUTP indicate how this type behaves across the four clinical axes: wrinkle/elasticity, acne/unflawed, texture/smooth, and pigmentation/clear.
Four-axis scores for WUTP
Cumulative aging indicator — collagen & elastin decline over time.
Sebum activity & inflammatory response common in young skin (teens–20s).
Structural indicator — sebum history, past acne, elasticity loss.
UV exposure, inflammation & hormonal changes accumulate over time.
Characteristics of WUTP Skin type
Excellent acne score (9.08 vs. 8.19 overall) — no active breakouts.
Below-average pore score (5.30 vs. 6.25) — visibly enlarged pores, especially T-zone and cheeks.
Below-average pigment score (6.05 vs. 6.60) — dark spots, melasma, or uneven tone.
The most common skin type overall — peaks in the 40s+. 85% of people over 60 share this type.
