Multi Cream for Combination Skin: How to Apply It Correctly

Quick answer

Use Dermaesthetics Multi Cream only on dry areas of combination skin, such as cheeks and jawline, while skipping the T-zone. Apply a pea-sized amount after serum and before sunscreen.

How to apply Multi Cream on combination skin

1. 1. Prep your skin: Cleanse and apply your usual serum or toner. Wait 60 seconds for the previous layer to absorb before adding the cream. Common mistake: applying cream on damp skin can dilute its occlusion and reduce hydration for dry areas. Let each layer dry down to preserve the cream's barrier function.
2. 2. Use a pea-sized amount: Squeeze a pea-sized dollop onto your fingertip. This is enough for both cheeks and the jawline. Using more can overwhelm the skin and lead to clogged pores in the T-zone. Common mistake: using a dime-sized amount on combination skin often causes breakouts on the forehead and nose. Start small; you can always add more to dry spots.
3. 3. Apply only to dry zones: Dot the cream onto your cheeks, jawline, and any other dry patches. Gently pat and smooth outward. Avoid the forehead, nose, and chin unless those areas feel tight. Common mistake: rubbing the cream over the entire face, which adds unnecessary oil to already oily areas. If your T-zone feels dry later, you can add a tiny amount there.
4. 4. Follow with sunscreen (AM only): After the cream has absorbed for 2–3 minutes, apply your broad-spectrum sunscreen. In the PM, you can skip this step and let the cream work overnight. Common mistake: applying sunscreen immediately after cream, which can pill and reduce both products' efficacy. Wait until the cream feels dry to the touch before layering sunscreen.
