In short: If your forehead, nose and chin get shiny while your cheeks stay normal or dry, build your routine by zone instead of using the same approach across the whole face: cleansing, hydration and sun protection for the whole face; actives for visible pores and sebum on the T-zone. If your cheeks feel tight, apply acid products there less often.
Which product for which zone?
Combining products
Do not use Glyc-Alright and Slyc-Alright on the same evening, and do not add the night serum Smooth Me All Night or the peel Red Of Love on an evening when you use an acid toner. Add a new active only once your skin has got used to the previous one. AHAs can increase the skin's sensitivity to the sun: apply sunscreen every morning while using this product and for one week after you stop.
What not to expect
Toners and serums do not physically make pores smaller or stop sebum production; the aim is to balance the look of shine on the T-zone without drying out the cheeks. If oiliness spreads across the whole face, see the Oily Skin collection.
