African Dermal Science products have been formulated for all skin types of darker complexion. Our Skin Specialists and Customisation Guide will recommend a customised regimen for you based on whether you have dry, combination or oily skin.

The unique formulations are a powerful anti-aging tool which effectively address photo-damage, problem skin, uneven skin tone and dryness.

This will depend on the type of skin and challenges you have and will vary from user to user.

With consistent and long-term use of a customised regimen, users report that their skin feels healthier, more rejuvenated, visibly radiant and more even toned.

06. Are the Uso by African Dermal Science products all natural?
Uso by African Dermal Science is a science driven skincare range where we have combined the best of nature and science. We source and use only the finest Botanical ingredients (plant extracts) and the most advanced, tested, active pharmaceutical anti-ageing skincare ingredients the world over for our products. All ingredients that are used in our quality products have been tested and proven safety and efficacy.
07. Can I use African Dermal Science products while I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
We strongly recommend you discuss safe skincare options for you and your baby with your medical professional for best advice.
The application of SPF Protection daily is especially important during the pregnancy and nursing period as your hormones released by the body during this period significantly increase your chances of developing hyperpigmentation in the form of melasma which is also called the mask of pregnancy.
