Made with You, Made for You: Community, Science, and Innovation Power Uncover’s New
I AM RESTORED Blemish Control Serum
Lagos, Nigeria – Uncover, the pioneering African self-care startup dedicated to crafting best-in
class skincare solutions, unveiled its groundbreaking I Am Restored Blemish Control Serum.
Meticulously formulated in Korea and tested in Nigeria and Kenya, the I Am Restored Blemish
Control Serum marks a transformative breakthrough in blemish prevention and healing. Its
formulation prioritizes the specific needs of melanin-rich skin, providing a distinctive solution
tailored for the African consumer.
Enriched with mandelic acid for gentle exfoliation, salicylic acid to thoroughly unclog pores, and
the calming anti-inflammatory agent azelaic acid, the I Am Restored Blemish Control Serum
offers an effective, safe, and budget-friendly solution to reduce pimples and prevent future
breakouts.
“The I Am Restored Serum represents more than a blemish control product. It is a testament to
our unwavering dedication to African women. Our team, comprising highly experienced
formulation scientists, all melanated women with over 15 years of expertise, worked diligently
on its development for nearly two years. By integrating formula scientists well-versed in the
unique needs of melanated skin and incorporating the insights of marginalized women through
focus groups, Uncover can proudly state that we are amplifying the voices of this consumer
base.”- Uncover Co-Founder & COO, Jade Oyateru.
Uncover is steadfast in its commitment to elevating skincare standards and becoming a beacon of
excellence in the industry. Launching the I Am Restored Serum is just one stride in its ongoing
mission to provide effective solutions. With a focus on continuous innovation and a deep
understanding of the unique characteristics of melanin-rich skin, Uncover is poised to introduce a
range of products that empower individuals across the continent to nurture their skin with the
care it deserves.
To commemorate the launch of the new product, Uncover opened its much-anticipated
Experience Hub in Lagos, Nigeria, on February 25, 2024. Departing from traditional launch
events, this Experience Hub is an immersive space where customers can intimately interact with
the brand and its products. The grand opening in Lagos was a vibrant gathering, attracting
skincare enthusiasts, over 100 influencers, and dedicated customers.
“We are thrilled to have created a space that transcends the conventional, inviting our valued
customers to connect intimately with the Uncover brand. The Experience Hub symbolizes our
passion for fostering communities where shared experiences and empowering conversations
redefine the narrative of beauty. Imagine a world where beauty belongs to you, not to standards.
That’s the future we’re asking our community to help us create.” Sneha Mehta, Uncover Co
Founder & CEO.
