Skin type
Combination skin
An oily T-zone with normal or dry cheeks — two problems on one face.
How it usually shows up
- Forehead, nose and chin turn shiny while cheeks stay matte or tight
- Congestion concentrated in the T-zone
- Cheeks can flake in the same week the T-zone is oily
What tends to be difficult
- A product that suits the T-zone is too harsh for the cheeks, and vice versa
- Skin behaves differently by season
- Hard to judge which routine is actually working
What a routine for this skin type aims to do
Balance oil production and brighten.
The ingredients we build it around
- Niacinamide
- Mandelic Acid
- Tranexamic Acid
- Green Tea Extract
Your own routine is decided by a Skinwise expert after your Skin Check — this is the starting point, not the prescription.
Common mistakes
- Treating the whole face as though it were oily
- Giving up on a routine after a week because one zone reacted
- Using strong clay masks across the entire face rather than only where needed
