Before selecting any of your #skincare product, get to know your skin type then select your products accordingly.

Treating oily skin can be a delicate balancing act. If you attack with products that are too drying, your skin may produce more oil to compensate, leaving you worse off than you started. The secret is to find ingredients that target that bacteria that causes oil production while still hydrating the skin as well.

An exfoliant that is able to smooth and tone without stripping the skin would work the best.

Also formulation added with grapefruit extract and raspberry seed oil, which both have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, and calamine to soothe.

Combination Skin

It can be difficult to find an exfoliator for combination skin types, since it’s possible that you can have both dry and oily patches on your skin. In this case, you should find a product that can buff away dry flakes, while controlling oil production. The formulation which contains glycolic and lactic acids is a great choice.
