The Best Moisturizers for Combination Skin

When it comes to skin types, people with combination skin can have a tough time finding products that best treat their skin concerns. On one hand skin tends to be shiny in the T-zone– forehead, nose, and chin area– and dry and flaky on other portions of the face. That’s why many add a moisturizer to their skincare regimen to help their skin produce less oil throughout the day, without also drying it out. I know what you’re thinking! Doesn’t moisturizer leave your skin feeling greasier? Well, contrary to popular belief, veering away from moisturizer can actually lead to more oil production as the body produces more oil to correct the dryness. With moisturizer not only will you keep oil at bay but you’ll also keep your skin hydrated. How can you say no to that?

To make it a little easier for those on the hunt for a great moisturizer, we’ve compiled a list of some of the moisturizers on the market right now. From face creams that protect your skin from UV rays to a drugstore find under $10, these moisturizer will control shine and treat dryness.
