Care for combination skin

The T-zone – forehead, nose, chin – has a higher density of sebaceous glands than the cheeks. This is not a malfunction but anatomy. It becomes problematic when sebum production gets out of balance: pores appear larger, blemishes form, and shine returns quickly.

Niacinamid regulates sebum production and visibly refines the appearance of pores. Salicylic acid (BHA) is oil-soluble and can penetrate deep into the pores – ideal for occasional targeted use. Zinc reduces inflammatory reactions and helps clarify the skin's appearance.

Important: Do not over-dry. If the skin becomes too dry, it increases sebum production as a protective reaction – which is the opposite of the goal.

The key for combination skin is the order and texture – not necessarily more products. Gentle cleansing morning and evening removes excess sebum and residues without attacking the barrier. Foaming cleansers can be suitable for combination skin as long as they do not strip too much.

Then apply a water-based serum with balancing active ingredients to the entire face. Follow with a light, non-comedogenic cream. Apply sparingly on the T-zone – a bit more generously on the cheeks.

Peels once a week clarify pores and visibly improve the skin’s appearance. Sun protection Daily – preferably as a light fluid – completes the routine. Fewer products, used consistently, are more effective for combination skin than many consecutive layers.
