Combination Skin Skincare

Combination skin has an oily T-zone (forehead, nose and chin), with normal to dry cheeks. Unlike purely oily or dry skin, which requires one consistent approach, combination skin benefits from a targeted strategy: lightweight, non-comedogenic products on the T-zone and richer formulas on dry areas. Explore the full Clarifique collection to find the best clarifying serum to address T-zone congestion in a combination skin routine.

Hydra Zen Cream is formulated for all skin types, including combination skin, delivering balanced hydration without adding oil to the T-zone. Clarifique Pro-Solution Serum targets T-zone congestion and minimises the appearance of pores. Discover all Lancôme Face serums to find the best treatment serum to apply to the entire face before using zone-targeted moisturisers. For foundation, Teint Idole Ultra Wear provides a semi-matte finish that controls T-zone shine while maintaining comfortable coverage on drier areas.

Yes, multi-zone application is the most effective approach for combination skin. Apply a clay or clarifying mask to the T-zone while using a hydrating sheet mask on the cheeks. Learn how to double cleanse correctly for combination skin to ensure the T-zone is purified without over-stripping the drier cheek areas. This personalised approach respects the different needs of each zone, rather than compromising with one product that performs neither role optimally.

For added hydration, apply a toner or essence to the dry areas of the face. Clarifique Dual Essence penetrates deeply into the skin, delivering an extra boost of hydration to areas of the face that need it most. For combination skin, an essence helps dry areas feel soothed, softer and more hydrated.
