Company

Uncover Skincare is a pioneering beauty and wellness brand, designed specifically for African skin. Founded by women, for women, Uncover is on a mission to transform skincare across the continent by combining science-backed formulations with African botanicals. The brand is built around the belief that skincare is not just about appearance, but about confidence, empowerment, and self-care tailored for the unique needs of African skin.
Since its launch, Uncover has built a loyal community across Africa, offering a wide range of clean, effective skincare products, and is now rapidly expanding to new markets across the continent.

Challenge

As Uncover Skincare began entering new African countries, the brand needed a fresh, visually appealing way to introduce its products and philosophy to unfamiliar markets. The key challenge was to maintain Uncover’s premium, contemporary identity while adapting its communication to resonate with different African audiences — both online and offline.
They required:
Elegant, informative print materials to accompany product launches in new countries
Cohesive digital design assets that reflected the brand’s identity while welcoming a new audience
A scalable, repeatable system to use as the brand entered more markets

Opportunity

I collaborated with Uncover to design a suite of digital and print materials that would accompany the brand’s entrance into new African countries.

These included:
1. Elegant product flyers and shelf talkers for retail spaces.

2. Location-specific campaign visuals adapted to local aesthetics and beauty standards.

3. Digital launch creatives for ads, social content, and e-commerce presence.

The designs reflected Uncover’s core identity: clean, feminine, modern — with a science-meets-skin ethos. Each layout was crafted to be both visually appealing and educational, helping new customers quickly understand the benefits of Uncover’s offerings.

Impact

The visual materials played a pivotal role in Uncover’s market launches across Africa. They helped create brand consistency across borders, increased product recognition, and supported local retail partnerships by offering professionally designed print collaterals.

As a result, Uncover maintained a polished, premium appearance in every market — reinforcing trust and credibility with new customers. The design assets contributed to a successful rollout strategy and supported Uncover’s broader mission of redefining beauty for African women, one country at a time.

Testimonial

“Yusuf came into our brand at a pivotal time—right as we were expanding from Kenya into West Africa. His design work for our product print materials, both digital and physical, was not only visually compelling but also deeply thoughtful. He instinctively understood how to communicate skincare across cultural lines, helping us create tools that connected with new customers while staying true to our values. Beyond the visuals, he gave crucial strategic advice that made our entry into new markets feel less overwhelming. We couldn’t have asked for better support.”
