If you have combination skin, you’ll want to reach for a cleanser that washes away dirt and excess oil without stripping your skin of its natural moisture. We recommend a lightweight foaming formula, like Calendula Deep Cleansing Foaming Face Wash. This top-rated facial cleanser is formulated with calendula extract and glycerin to deeply clean without over-drying the skin. You can use it day and night to wash away impurities for an instantly refreshed, revitalized appearance.

Kiehl’s Expert Tip: For proper skincare for every skin type, skip the hot water, which can dehydrate the skin and worsen irritation. Instead, wash your face with lukewarm water to minimize dryness and keep your skin looking its best.

We’ve said it once, and we’ll say it again: A healthy skin barrier is crucial for healthy-looking skin. To keep your barrier functioning properly, reach for a lightweight hydrating serum, like Vital Skin-Strengthening Hyaluronic Acid Super Serum. This effective formula stars 11kDa hyaluronic acid, an engineered form of hyaluronic acid that penetrates the skin’s deeper layers. It also boasts a blend of protective adaptogenic herbs, including red ginseng root. Together, these powerful ingredients help neutralize the effects of damaging external aggressors, like pollution and UV exposure.

With regular use, it’s clinically-demonstrated to double skin’s strength, minimize the appearance of fine lines, and improve skin texture.* Despite its potency, this unique formula is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. We recommend using it morning and night for more radiant, healthy-looking skin.

The skin around your eyes is quite different from the skin on the rest of your face. It’s thinner, more delicate, and more likely to show signs of aging prematurely. As such, it’s vital to use products specifically formulated for this area, like the best-selling Avocado Eye Cream. This unique formula contains shea butter and avocado oil to hydrate and instantly improve the look of under-eye skin texture. It’s suitable for all skin types and clinically-demonstrated to de-puff the under-eye area for a brighter, more revived appearance.**

Kiehl’s Expert Tip: When using an eye cream or serum, don’t rub it in. Instead, use your ring finger to lightly pat the formula on to minimize pulling or stretching the delicate skin.

Ideally, skincare for everyone—regardless of skin type—should address specific complexion concerns, like dryness or acne. Those with combination skin, however, have the unique challenge of tackling two conflicting concerns at once. That’s where multi-masking comes in.

As the name implies, multi-masking involves using different treatment masks on separate areas of the face to address those areas’ specific skincare needs. As such, it’s ideal for those with combination skin, who may have an oily t-zone and super-dry cheeks (for example).

To balance oily or acne-prone areas, we recommend Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleansing Mask. This top-rated formula contains Amazonian white clay and aloe vera to draw out pore-clogging dirt, oil, and other impurities. It helps reduce skin’s surface oil production by 46.7%, which visibly minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores for a more refined appearance.***

For dry areas, reach for a moisturizing mask, like Avocado Nourishing Hydration Mask. It’s formulated with avocado fruit extract and evening primrose oil to condition and nourish the skin. The creamy formula also helps seal in moisture to prevent future water loss for softer, more supple skin.
