Balance and harmony: Skincare for combination skin

Finding equilibrium is the key to a healthy complexion, yet it is often the hardest goal to achieve. Combination skin, characterised by an oily T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) and drier cheeks, requires a routine that multitasks as effortlessly as you do. al.ive skin offers expertly curated skincare for combination skin, designed to regulate excess oil while delivering deep, lasting hydration where it is needed most.

Founded by interior designers Alisa and Lysandra Fraser, our brand philosophy is built on the concept of cohesion. Just as a well-designed room requires balance, so does your skin. al.ive skin strips away the confusion of mixing and matching, providing a streamlined ritual that harmonises your complexion.

The curated ritual for balance

The secret to managing combination skin is to avoid harsh stripping agents that trigger more oil production, while steering clear of heavy occlusives that clog pores.

• The Balancing Cleanse: Start with the First in Line, Silky Gel Cleanser. Enriched with Australian River Mint to purify pores and Flannel Flower to condition, it removes excess shine without disrupting the moisture barrier.
  
  
• Targeted Treatment: Regulate your skin's behaviour with the Before I Sleep, Restorative Serum. The inclusion of Niacinamide is a game-changer for combination types, helping to normalise oil production and refine pore size overnight.
  
  
• Intelligent Hydration: Hydration is essential, even for oily zones. The Light Burst, Hydrating Gel Cream is the best moisturiser for combination skin because of its weightless texture. It uses a 3D Hyaluronic Acid network to plump the skin without leaving a greasy residue.

Conscious formulations for complex skin

We believe that effective skincare should also be ethical. Our combination skin solutions are 100% palm oil-free, vegan and cruelty-free. By harnessing the power of native Australian botanicals, we deliver an experience that naturally calms inflammation and balances sebum, keeping your skin comfortable and radiant all day.
