Combination skin has an essential problem of balance. Balance of yin and yang (oiliness and dryness; coolness and heat ie redness), balance of excess and depletion (inflamed or enlarged pores against rough, dry unprotected skin), evenness of tone. The solution is to clear heat and harmonize. This category of formulas is made to be cooling and purifying; but also gentle in a way that harmonizes, or balances the complexion back to optimal radiant health.
