Combination skin gets difficult at the cleanser stage because most formulas are built for one extreme or the other. Too strong and the cheeks suffer. Too gentle and the T-zone does not actually get clean. This one is designed for both zones at once. Powered by Green Tea and Mild Surfactants, it works in 7 targeted ways: cleanses evenly, keeps skin balanced, controls T-zone oiliness, preserves the drier zones, delivers antioxidant protection, refreshes skin, stays gentle where it needs to, and delivers a balanced cleanse across the whole face. It leaves the forehead and nose feeling clear without leaving the cheeks feeling tight. That is a harder thing to do than it sounds, and this formula does it.
