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, Walgreens, Amazon, CVS, QVC.com, HSN.com and Dermstore.com. In 2020, the brand launched its first international distribution in Nigeria.

What is it?
Stop breakouts before they start and put them in their place when they do with our LIMITED EDITION Breakout Defense Trio - featuring 3 breakout-fighting, clinical strength formulas to clarify clogged pores, reduce excess oil and fade the look of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Let’s be real, perfect skin doesn’t exist. But healthy-looking, clearer skin does! Keep in mind that skin irritation and dryness are more likely to occur if you use multiple topical acne medications at the same time. If irritation occurs, only use one topical acne medication at a time.
DAILY
1-2 times a day after cleansing, boost your blemish-fighting game by following with a swipe of a Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pad. Packed with Glycolic Acid (of course!), Lactic Acid and Salicylic Acid, these clarifying pads exfoliate dead skin cells, promote even-looking skin tone and remove excess oil. And don’t forget to apply your favorite SPF as the last step in your daily routine!
AS NEEDED
Every other night or when a pesky pimple pops up out of nowhere, after cleansing and applying serums and moisturizers, apply our Clear Complexion Acne Serum + Dark Spot Treatment. This fast-acting formula features 5% Benzoyl Peroxide to reduce and prevent future breakouts, 5% Glycolic Acid to improve the look of blemishes and aging skin and Arnica to smooth and soothe the skin’s complexion. If tolerated, incorporate this product into your daily routine to keep blackheads, whiteheads and clogged pores away.
WEEKLY
1-2 times a week, treat yourself (and breakouts) to a blemish-fighting spa treatment by applying our Acne and Blemish Control Mask, mindfully formulated with 5% Sulfur, Niacinamide and Salicylic Acid to kick blemishes to the curb. Antioxidant Gardenia Extract gives this mask its blue hue and helps to fight free radicals, too!
This trio includes:
Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads 60 ct
Clear Complexion Acne Serum + Dark Spot Treatment 0.33 fl oz
Acne and Blemish Control Mask 2.5 fl oz
Aesthetician Tip! Don’t be fooled. Even if you have blemish-prone skin, you still need to moisturize! Avoiding moisturizers can worsen blemishes, compromise your moisture barrier and cause your body to make more oil, which can clog pores and lead to more breakouts!

FAQs
Can I use the Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, you can! Start out with one application every other day.
Should the Clear Complexion Acne Serum + Spot Treatment only be used directly on breakouts or all over the face?
This product functions as both an all-over acne treatment AND a spot treatment!
Should the Clear Complexion Acne Serum + Spot Treatment only be used at night?
This product can be used in the morning or evening. Make sure to apply a sunblock during the day. We don’t recommend using this product on the same day as the Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads or Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment. Only use on alternating days.
Can I use the Clear Complexion Acne Serum + Spot Treatment if I have sensitive skin?
Yes! We suggest sensitive skin types start out with every other night application. Additionally, we recommend mixing this serum with a moisturizer to reduce potency and the potential for irritation.
What gives the Acne and Blemish Control Mask its blue color?
Gardenia Extract helps neutralize free radicals and improve overall skin appearance, but also gives this mask its beautiful blue hue.
What does Sulfur do for acne, exactly?
While some people may associate Sulfur with a pungent odor, when it comes to skincare, this mineral is a gentle acne-fighting ingredient that absorbs excess oil and exfoliates dead skin that contribute to breakouts and clogged pores.
Can I use the Acne and Blemish Control Mask if I have an active breakout?
Yes! You can use this mask as a full face treatment, or as a spot treatment on an angry, irritated pimple, to reduce pore build-up and reduce the look of active breakouts faster!
Can I use the Acne and Blemish Control Mask in combination with other masks!
Of course! We call this multi-masking! If only certain areas of your face tend to be oily or breakout-prone, feel free to apply this mask to those specific areas and use other treatment masks on other areas of the face. Our Mask Trio is perfect for the ultimate multi-masker!
Should I wear sunscreen or SPF daily?
Yes! SPF or sunscreen should be applied every morning as the final step in your skincare routine and before sun exposure. No matter your skin tone, everyone’s skin needs to be protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays even when it’s cloudy. Not to mention, a daily SPF can also protect your skin from the visible signs of aging and hyperpigmentation.
It’s also important to note that if you’re using corrective skincare products that contain AHAs or Retinol, your skin could be more sensitive to sun exposure. As a result, you should make sure you’re applying an SPF when using such products.
Are your products tested on animals?
No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
If I took your Skin Quiz and any of these products weren’t
suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use them?
While our product recommendations are carefully selected for the needs of a specific type of skin to give the best results, many people will modify their routine with other products as needed. If you feel this product could be right for you, we encourage you to try it!
