Oily & Combination Skin

Balance excess oil without stripping your skin. This routine helps refine the appearance of pores, manage shine and congestion, while maintaining the hydration your skin needs for a healthy, balanced complexion.

Step 1:  HD Vitamin C Daily Facial Cleanser
Gently cleanse away impurities, makeup and excess oil without leaving the skin feeling dry or stripped.

Step 2: HD Skin Activating Treatment Essence
Helps remove dead skin cells and impurities while preparing the skin for the products that follow. Pay particular attention to oilier areas such as the forehead, nose and chin.

Step 3: HD Vitamin B3 Serum – 10% Niacinamide
A lightweight serum ideal for oily and combination skin. Helps refine the appearance of enlarged pores, balance the complexion and provide essential hydration without feeling heavy.

Step 4: HD 2% Salicylic Acid Serum
Salicylic Acid helps penetrate and unclog pores, remove excess oil and improve the appearance of congestion and blemishes.

Start by using 2–4 evenings per week, particularly on the oily T-zone or congested areas. Increase gradually according to your skin's tolerance. Combination skin does not necessarily require Salicylic Acid over the entire face—focus on the areas that need it most.

Step 5: HD Hydrating Cream
Finish with lightweight hydration to help maintain the skin's moisture balance. Oily skin still needs hydration, and keeping the skin properly moisturised helps support a healthy skin barrier.
