Olim Naturals Glycolic Acid 30% Peeling Solution – Smooth Texture & Boost Glow
Why this peeling solution exists
In Pakistan’s climate—heat, humidity, and daily sun exposure—skin can start to look dull, uneven, and rough, even when you’re cleansing and moisturizing regularly. Dead skin buildup sits on the surface, making glow look “blocked,” makeup sit patchy, and texture feel less smooth.
This high-strength Glycolic Acid 30% Peeling Solution is designed as an occasional “surface reset.” It helps lift the look of dullness and uneven texture, while keeping comfort in mind with hydration-supporting ingredients—because strong exfoliation should still respect your barrier.
Made by Olim Naturals, a research-backed skincare brand, this formula is created for people who want visible refinement without turning their routine into guesswork.
