Olim Naturals Niacinamide 5% Toner – Balance Oil + Refine the Look of Pores

Why this toner exists 

In Pakistan’s heat, humidity, dust, and daily sun exposure, skin can quickly feel greasy, look uneven, and show more visible pores—especially around the T-zone.

Olim Naturals created this Niacinamide 5% Toner as a simple, daily step that supports clarity and balance without making skin feel stripped. It’s light, comfortable, and designed to fit real routines—morning rush, long days, and constant environmental stress.

As a research-backed skincare brand, we focus on what actually helps: barrier-friendly formulas, practical concentrations, and ingredients that work well together over time.

• Includes Panthenol to calm and support the skin barrier

• Lightweight, fast-absorbing toner texture that layers under serums and moisturizers

• Designed for consistent use in the Pakistan / South Asian climate

• Stability-focused formula support (EDTA + preservation system) for reliable daily use

Ingredient Science 

Niacinamide (5%)

What it is: A multi-tasking form of Vitamin B3.

Glycerin

What it is: A classic skin hydrator found in many dermatologist-loved formulas.
What it does for the skin: Pulls moisture into the skin so it feels comfortable and smooth.
Why it matters vs drying toners: Hydration helps keep oilier skin from feeling “over-stripped,” which can make skin look more imbalanced.

Sodium PCA

What it is: Part of the skin’s natural moisturizing factors (NMF).
What it does for the skin: Helps skin hold onto water for a soft, healthy feel.
Why it’s a smarter hydrator: It supports skin comfort without heaviness—great for humid weather and combination skin.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

What it is: A soothing, barrier-supporting ingredient.
What it does for the skin: Helps calm the feel of irritation and supports daily comfort.
Why it’s useful in Pakistan’s climate: Between sun, sweat, and pollution, skin can feel stressed—Panthenol helps keep your routine comfortable.

What they do for skin: Help maintain product consistency and safe use over time.
Why it matters: A stable product performs more predictably in daily routines.

Who This Product Is For

Skin types:

• Oily, combination, normal

• Dehydrated-oily skin (oily but still feels tight after cleansing)

• Sensitive skin: generally suitable, patch test first

Skin concerns:

• Excess oil / shine

• Visible pores and uneven texture

• Uneven-looking tone and dullness

• Daily environmental stress (dust + humidity + sun)

Beginner vs advanced users:

• Beginners: A simple toner that improves balance without complicated layering

Pakistan / South Asian climate relevance:
Ideal for routines dealing with heat, humidity, sweat, and pollution, where oil and pores become more noticeable.

Why This Outperforms Other Toners

Many toners rely on that “squeaky clean” feeling, which can actually push skin into more imbalance. This formula is different because it focuses on:

• Barrier-respecting balance instead of aggressive drying

• Lower irritation risk with supportive hydration + soothing care

• Synergy: Niacinamide + humectants + Panthenol work together for long-term routine success

• A practical daily texture that doesn’t pill, sting, or feel heavy

How to Use 

AM (recommended):

1. Cleanse.

2. Apply toner with hands or a cotton pad (avoid eyes).

3. Apply serum (optional).

4. Moisturize.

5. Finish with SPF.

PM: Use again at night for balanced hydration and skin support.

Tip: If you use strong exfoliating acids or retinoids, this toner works well to keep your routine comfortable—use before actives or alternate as needed.
