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.

What is an IPL photofacial treatment?
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) treatments are a breakthrough technology that will lead you to younger, firmer skin.

How do I fight the cycle of super oily, with super dry, flaky skin?
Hormonal imbalance and increased production in the oil producing glands results in oily skin. When oily skin acts up, its obvious rough, shiny appearance and resulting blemishes (sometimes acne) give teens and adults alike, even more stress, and stress contributes to breakouts. Using products that dry out the skin seems like the obvious solution, but it isn’t.Cleansing 2-3 times a day (especially before bed and upon waking) with an antibacterial cleanser such as USRx Clear...
Is There a Correct Order to Apply Your Skincare Routine?
If there is one question that I am asked most often, it would be the question of “In what order do I apply my products?” The skin absorbs products at different rates. After cleansing and toning, apply the products one at a time for maximum results, and allow a few seconds to penetrate before putting on the next product. This time will vary from person to person, depending on your skin and the climate you live...
Do I really need to use an eye cream?
“Why can’t I just use my facial moisturizer around my eyes?” The thinnest skin on your body is the skin around your eyes. Because of this, signs of aging show up here more quickly than on other areas of the face.
