Feeling oily over certain parts of your face, such as the nose, forehead, and chin – commonly known as the T-zone, but dry everywhere else? Having this mix of skin types is a sign that you might have combination skin – a complicated skin type that isn’t easy to deal with. As most skincare treatments on the market are formulated to treat either oily or dry skin only, looking for that one product that will work for your skin type can be tricky.
Fret not! There are face washes that can do the trick. Here’s our experts’ list of the best face washes specifically made for your combination skin type!
1) FIRST AID BEAUTY FACE CLEANSER
Having a combination type of skin can be hard because you both have the bad extremes of dryness and oiliness. The First Aid Beauty Pure Skin Face Cleanser, Sensitive Skin Cream Cleanser with Antioxidant Booster is perfect for both oily and dry skin. It is sulfate-free and fragrance-free so the ingredients are concentrated in battling the oiliness and dryness of your skin. It maintains the balance of your skin’s ph. What we love about this product is it is cruelty-free and vegan. There are no harmful ingredients in this product so you are sure you are getting the best for your skin.
2) MARIO BADESCU GLYCOLIC FOAMING CLEANSER
There are great facial cleansers but there is a type of facial cleanser that takes your skincare routine to a whole new level. Foaming cleansers are both powerful and gentle in cleansing. We love the foam texture and how it gently removes dirt and makeup when you lather it on your skin. The Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser has glycolic acid that effectively exfoliates the skin without scrubbing the skin or roughing it up. It makes your skincare routine fun and relaxing. The foaming cleanser is perfect for sensitive skin too because it does not scrub or damage the surface of the skin.

3) FRESH SOY FACE CLEANSER
The Fresh Cleanser is a multifunction facial cleanser that is made of soy proteins which help promote your skin’s capability to maintain and retain moisture, firmness, and elasticity. It also has cucumber extract and rose water that soothes dry, irritated skin. The regular use of this facial cleanser can help balance both your oily t-zone and dry cheeks. It is a great everyday cleanser that battles a combination type of skin because it keeps hydration intact. Hydration is key to battling both oily and dry skin because it prevents your skin from losing moisture, or overcompensating by producing excess sebum.

The La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel Cleanser Oily Skin is perfect for oily skin and acne-prone dry skin. It has a gel formula that makes it soothing and cool on the skin. It is oil-free, alcohol-free, and soap-free that prevents irritation from those ingredients. It balances the skin’s ph and it is formulated with Zinc which is the secret ingredient to beautiful, clear skin. If you are new to this knowledge, Zinc intake whether topical or through oral supplements can help prevent breakouts and clear skin of blemishes. What is great about this is it has a rich lather that makes it enjoyable to use every day.
