Combination Skin Type

Combination skin: what it means

Korean skincare for combination skin balances an oily T-zone with drier cheeks, so light hydration usually works better than heavy creams. This collection includes hydrating toners, serums, sheet masks and exfoliating pads from TIAM, Torriden, SKIN1004, Anua and Sungboon Editor, plus a Some By Mi clay mask. If your cheeks run dry, our skincare tips for dry skin can help.

What to look for in products

Niacinamide to balance the T-zone without drying cheeks
Hyaluronic acid for hydration that won't add weight
Lightweight water-based essences and gel-creams
BHA toner pads for spot-use on the T-zone
Balancing toners (alcohol-free)
Sheet masks for targeted treatment

What to avoid

Rich butter-based creams applied all-over
Harsh AHAs on already-dry cheek areas
Stripping foam cleansers that dehydrate the whole face
Skipping moisturizer on the T-zone (it backfires)
