Serum for oily skin in Pakistan
For oily skin in Pakistan, a lightweight niacinamide serum is usually a better first step than heavy oils or too many exfoliants. Niacinamide and Zinc PCA help the skin look more balanced while hyaluronic acid keeps the routine comfortable.

Oil and hydration are not the same. Oily skin can still feel dehydrated, tight or irritated. A water-based serum and light moisturiser can help comfort the barrier without making the face feel heavy.
Ingredients to look for
Look for niacinamide for visible oil and tone, Zinc PCA for shine-prone skin and hyaluronic acid for hydration. Avoid starting with several strong acids at the same time.
Elluvi Hydra Glow Serum combines 10% niacinamide, 1% Zinc PCA and 0.5% low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid.
How to use it
Apply two to three drops after cleansing, then follow with a lightweight moisturiser. Start once daily. If your skin stays comfortable, use morning and night.
Niacinamide vs vitamin C vs retinol
Choose niacinamide first for oily skin, pores and barrier support. Choose vitamin C for morning dullness and dark spots. Choose retinol for night repair, texture and early lines. Do not start all three in the same week.
