Olim Naturals Salicylic Acid 5% Peeling Solution – Clear Pores & Reduce Blackheads

Why this peeling solution exists

In Pakistan’s heat, humidity, and dust, pores get congested quickly—especially around the nose, forehead, and chin. Even with a good facewash, oil and dead skin can stay trapped inside pores, leading to blackheads, rough patches, and stubborn bumps.

This Salicylic Acid 5% Peeling Solution is an “occasional reset” for congested skin. It’s designed to help clear the look of pores while keeping comfort in mind—because strong exfoliation should still respect your barrier.

Created by Olim Naturals, a research-backed skincare brand, this formula focuses on visible clarity with a balanced, routine-friendly approach.

What Makes This Formula Different

• 5% Salicylic Acid focus for pore-level exfoliation (BHA action)

• Peeling solution format for controlled, occasional use—not daily stripping

• Hydration + comfort support built in (Sodium PCA, Sodium Lactate, Panthenol)

• Lightweight base (PEG-8) for smooth spread and even application

• Designed for Pakistan / South Asian climate, where oiliness and blackheads are common

• Barrier-respecting approach for long-term routine compatibility

Key Benefits at a Glance

• Helps clear clogged pores and reduce the look of congestion (Salicylic Acid)

• Targets blackheads and whiteheads for a cleaner-looking T-zone (Salicylic Acid)

• Includes skin-identical hydration support to avoid tightness (Sodium PCA + Sodium Lactate)

• Supports a more refined-looking texture with consistent, careful use

• A practical peeling solution for clogged pores when daily products aren’t enough

Skin types:

• Oily and combination skin

Why This Outperforms Other Peeling Products

Many pore products either:

• go too harsh (leading to dryness and rebound oil), or

• don’t include comfort support (so people quit early).

This formula performs better because it focuses on:

• Single-hero BHA clarity (Salicylic Acid) for pores

• Lower irritation approach with hydration + soothing support

• Controlled use format so results come from consistency, not overuse

• Simple synergy that supports both pore clearing and comfort for long-term routines
