Combination skin

Ideally, skin care for combination skin is formulated to be applied all over the face. Prof. Dr. Steinkraus has taken this specific need into account in his care concept – and has formulated, among other things, a face cream for combination skin that nourishes and soothes dry patches, while moisturizing and regulating the quickly oily T-zone. Combination skin can be particularly well balanced with a skincare routine ideally tailored to it.

Determination of combination skin and care that helps

Of course, the definition of combination skin is already in its name – it's comprised of two distinct skin types, meaning that the skin has large pores, is oily, and is prone to blemishes in some areas, and is prone to dryness and sensitivity in others. Other characteristics to consider when caring for combination skin include the following:

• Tendency to impurities
• Enlarged pores in the T-zone area (forehead, nose, chin)
• Possible dryness wrinkles

When it comes to combination skin care, this means that it shouldn't be too rich – a very lipid-rich cream could be too heavy, especially in the T-zone. The most important goal in combination skin care is to restore the skin's balance. Prof. Dr. Steinkraus's product range offers a select range of active ingredients with clinically proven effectiveness. This means that even combination skin can be treated with a product that works well.

Product selection: Care for combination skin by Prof. Dr. Steinkraus

Because combination skin is typically characterized by an oily T-zone and dry cheeks, it places high demands on the right care. A routine that cares for your combination skin might include the following products:

• (04) Cleansing Gel
  A mild, non-drying cleanser in the morning and evening is the best choice for ridding your sometimes oily combination skin of sebum, makeup residue, and all other dirt particles. This way, it is deeply cleansed without irritation.
• (01) Face Care Light/(02) Face Care Medium
  For combination skin types, Prof. Dr. Steinkraus's range offers two options – as a light balm with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, heather, and vitamin E, or as a richer care product for combination skin, which has a slightly increased lipid content and thus promises a nourishing, protective effect.
• (05) Hyaluronic Serum
  Balancing and moisturizing, a good hyaluronic serum is ideal for both the oily T-zone and the dry cheek area. Likewise, the combination of all three molecular sizes of hyaluronic acid in Prof. Dr. Steinkraus' serum delivers intensive moisture at various skin depths—for comprehensive care.
• (06) Vitamin A Serum
  Retinol is one of the most researched active ingredients of all—and also one of the most versatile. Vitamin A's cell-protecting and sebum-regulating effects support skin regeneration, which has a positive effect on pore size, any imperfections, and skin texture.
• (07) Vitamin C Serum
  A potent vitamin C serum like the one from Prof. Dr. Steinkraus is ideal for the care of combination skin. It has antioxidant and brightening effects and supports healthy collagen production.

Prof. Dr. Steinkraus: Care for combination skin based on dermatological experience

Prof. Dr. Steinkraus has a long-standing background in dermatology—which is why the product portfolio of the skincare brand named after him (and developed by him) is not only driven by a keen interest in the skin itself, but also in the science surrounding it. This allows even the most complex combination skin to be treated with care that can improve its appearance in the long term.
