Depending on your answers to the combination skin quiz, our AI algorithm may recommend any number of clinically proven ingredients for combination skin.

Typically, most people notice that their T-zone (the central part of the face, which includes the chin, nose, and forehead) is oily, while the rest of the face is dry. Consider the following indicators to determine whether you have a combination type:

• Frequent acne breakouts in the T-zone
• Larger, more visible pores in the T-zone
• Dull, rough skin on the nose and chin (caused by a buildup of dead skin cells)
• Flaking on the nose and chin
• Dry skin around the eyes and on the cheeks
• Noticeable dry, flaking patches on the cheeks

In addition, if you have ever experienced both acne breakouts and dry skin patches at the same time, you have the combination type.

Causes of the combination type

The most significant cause of combination skin is genetics. If your parents or grandparents have it, you are more likely to have it too. And while you can’t change this, you can adjust how you care for your skin. As noted above, the environment can also play a role. Your skin may tend more toward oily during the summer, when high humidity levels increase sweating and sebum production. This causes the accumulation of bacteria in the pores, which leads to increased breakouts. On the other hand, cold weather tends to dry out the skin. As soon as you turn on your heat during the winter, the humidity level drops. The lower humidity levels cause worsening skin flaking and inflammation.

It’s also possible for your combination type of skin to be caused by hormones. Your hormone levels can fluctuate due to several issues, from stress to medications to major life changes (e.g., pregnancy and menopause). Hormonal fluctuations may result in increased sebum production in the T-zone, along with dry patches on other areas of your skin.

Your unique skin type can be challenging to care for, and the problem with most products is that they are not formulated for your specific needs. That’s why we’ve introduced the PROVEN method. Every product is formulated specifically for each individual, taking into consideration their environment, lifestyle, and skincare needs. Grounded in science, our products are clinically proven to be effective with continued use. Seize control of your skincare routine today.
