Uncover's "I Am Smooth" Argan Hydrating Moisturiser is a lightweight, daily face cream co-created with African women and formulated using a blend of K-Beauty technology and African botanicals. It is specifically engineered to protect the skin barrier and deliver deep, long-lasting hydration without leaving a heavy or greasy residue.
Key Active Ingredients & Their Potency
The formula relies on a clinically thoughtful percentage breakdown of its primary actives:
-
3% Squalane: A skin-identical emollient that mimics natural sebum to support barrier repair, nourish, and absorb rapidly.
-
2% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Minimizes the appearance of pores, regulates oil production, evens skin tone, and targets blemishes.
-
1% African Argan Oil: Deeply conditions, softens dry patches, and provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors.
-
Hyaluronic Acid & Allantoin: Dual-action humectants that bind water molecules to the outer skin layer to instantly plump dehydrated tissue.
-
Moringa Extract: Provides natural antibacterial properties to keep acne lesions at bay while boosting elasticity.
Suitability by Skin Type
“The unique formula deeply moisturizes skin without clogging pores, making it suitable for all skin types.”
However, application can be modified based on your individual needs:
-
Dry or Dehydrated Skin: Layer the buildable formula generously to eliminate flakiness and lock in water.
-
Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Use a smaller, light layer. The niacinamide handles sebum control while the non-comedogenic base prevents clogged pores.
-
Sensitive Skin: Safe to use as it contains no artificial fragrances or colors.
Routine Placement & Usage
-
Cleanse & Tone: Apply to clean, dry skin.
-
Dispense: Squeeze a coin-sized amount for your face and neck.
-
Frequency: Rub gently into the skin twice daily (morning and evening).
-
Sun Protection: In your AM routine, always follow up with a sunscreen like the Uncover SPF 50+ Aloe Invisible Sunscreen.
