Combination Skin
Struggling with dry patches and oily shine? That’s combination skin.
What is Combination Skin?
Oily + Dry Zones
Shine in your T-zone, dryness on your cheeks.
Large Pores & Shine
Pores look bigger and skin appears shiny.
Blackheads & Whiteheads
Breakouts often appear in oily areas.
Dry Patches + Acne
Flaky spots and blemishes at the same time.
Why you’re dry here but shiny there
- The T zone makes more oil. That creates shine and pores look bigger.
- The cheeks make less oil. The barrier is weaker so flakes and tightness show up.
- Common triggers are weather changes, hot showers, harsh cleansers, and stress.
Bottom line is to clean gently, moisturize every day, and spot treat oily areas.

Frequently asked questions
What is combination skin?
Combination skin has an oilier T-zone and drier cheeks. You may see shine through the nose and forehead while the sides of the face feel tight or flaky.
How do I know if I have it?
You notice midday shine on the nose or forehead. Cheeks feel dry after cleansing. Pores look larger in the T-zone and smaller on the cheeks.
What should my morning routine look like?
Cleanse gently, treat with an antioxidant serum, moisturize lightly, then apply sunscreen.
What should my night routine look like?
Cleanse, treat, then moisturize. Rotate clarifying treatment and retinol on different nights if your skin is sensitive.
How do I moisturize without more shine?
Use a light gel/lotion all over; add a small dab of richer cream to only the dry cheek areas if needed. Look for “non-comedogenic.”
Can I treat acne and dryness at the same time?
Yes, apply acne or clarifying formulas just to the T-zone or spots, keep the rest of the face hydrated, and introduce actives slowly.
