Broad-spectrum UV allows this product to function as both a sunscreen and moisturizer. Last, but certainly not least, the prebiotic ingredients help to restore and support the skin’s microbiome, optimizing its biologic function as a protectant against the environment and pollution.”

Garnier Moisture Bomb The Antioxidant Super Moisturizer

“People with combination skin prefer a moisturizer that feels non-greasy and lightweight, but is still hydrating enough for the dry areas of the skin. This Garnier moisturizer feels very light, absorbs quickly without a sticky feeling, and is formulated with hyaluronic acid to hydrate skin. It also provides broad-spectrum SPF 30 protection against UV damage, and is packed with beneficial antioxidants and Vitamin C and E.”

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

To buy: $127, dermstore.com

“Most people with combination skin types tend to be oilier in the T-zone and drier on the cheeks. I recommend the Skinceuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, which contains ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids to help add moisture back to dry, irritated skin.”

EltaMD PM Therapy Facial Moisturizer

To buy: $33, dermstore.com

“Combination skin is difficult because it can be acne-prone, but also dry. You need an oil-free, medium-weight moisturizer without heavy ingredients that could block pores or exacerbate acne. One great product for evening is EltaMD’s PM Therapy. It is oil- and fragrance-free, so it won’t clog pores. It also contains calming ingredients that restore balance, and ceramides to nourish and hydrate the skin.”
—Jennifer MacGregor, MD, a dermatologist based in New York City
