Combination skin means an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) with normal-to-dry cheeks. The goal is balance — control oil where it is greasy without stripping the dry areas. Bangladesh humidity makes the T-zone oilier, so lean light.
Morning routine
- Gentle gel or cream cleanser — clears oil without over-drying. See which face wash.
- Niacinamide serum — balances oil across the face. See niacinamide.
- Lightweight moisturiser — a gel-cream; apply a little more on dry cheeks. See which moisturiser.
- Sunscreen SPF50+ — daily. See the sunscreen guide.
Night routine
- Cleanse → optional BHA 2–3×/week on the oily T-zone only (BHA) → moisturiser (a richer layer on cheeks).
Zone-specific tips
- Multi-moisturise: lighter on the T-zone, richer on the cheeks.
- Do not strip the oily areas — harsh drying makes the T-zone produce *more* oil.
- Blotting sheets for midday shine instead of re-washing.
If your whole face is oily instead, see the oily-skin routine; if tight and flaky all over, the dry-skin routine.

Frequently asked questions
Does Bangladesh's humidity change how combination skin should be treated?
During humid months the oily T-zone often needs an even lighter gel moisturiser, while the drier cheeks may still need a bit more hydration. Blotting the T-zone midday instead of adding more product helps keep things balanced.
Where can I buy an authentic niacinamide serum for combination skin in Bangladesh?
Buy from a seller who can show the importer's invoice and batch number for that serum. Matching the batch code on the bottle to the seller's listing is a simple way to confirm it before ordering.
How can I tell if a niacinamide serum is genuine?
Genuine niacinamide serum is usually thin and watery with little to no colour; a noticeably thick texture or yellowish tint can be a sign of a different or degraded formulation. Match the batch code on the bottle to the outer box as an extra check.
