Oily & Combination Skin Routine UK: Cleanse, Hydrate, Treat & Protect
Oily and combination skin does not need to be stripped or scrubbed aggressively. A useful routine focuses on removing excess surface oil and daily buildup while keeping the skin comfortable and choosing lightweight products that suit your main concern.
Step 1: Cleanse without overdoing it
A cleanser should leave the skin feeling clean, not painfully tight. The Ammuri Mattifying Facial Cleanser is designed for oily and combination skin. Cleansing twice a day may suit some people, while others prefer a morning rinse and a full cleanse in the evening.
Step 2: Choose one targeted serum
If uneven-looking tone is your priority, a lightweight niacinamide or brightening serum may fit well. Browse the Brightening Skincare collection rather than stacking several similar serums at once.
Step 3: Hydrate according to skin feel
Oily skin can still feel dehydrated. A lightweight moisturiser or aloe vera gel may provide enough comfort without a heavy finish. If some areas are drier than others, apply more moisturiser only where needed.
Step 4: Use SPF every morning
Sun protection is a core daytime step, especially when using brightening or retinol products. Apply an appropriate amount and follow the sunscreen directions for reapplication.
Simple morning routine
- Cleanse or rinse
- One lightweight serum
- Light moisturiser if needed
- SPF
Simple evening routine
- Cleanse thoroughly

What about exfoliation?
Exfoliating too often can make a routine harder to tolerate. If you use a scrub or exfoliating product, follow its directions and avoid combining several exfoliating steps on the same day.
Frequently asked questions
Should oily skin skip moisturiser?
Not automatically. Choose texture according to how your skin feels; a lightweight moisturiser may be more comfortable than skipping hydration completely.
Is more cleansing better?
No. Over-cleansing can leave the skin feeling tight and uncomfortable. Gentle, consistent cleansing is a better starting point.
Which serum should I choose?
Choose based on your main concern rather than the number of trending ingredients. Our product and routine guide can help narrow the options.
