Combination skin kinda feels like that diplomatic friend who listens to both sides but eventually does their own thing which is a culmination of the opinions of the two sides. Now, saying it in simple language, combination skin has traits of both normal or dry skin and oily skin. An easy give away of this is an oily T-zone (area spanning your forehead down to your nose and chin) while the rest of the face experiences a dry spell. To cater to the dual nature of such skin, it is highly essential that you befriend a nice moisturiser for combination skin that keeps the skin hydrated without making it greasy. And here are our recommendations for the same!

A recommendation made by the writer's dermatologist, the Cipla Excela Moisturiser is a great moisturiser for combination to oily skin that's also acne prone. It is non-comedogenic so it won't bother sensitive skin and has niacinamide to help with the excess sebum.  While it claims to leave the skin mattified, we didn't experience it with the formula since its quite moisturising without feeling goopy.

We picked this one up from Anshula Kapoor's skincare dump. It's a water-based gel moisturiser that has a powerhouse of ingredients like niacinamide for brightening, rice water for smoothing texture, matmarine to regulate sebum production, and cactus water to strengthen the skin's barrier. It's specifically meant for oily, blemish prone skin but since it has rice water, it will work well on combination skin's dry patches too!
