Combination skin is oily in the T-zone and normal-to-dry on the cheeks, so the goal is balance — lightweight but hydrating, controls oil without stripping. Full routine steps are in the combination-skin routine; here is what to *buy*.
What to look for, step by step
- Cleanser — a gentle gel that removes oil without leaving cheeks tight. Brands like CeraVe and COSRX do this well. See face-wash guide.
- Serum — niacinamide is the ideal combination-skin active (balances oil, evens tone). See best niacinamide.
- Moisturiser — a gel-cream or lightweight lotion (hydrates the cheeks, does not clog the T-zone). See moisturiser guide.
- Sunscreen — a light, non-greasy SPF50+ that does not turn oily by midday. See the sunscreen guide.
Trusted brands for combination skin in BD
CeraVe, COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Anua, Isntree all make lightweight, barrier-friendly options that suit combination skin. Match to *your* balance — lean lighter if your T-zone is very oily.
The one thing to get right
Do not treat the whole face as oily. Stripping the cheeks makes them flaky while the T-zone over-produces oil. Multi-moisturise (lighter T-zone, richer cheeks) instead.
Avoid fakes
CeraVe, COSRX and Beauty of Joseon are heavily counterfeited in BD — a fake wastes your money and can harm skin. See real vs fake checklist.

Frequently asked questions
Where can I buy a genuine niacinamide serum for combination skin in Bangladesh?
Buy from a seller who can show the importer's invoice and batch number for that serum. TheSkinProof matches serums against the importer's invoice and batch before listing them.
How do I check if a gel cream moisturizer for combination skin is genuine?
Check that the batch code on the jar matches the box, and compare the texture to what you expect from a genuine gel cream, since fakes can feel greasier or thinner. Treat a broken seal or unexpected irritation right after opening it as a warning sign.
What signs suggest a combination-skin moisturizer might be fake?
A mismatched batch code between the jar and box, blurry label printing, and a texture that separates or feels off compared to a genuine product are common signs. Unusual stinging right after you start using it is also worth noting.
