Skincare routine for combination skin

Cleansers, toners and serums with niacinamide, salicylic acid and willow bark extract help control oil in the T-zone and tighten up enlarged pores. Moisturizers and sunscreens with hyaluronic acid, squalane and ceramides bring soothing moisture to dry cheeks.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while the skin rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps like exfoliation and masks for combination skin.
