About Combination
Combination skin means two skin types on one face: an oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) with normal or dry cheeks. The goal is balance, controlling shine where you need to without drying out the rest. These products are chosen for that, from Rs. 1,720 with cash on delivery across Pakistan.
How to tell if you have combination skin
- Your forehead and nose look shiny by midday, but your cheeks feel normal or slightly tight.
- Pores look larger on the nose and chin than on the cheeks.
- A product that suits your T-zone feels too drying on your cheeks, or the other way round.
A simple combination skin routine
| Step | Product | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| Cleanse | Skin Brightening Cleanser | A gentle daily face wash with kojic acid and alpha arbutin that also evens out tone |
| Treat the T-zone | 10% Niacinamide Serum | Regulates oil and minimises pores where you need it, without drying the cheeks |
| Moisturize everywhere | Oil Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion | The middle texture: light on the T-zone, hydrating enough for drier areas |
| Protect | Hydrating Sunscreen SPF 50 | Daily broad-spectrum SPF, non-comedogenic |
Face wash for combination skin
Avoid harsh, high-foam cleansers. They over-dry the cheeks, and the T-zone responds by producing more oil. A mild cleanser used twice a day keeps both areas balanced. If your T-zone is very oily, the Foaming Facial Cleanser is a good alternative.
Moisturizer for combination skin
One well-chosen lotion is usually enough, so you don't need two products. The Oil Free Daily Moisturizing Lotion pairs ceramides with hyaluronic acid: it hydrates drier patches without leaving the T-zone greasy.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best routine for combination skin?
A gentle cleanser, niacinamide on the oily areas, a lightweight moisturizer all over, and SPF every morning. Keep it simple and consistent.
Should I use different products on different areas?
Usually not. Apply niacinamide across the T-zone if you like, but one balanced moisturizer works for the whole face.
Can combination skin use glycolic acid?
Yes, two to three evenings a week. The Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution smooths texture and helps keep T-zone pores clear.
