Real results: how women with combination–oily skin finally found clarity

Combination–oily skin is often treated as tough skin — but in reality, it behaves like delicate skin. When it’s stripped or dried out, oiliness increases, redness flares, and congestion becomes more persistent.

We see this pattern every day, and the real results from women using herb‑rich strengthening formulations say more than any trend or marketing claim ever could.

Miriam H — Germany

Miriam had extremely oily skin on her nose and forehead, with sensitivity everywhere else. The German brands she tried contained alcohol or were too aggressive — they made her skin even oilier, redder, and more congested. Some were so thick and waxy they caused breakouts.

But when Miriam switched to Simplicité, everything changed. Her oiliness normalised and the redness settled. Her skin stayed balanced, even in 35+ degree heat while on holiday in Greece. “I'd never found skincare before that stopped the oil from coming back,” she told us.

"I love the smell of the Plant Gel Cleanser for combination skin and how the One Step Exfoliator is so effective, yet gentle. Sage Face Oil gives a beautiful glow and feels perfectly light (I know now to mix it first in my hand with lots of the Toning Spray).

More favourites: after cleansing, I use Results Lift Gel, then Alba-White Day Moisturiser.

Cori H — Brisbane

Cori had super oily, breakout‑prone skin and had tried countless brands promoted as “perfect for oily skin.” None of them worked — they made her break out even more. Her skin was uneven‑toned, reactive, and constantly congested.

After switching to Simplicité in 2021, her breakouts stopped, her oil flow normalised, and her skin became even‑toned and comfortable. “I never break out now,” she said. “Simplicité is the best skin care I have used!”

I use the Basic Six products for combination/oily breakout skin. Lemon Night Creme has a divine citrus aroma and feels so beautiful to use.
