ELIXIR Skin Problem Diagnosis Hub

Understand Your Skin. Find the Root Cause. Choose the Right Dermatologist-Approved Solution.

⭐ INTRODUCTION 

Your skin is unique — and so are its problems. Whether you struggle with winter dryness, oily T-zones, acne marks, pigmentation, large pores, or sensitivity, most skin issues come from deeper causes like barrier damage, dehydration, UV exposure, or hormonal fluctuations.

At ELIXIR, we combine dermatology, modern formulation science, and ingredients sourced from global suppliers to create solutions made specifically for Pakistani skin, climate, and pollution levels.

This page helps you diagnose your skin concern and select the most effective routine — backed by research, real results, and dermatologist approval.

🔍 1. DRY & DEHYDRATED SKIN

“My skin feels tight, flaky, rough, or dull — especially in winter.”

🧠 Why it happens

Dry winter air + indoor heating + hot showers strip the skin barrier.
Your skin loses water faster than it can retain.

🧬 Science-backed causes:

  • Weak barrier → TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss)

  • Lack of humectants like HA & glycerin

  • Low ceramide activity

  • Overwashing

  • UV exposure worsening dryness

✔️ Best Ingredients for Dry Skin

  • Hyaluronic Acid – Deep hydration (IJMS, 2021)

  • Sodium Hyaluronate – Deep-layer hydration

  • Glycerin – Moisture binding

  • Niacinamide – Repairs barrier

  • Panthenol – Soothing and healing

  • Aloe Vera – Calms and hydrates

👉 All included in ELIXIR Niacinamide Serum + ELIXIR Moisturizer

🛢 2. OILY SKIN + LARGE PORES

“My face gets greasy, shiny, or congested — especially nose & forehead.”

🧬 Why it happens:

  • Heat + humidity in Pakistan → excess sebum

  • Over-cleansing → rebound oil production

  • Weak barrier → oily + dehydrated skin

  • UV triggers sebum oxidation → blackheads & acne

✔️ Best Ingredients

  • Niacinamide (10%) – Proven sebum regulator (CCID, 2022)

  • Zinc PCA – Oil reduction + antibacterial

  • Green Tea Extract – Anti-sebum + anti-inflammatory

  • Aloe Vera – Non-greasy soothing

  • Titanium Dioxide & Zinc Oxide – Reduce UV-triggered oil production

👉 ELIXIR Niacinamide + Shade Sunscreen solve these together.

🌑 3. ACNE MARKS & POST-INFLAMMATORY PIGMENTATION (PIH)

“My acne is gone but the dark spots stay.”

🧬 Why it happens:

South Asian skin produces more melanin after inflammation.
UV exposure deepens those marks.

✔️ Best Ingredients

  • Niacinamide – Fades dark spots + controls pigmentation

  • Alpha Arbutin – Safe melanin regulator

  • Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid) – Brightening + collagen

  • Sunscreen – Prevents marks from getting darker

  • Kojic Acid – Marks reduction

  • Centella – Reduces inflammation

👉 ELIXIR contains all of these across serum + moisturizer.

✔️ Best Ingredients
