Urban Skin Rx®, an unparalleled line of clinical skincare products, was developed by Rachel Roff, a highly successful Licensed Aesthetician. In 2006 Rachel opened her own medical spa, in Charlotte, NC, and it quickly became the leading medical spa and laser center for treating melanin-rich skin. Through her experience working on clients, Rachel learned which ingredients and formulations most effectively improved common conditions in skin of color, including hyperpigmentation and melasma. Recognizing the wide unmet need for products to address the concerns of diverse skin tones, Rachel founded Urban Skin Rx® in 2010. Urban Skin Rx® and Pro Strength™ collections include effective, targeted solutions with scientifically researched ingredients to help reduce the appearance of dark marks and uneven skin tone. The brand also offers additional products that smooth texture, reduce the visible signs of aging and fight acne and dry skin. Urban Skin Rx® is sold online at urbanskinrx.com and at Target, Ulta, Walmart, Amazon, CVS, QVC.com, HSN.com and Dermstore.com. In 2020, the brand launched its first international distribution in Nigeria.

You can avoid over-exfoliation and achieve even-looking skin with minimal irritation by alternating these three best sellers throughout the week.

FAQs
If I have dark marks and acne, do I use the Clear Skin Cleansing Bar or the Even Tone Cleansing Bar?
If you have dark marks, suffer from acne and have oily skin, use the Clear Skin Cleansing Bar. If you don’t suffer from oily skin or acne but have discolorations or want a brighter, more even-toned complexion, use the Even Tone Cleansing Bar. It is important to remember that all three of our cleansing bars help improve the look of uneven skin tone, so choose your bar based on your skin type.
If I have sensitive skin should I use the Even Tone Cleansing Bar?
For sensitive skin, we recommend trying our Even Tone Gentle Gel Cleanser. You could also try using this bar without the exfoliating sponge.
Is it normal for my skin to feel irritated, red or peel after using the Even Tone Cleansing Bar?
No. If you are experiencing irritation, redness or peeling, it could be caused by a few other things: you may be scrubbing too hard with the sponge, your skin is too sensitive for this cleanser, you are using this product with too many exfoliating products and/or not giving your skin enough hydration. If this happens, we recommend trying our gentler cleansing options, Even Tone Gentle Gel Cleanser or LacticGlow Micropolish Resurface & Brighten Cleanser.
Can I use the Even Tone Cleansing Bar with another cleanser?
Yes. This bar can be used along with our other cleansers.
Can the Even Tone Cleansing Bar be used on the body?
We recommend using the Clear and Even Tone Body Cleansing Bar for a full-body treatment.
Is there Sodium Hydroxide in your cleansing bars?
Sodium Hydroxide is commonly used in the soap-making process to turn fats and oils into soap - a process called saponification. However, the amount of Sodium Hydroxide used in the soap manufacturing process is not the amount you end up with in the finished product. By the end of the soap-making process, most of the sodium hydroxide has dissociated (broken up) and is no longer present in the final product. As a result, while we use Sodium Hydroxide as a raw ingredient in our manufacturing process, there is only a residual amount of Sodium Hydroxide present in our finished cleansing bars.
How can I keep my sponges clean?
These reusable sponges can be washed with laundry in a washing machine. We recommend washing them along with towels and letting them air dry. It is also important to let the sponge air dry after each use and not leave it inside the cleansing jar. If you need replacements, we sell additional sponges here on our website.
Is the Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment only to be used at night?
We recommend this product only be used at night since it contains retinol and other ingredients that make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Make sure to wear an SPF 30 or higher during the day when using this product.
Do I put Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment on my full face or just the dark spots?
This product should be used on the entire face to avoid blotches from spot treatments; however, if marks are especially stubborn, you can alternate between spot treatment and applying to the full face.
Is the Radiant & Bright Glowing Moisturizer good for sensitive skin?
Yes! This moisturizer is great for all skin types!
Do I need a Vitamin C in my regimen?
Yes! Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that everyone should have in his or her skincare regimen! This powerful antioxidant brightens the appearance of skin tone and improves the appearance of dark marks, fine lines and sun damage.
Should I use the Radiant & Bright Glowing Moisturizer in the morning or at night?
This product can be used in the AM or PM! It is great for mixing with your favorite SPF for ultimate protection and a healthy glow!
Are your products tested on animals?
No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
