Olim Naturals Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum – Oil Control + Pore Refining

Pakistan’s climate makes skin look oily fast—this serum is made for that

In Pakistan, heat and humidity can make skin look shiny within hours. Add pollution, dust, sunscreen layering, and long days—and you get the most common complaints: visible pores, uneven texture, oiliness, and recurring blemish marks.

Olim Naturals created Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum as a daily “balance serum”—something you can use consistently without turning your routine harsh. It combines niacinamide (vitamin B3) with zinc PCA to support oil balance and clearer-looking pores, while Sodium PCA, Hyaluronic Acid, and Panthenol help keep skin comfortable and hydrated.

If you’re looking for the best niacinamide serum in Pakistan, or a niacinamide serum for oily skin and pores, this is designed to fit real routines—and real Pakistani weather.

Why This Outperforms Other Niacinamide Serum

Some serums focus only on “high percentage” and forget skin comfort—leading to dryness, pilling, or irritation. Others skip zinc synergy or hydration support, so oily skin feels tight and still looks shiny.

This formula is built for daily performance:

• Niacinamide + Zinc PCA synergy for oil-control support

• Hydration + comfort ingredients to keep the barrier happy

• Lightweight texture that works in heat and humidity

• Long-term results come from consistency—and this formula is designed to be easy to use

3. Follow with moisturizer (light gel/cream for oily skin).

4. AM: finish with sunscreen every day.
