Frequently Asked Questions

Is it effective for all skin types?
Yes, it is effective for all skin types including those with sensitive and acne prone.
Which products can I use it with- Uncover cleanser, other serums?
You can use our cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen along with the dark spot serum. These products will help achieve faster results as our cleanser, toner, moisturizer and sunscreen will help keep the skin pH balanced and maintain a supple skin texture to achieve optimal results.
What should you not use with the serum?
We would recommend not using the Vitamin C serum and the Blemish Control Serum on the same day as the Licorice Root Dark Spot Serum because both products contain a high percentage of actives which could irritate or sensitize skin. It is best to alternate using Vitamin C Serum on one day and then the dark spot serum the next day. With both products, it is essential to use daily sunscreen.
How soon can I expect to see results from using a dark spot serum?
You may experience changes within 6 weeks of use, however results may vary.
How often should I apply the dark spot serum?
Start by applying the Licorice Root Dark Spot Serum three times a week and build up to daily use.
Can the dark spot serum help with acne scars?
Yes, the Licorice Dark Spot Serum contains tyrosinase inhibitor ingredients that help with acne scars.
Should the dark spot serum be used daily?
The Licorice Root Dark Spot Serum can be used three times a week and if you observe no adverse reaction, you can use it daily.
Why does the dark spot serum look different after a while?
Due to the high level of actives present in the serum, it can oxidize causing the color to change. However, the efficacy of the product will not be affected.
What are the main benefits of using the dark spot serum?
Reduces any dark spots caused by sun, acne, over use of products or hormonal change.
How is it different from the Baobab Glow C Serum?
The Baobab Glow C Serum contains Vitamin C and Beta Arbutin which are not found in the dark spot serum. The Dark Spot Serum contains Alpha Arbutin. However, both products play a role in reducing discoloration on the skin.
Is this serum scented?
While Uncover does not use artificial scents, our formulators do use natural scents of ingredients that have a functional benefit to the skin.

This serum was a game-changer for my skin, and no other brand comes close.

I used the dark spot correcting serum consistently for 4 weeks. It definitely reduced my dark marks and gave me a little bit of glow. Thank God it lasted for quite a while, I’d have loved to pair it with the Baobab serum. I'd definitely send in a review video and post on my page as well.

Omotola Ojo

I got to the last drop with a few spots still the same. Is it possible to have permanent scarring from acne spots? Did I use it for long enough to conclude? I assume it's used periodically and not daily so that's how I used it. It helped some of my lighter spots disappear and my skin brighter in general

U
Uche Ndukwe

The Licorice root dark spot serum is my best product, it helped with my spots and uneven skin as I got visible results in 3 weeks of application
