Combination skin

Combination skin is oily in some places, usually the T-zone, and normal or dry in others. Keep your everyday routine light and gentle, then treat each area on its own: exfoliate only where it’s oily, and add extra cream only where it feels tight.

How to build your routine

Three essentials are enough to start. Extras are optional, one at a time. Pick any products below that match.

What helps combination skin

Combination skin often shifts with the seasons. Many people need a lighter cream in summer and a richer one in winter, so adjust as you go.
