    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is a skincare routine better than home remedies for glowing skin?

    A consistent skincare routine with proven ingredients (cleanser, vitamin C, moisturiser, SPF) provides more reliable, long-term glowing skin than occasional home remedies. Home remedies are great supplements but lack the concentrated active ingredients found in dermatological products. For optimal results, combine a good routine with periodic professional facials at Uncover Clinics.

Avoid bleaching creams with mercury or hydroquinone. For professional brightening, Uncover Clinics offers safe laser toning and glow peels designed for Indian skin.
