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.

Large Pores q+a
What causes large pores?
Can you shrink large pores?
How do you prevent your pores from becoming larger?
Minimizing direct sun exposure is the number one thing I recommend to prevent pores from enlarging. That means wear a daily moisturizer with SPF 25 or higher (click here for Dermshield All Day Sun Protection Mattifying Moisturizer SPF 30) and wear a hat when in direct sun for extended periods of time. Many clients don’t realize that regardless of skin tone or the time of year, everyone, everyday needs to wear a sunblock to protect their skin from the negative effects of sun exposure. Also, getting regular facials or microdermabrasion treatments with extractions can prevent clogged pores and black heads from remaining in the pore for too long. If they remain in the pore too long, it can lead to permanently stretching the pore out and being left with a little hole in the skin.
What are the best ingredients to use for large pores?
Besides sunblock (click here for Dermshield All Day Sun Protection Mattifying Moisturizer SPF 30) which prevents pores from becoming larger, I recommend using Retinol and Vitamin C/Ascorbic Acid in your home care daily regimen. Retinol increases the skin renewal process which leads to more production of collagen and more support for keeping your pores tight. Retinol also removes the dead skin that accumulates on the surface of the skin, leading to clogged pores and black heads that stretch out the pores over time. Vitamin C/Ascorbic Acid helps fight free radical damage caused by sun exposure and other poor lifestyle habits that lead to the breakdown of collagen and the pores enlarging. Also if you are prone to clogged pores, I recommend using Salicylic Acid, Sulphur, Benzoyl Peroxide, and Glycolic Acid. All of those ingredients kill bacteria, and control oil which lead to clogged pores and black heads. (Click here to see our acne products)
