  1. Cleanse your skin gently. (AM and PM)

    2. These cleansers get rid of your oil build-up, without drying your skin out.

  2. Hydrate (AM and PM)

    3. Hyaluronic acid has lots of benefits and is a main component in our skin structure. It's very moisturizing and has anti-aging effects. The express "acid" might scare a lot of people off, but this ingredient doesn't cause allergic reactions because our bodies produce it. It's great to apply it before your other serums because it helps to seal in moisture. Apply it generously on your dry skin patches.

  3. Treat (AM and/or PM)

    4. Both niacinamide help to regulate oil-production. Apply either one of these ingredients onto your oily skin patches.

  4. Moisturize (AM and PM)

    5. Combination requires two different types of moisturizers, which can be annoying but is the most helpful. For your oily zones use a light-weight water-based formula. For the dry skin zones use a creamy moisturizer like the lipikar baume from la roche-posay.

  5. SPF (AM)

    6. For your SPF we chose a sunscreen that controls shine. Since the centre of your face gets quite oily it can be difficult to find a good spf.
