The Uncover "I Am Radiant" Baobab Glow-C Serum is a brightening and skin-toning facial treatment created using a combination of Korean skincare technology and African botanicals. Formulated in an airless pump to prevent ingredient degradation, it is specially optimized for sensitive and melanin-rich skin to target hyperpigmentation and dullness.
Key Ingredients & Concentrations
-
8% Vitamin C (3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid): [“...specifically 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid for stability), 2% Arbutin, and African Baobab extract, this serum works to reduce hyperpigmentation, diminish dark spots, and improve overall skin radiance.” -- This derivative offers powerful antioxidant protection and boosts collagen without the intense irritation associated with pure L-ascorbic acid.
-
2% Arbutin: A potent botanical extract that works directly on dark spots by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production.
-
African Baobab Extract: [“African Baobab Extract is known for its moisturizing properties and ability to improve skin elasticity. It also helps to protect the skin from environmental stressors...” -- [Uncover Skincare]
-
Centella Asiatica / Niacinamide: Added to soothe redness, calm inflammation, and refine pores for a smoother finish.
Benefits & Performance
According to brand clinical testing highlighted on Uncover Skincare:
-
100% of clinical trial users experienced brighter skin in 4 weeks.
-
100% reported a smoother skin texture and higher hydration levels.
-
98% reported a visible glow starting from the very first use.
How to Use It
-
Cleanse & Tone: Apply to a clean, completely dry face. Applying Vitamin C to damp skin can increase irritation for sensitive types.
-
Dispense: Pump 2–3 drops into your palms, rub gently, and pat onto the full face and neck.
-
Frequency: Safe for daily use both morning (AM) and evening (PM).
-
Layering: Pairs exceptionally well with hydrating serums (like Hyaluronic Acid) or Niacinamide.
-
Sun Protection: Always follow up with an SPF 30+ sunscreen during the day. Vitamin C works synergistically with sunscreen to multiply your defense against UV damage.
What to Avoid Mixing
If you have sensitive skin, avoid using this serum in the exact same routine layer as high-concentration Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs like Glycolic or Lactic Acid) or Retinoids. Instead, alternate days or use Vitamin C in the morning and your exfoliants/retinol at night.
