Olim Naturals Charcoal Facewash – Deep Cleansing Facewash for Oily Skin & Clogged Pores

A cleaner-feel facewash for Pakistan’s dust, sweat, and pollution

In Pakistan, your skin isn’t only dealing with oil—it’s dealing with buildup. Dust, smog, sunscreen layers, and daily sweat can sit on the surface and inside pores, making skin look dull, feel sticky, and break out more easily.

Olim Naturals created this Charcoal Facewash to give you that “freshly cleaned” feeling without harsh scrubbing. With charcoal to help lift impurities and a balanced cleansing base, it’s made for everyday use when your skin feels heavy, congested, or overly oily.

If you’re searching for the best charcoal facewash in Pakistan, this one is designed for the problems people actually face here: clogged pores, oily shine, and pollution dullness.

What Makes This Formula Different

• Charcoal-powered deep cleanse: helps lift grime, oil, and “city dirt” that can sit on skin

Why This Outperforms Other Charcoal Cleansers 

Some charcoal washes focus only on making skin feel “extra squeaky,” which can lead to tightness and rebound oiliness. Others don’t cleanse enough and leave residue.

This formula is built to stay balanced:

• Deep cleanse + hydration support in one step

• Lower irritation risk approach (no harsh scrubbing needed)

• Stability-focused for consistent performance in daily use

• Long-term routine advantage: a comfortable cleanser is easier to use consistently

How to Use 

AM / PM: Use morning and/or night.

1. Wet face with lukewarm water.

2. Massage a small amount for 20–30 seconds, focusing on T-zone.

3. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.

4. Apply moisturizer.

5. AM: finish with sunscreen for daily protection.

Tip: If your skin feels dry, use once daily and switch to a gentler cleanser at the second wash.
