Best Men’s Moisturizers for Combination Skin
What is the best moisturizer for combination skin?
Having combination skin (where it's both oily and dry) can be difficult to manage. In particular, finding the right moisturizer can be a challenge.
Some moisturizers are rich and oil based; great for dry patches but not so much for oily and shiny t-zone area.
Overly moisturising oily areas can accelerate oil production which can lead to large and unsightly pores, white heads and spots.
However, using a moisturizer on combination skin, just designed for oily types may well aggravate drier areas on the face. This can cause dry, tight and flaking skin and significant discomfort.
Thankfully, men with combination skin do have options. We've highlighted the best combination moisturizers on the following list.
