Finding the best moisturiser for combination skin sounds fairly straightforward on paper, but its actually more of a challenge than one may think. Thats why weve done you the service of scouting high and low for the best moisturisers that will make caring for combination skin that much easier.
From Cerave to Cetaphil, Aveeno to Byoma and La Roche-Posay, there is a range of combination skin moisturisers that will provide your skin with the most care and attention without breaking the bank (or breaking you out, for that matter). You can even get moisturisers with SPF for combination skin, too. Win-win.
With the winter months ahead, finding a moisturiser that will ensure your skin stays supple and soft even with skin-drying weather conditions is definitely a must. Winter weather is no joke no matter what skin type you have, and ensuring that dry skin doesnt get dryer is an important part of any skincare routine. Luckily though, winter moisturisers are also available for combo skin.

What are the signs of combination skin? If you see signs of oiliness in your t-zone (your forehead, down the nose, and to the chin), while your cheeks are dry or tight feeling, then its most likely that you have combination skin, says Marc.
He continues, saying that signs of oiliness can include shiny skin, larger-looking pores, blackheads or whiteheads in the t-zone, and signs of dryness on the cheeks can include flaking, red or rough/tight feeling skin.
Should you use separate moisturisers for combination skin? If youre dealing with both a dry and oily skin type, you might wonder whether or not you should opt for separate moisturisers in your daily routine.
Thankfully though, this is not necessary. Marc says that a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser is perfect for combination skin. He suggests using BYOMAs Gel Cream (as seen above) to tackle this issue. However, moisturisers for dry skin are available if youre looking to address the concern directly.
