I have a dry skin and Touch ID works for me 50% if I'm lucky.

I have sweaty skin and my success rate is at least as bad as yours. I confess to be very surprised at the love for TouchID here. I've used both TouchID and FaceID and I find the success rate of the latter to be much better. Perhaps we, dry and sweaty skins, are edge cases and most people apparently have 'normal' skin?

Also a sweaty skin person here and can confirm, never liked TouchID because of how little it worked for me and was very happy when FaceID came out.
