combination skin
Your skin type is combination if
• Your skin gets moderately oily a few hours after cleansing
• You typically have excess oil on your t-zone, and dryness on your cheeks
• You see visible t-zone pores
• Your experience occasional clogged pores or breakouts
“The dry/oily duality of combination skin is often affected by seasonal shifts, becoming more dry in winter and more oily in summer. Make sure your at-home agenda flexes when needed – for example, adding in a hyaluronic acid serum like moisture x10 to give skin an extra boost of hydration in the winter.”

Best Ingredients for Combination Skin
Target and rebalance combination skin – without causing dry areas to get drier, or oily areas to get oilier with these ingredients:
Sodium PCA
a skin-softening, moisture-binding humectant that helps replenish skin in the areas that need it most (like cheeks)
Xylitylglucoside, Anhydroxylitol + Xylitol
a vegetable-derived, anti-dehydration sugar blend that reserves water circulation and reinforces skin’s barrier
Adaptogens
natural herbs (like ginseng, gotu kola, dong quai or watercress) that work to naturally balance and strengthen the skin.
Best Facial for Combination Skin
Triple Corrective Enzyme Facial
Removes aging dead cells, awakens dullness and targets problem pores with active, proteolytic enzymes. Combination skin will greatly benefit from its dual Clinical Enzyme Exfoliation and Customized Power Mask. In three corrective activity tiers designed to deliver personalized results. Recommended to be experienced in a facial series for optimal visible results.
Combination Skin Pro Tip
Try spot-masking! Apply a corrective treatment mask only where it's needed: Kerafole on t-zone pores, and Collagen Rehab on dry cheeks.
