Excess Oil
Overactive oil production can leave skin feeling greasy through the day, especially across the forehead, nose, and chin.
Dermaki routine guide
Oily and combination skin care for a clear, balanced finish.
Support shine-prone, congested, or mixed-zone skin with gentle clarifying care, lightweight hydration, barrier support, and consistent oil-balancing routines.
Recognize oily and combination skin.
These skin types often share shine, visible pores, and congestion, but combination skin needs balanced care across oily and drier zones.
Visible Pores
Oil and buildup can make pores appear larger, especially around the nose, cheeks, and T-zone.
Breakout-Prone
Blackheads, whiteheads, and blemishes can recur when oil, debris, and dead skin are trapped in pores.
Mixed Zones
Combination skin may feel oily in the T-zone while the cheeks or eye area feel normal, dry, tight, or reactive.
Routine strategy
Balance oil without stripping the skin.
Oily skin still needs hydration and barrier support. The goal is to clarify buildup, manage shine, and keep the skin comfortable so it does not feel tight or over-dried.
Combination skin responds best to a targeted routine: clarify the T-zone, support drier areas, and adjust weekly treatments by zone instead of treating the entire face the same way every day.
Keep active treatment steps consistent, but introduce exfoliation and clay masking gradually so the skin stays balanced.
Daily routine.
A morning routine helps manage daytime shine, while evening care focuses on deeper cleansing, texture, and breakout support.
Morning
- Clarifying Cleanser: Cleanse with a formula featuring zinc oxide, green tea, and tamanu oil.
- Clarifying Mist: Mist with Copaiba, tea tree, and oregano oil to refresh and support oil-prone skin.
- Clarifying Serum: Apply a lightweight serum with Vitamin A, retinyl palmitate, and tamanu oil.
- Daily Facial Moisturizer: Use lightweight hydration to keep skin comfortable without a heavy finish.
- Sun Protection: Use Barrier Repair for most environments, and Mineral Shield during stronger summer exposure.
Evening
- Clarifying Face & Body Bar: Start with a clarifying cleanse to remove surface oil and buildup.
- Exfoliating Cleanser: Follow with mandelic-acid cleansing support for texture and congestion.
- Balance: Apply after cleansing to help maintain healthy hydration with a lightweight, non-greasy finish.
- Clarifying Complex: Use as a treatment step for breakout-prone areas and recurring blemishes.
- Nourish: Finish with moisture support where the skin needs comfort, especially on drier combination zones.
Extras for oily and combination skin.
Use weekly treatments to manage buildup, absorb excess oil, and support clearer-looking skin without over-treating.
Exfoliating Powder
Use 2-3 times per week. Pearl powder, charcoal, and turmeric help polish surface buildup and support clearer-looking pores.
Clay Mask
Use 1-2 times per week to help absorb excess oil, detoxify congested areas, and soothe the skin.
Clarifying Complex
Use on active breakout areas, or apply more broadly where recurring congestion needs preventative support.
Professional note
Adjust by area, not just by skin type.
For combination skin, clay mask or clarify only the T-zone when cheeks feel dry or sensitive. For oily skin that feels tight after cleansing, reduce exfoliation frequency and strengthen lightweight moisture support.
Mineral Shield is the stronger summer sun-protection option listed in the routine, while Barrier Repair remains the everyday choice for most conditions.
