How to Build a Skincare Routine That Actually Works — The Pakistani Way

The Pakistani Skincare Challenge

Let’s be honest — Pakistan’s weather is not kind to our skin. Between harsh sunlight, pollution, and humidity, even the best imported skincare often fails us. Most global brands aren’t made for our local climate or our skin’s specific needs.

That’s where ELIXIR steps in — a Pakistani brand that understands Pakistani skin.


Step 1: Cleanse Gently — Don’t Strip Your Skin

Your routine starts with a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser. Avoid harsh soaps that over-clean your face. When your skin’s barrier is intact, everything you apply afterward works better.


Step 2: Treat with Potent, Proven Ingredients

This is where The Niacinamide by ELIXIR comes in — our powerful yet gentle serum formulated with 10 % Niacinamide and 2 % Hyaluronic Acid.

Research shows niacinamide strengthens the skin barrier, reduces redness, balances oil, and evens skin tone — without irritation. Studies such as Karger (2020) and ResearchGate (2015) have proven niacinamide’s broad range of benefits for human skin.

At ELIXIR, we use the highest-quality, dermatologist-tested ingredients to ensure visible results for every skin type, especially sensitive skin.


Step 3: Moisturize Wisely

Hydration is key — whether your skin is oily or dry. Choose a lightweight moisturizer that locks in moisture without clogging pores. Hyaluronic Acid, featured in our serum, helps your skin retain up to 1000× its weight in water — keeping it plump, soft, and balanced.


Step 4: Protect Daily with Shade by ELIXIR

No skincare routine is complete without sun protection. Shade by ELIXIR (SPF 50+) offers broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection — designed specifically for Pakistan’s harsh sun and humid conditions.

It’s light, non-greasy, and enriched with skin-soothing ingredients — tested for photostability and effectiveness, supported by scientific findings such as Pharmazie (2008) and RSC Advances (2017), which confirm how stable sunscreen filters maintain protection throughout the day.

Dermatologist-tested. Paraben-free. Made for you.


Step 5: Stay Consistent — That’s the Real Secret

The truth? Great skin isn’t about complicated routines — it’s about consistent care. Using trusted, high-quality formulations like ELIXIR’s Niacinamide and Shade every day brings lasting transformation.

ELIXIR makes it easy to keep things simple:

  • Cleanse. Treat. Protect.

  • Minimal steps, maximum results.
