Combination Skin
Combination skin reflects a dual imbalance in skin physiology, where sebum-rich and lipid-deficient zones coexist, often accompanied by localised inflammation, impaired barrier dynamics, and microbial heterogeneity. This uneven profile results in simultaneously oily and dry areas, reactivity in the T-zone, and reduced skin harmony overall. Underlying contributors include sebum dysregulation, altered desquamation, and immune reactivity—often fluctuating with hormonal, dietary, or environmental factors.
AWvi addresses combination skin by targeting the core systems that regulate skin balance: barrier cohesion, immune tone, and microbial ecology. Each solution engages a specific pathway—internally or externally—underlying the compartmentalised dysfunctions of combination skin. Together, they recalibrate surface physiology, reduce reactivity, and promote a more stable and synchronised skin environment.

Targeted Mechanisms of Action
The Skin Biotic
CORE ESSENTIAL – Fundamental to restore or maintain physiological skin function
The Skin Biotic addresses the systemic contributors to combination skin, including immune fluctuation, microbiome imbalance, and inflammatory signals that influence sebum production and skin renewal. It combines three proprietary Lactobacillus strains, prebiotics, and bioavailable Retinol and D-Biotin.
Its primary actions include:
- Modulation of sebum-related inflammatory pathways
- Reduction of systemic cytokines that destabilise skin homeostasis
- Promotion of ceramide synthesis and epidermal cohesion
- Enhancement of gut–skin axis signalling to harmonise immune and microbial responses
This internal approach helps recalibrate skin outputs from within, reducing extremes in oiliness or dryness and building the foundation for more consistent behaviour across skin zones.
The Gentle Cleanser
CORE ESSENTIAL – Fundamental to restore or maintain physiological skin function
The Gentle Cleanser supports combination skin by removing surface impurities and excess sebum without aggravating dry or reactive areas. Its ectoin-based, surfactant-free formula, paired with biomimetic hyaluronic acid and active waters, ensures a non-stripping yet effective cleansing process.
Key benefits include:
- Balanced cleansing that reduces oil build-up while preserving barrier lipids
- Maintenance of the skin’s acid mantle and microbiome to support harmony
- Protection against cellular stress and dehydration, especially in dry zones
- Preparation of the skin for even and effective response to topical care
For combination skin, the ability to cleanse without triggering imbalance is essential. This formulation enables stable, adaptive care that supports both oily and dry areas.
The Active Cream
CORE ESSENTIAL – Fundamental to restore or maintain physiological skin function
The Active Cream delivers barrier repair and immune regulation across zones of imbalance—whether lipid-deficient or inflammation-prone. Its blend of biomimetic triglycerides, broad-spectrum hyaluronic acid, and ectoin helps normalise skin behaviour by reinforcing its structural and immunological resilience.
Key mechanisms include:
- Restoration of lipid layers in dry areas without overburdening oily zones
- Reduction of chronic microinflammation that drives reactivity in combination skin
- Support of microbiome diversity to stabilise localised fluctuations
- Improvement of hydration distribution and surface comfort
The Active Cream provides harmonising care for combination skin, ensuring neither excess nor deficiency prevails, while promoting a more stable, predictable skin environment.
