Oily Skin, Senka and SKIN1004
Senka's thorough cleansing removes excess sebum without over-stripping, while SKIN1004's lightweight, non-comedogenic textures hydrate without adding pore-clogging richness, a combination well-suited to the Philippines' humid, oil-prone conditions.
Dry Skin, CeraVe
CeraVe's ceramide formulas are purpose-built for dry and barrier-compromised skin, delivering richer, longer-lasting hydration than lighter K-beauty or J-beauty alternatives.
Sensitive Skin, RyxSkin and SKIN1004
RyxSkin's Filipino-climate-specific formulations and SKIN1004's Centella Asiatica line both prioritize calming, low-irritation ingredients suited to reactive or easily-irritated skin.
Combination Skin, Mixing Two Formulas
Combination skin, an oily T-zone paired with drier cheeks, is the most common skin type reported by Filipino shoppers, and it rarely does well with a single uniform product across the whole face. The practical fix is zone-based layering: a lightweight SKIN1004 gel or Senka product on the forehead, nose, and chin where oil builds up fastest, and a richer CeraVe moisturizer on the cheeks and jawline where dryness and flaking are more likely. This costs nothing extra since most routines already own both product types, it's a matter of applying them to different parts of the face rather than buying a fifth product marketed specifically for "combination skin."
