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 it?
Are you stuck in the cycle of breakouts, followed by dark spots, followed by more breakouts? Our NEW! Acne Defense Essentials Kit was created just for you. All five products in this breakout system work together to cleanse and clarify the skin, helping to prevent future breakouts, defend against pimples, and fade the look of dark spots left by acne.
This kit features a full size of our latest innovation, the After Breakout™ Fade + Clarify Serum! A potent 10% dual-acid complex that combines 6% Azelaic Acid and 4% Tranexamic Acid, this serum clarifies pores, fights future breakouts and fades the look of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), including acne scars and dark spots, with minimal irritation.
Aesthetician Tip: Don’t forget to moisturize! Even if you have oily skin, avoiding moisturizers could trick your skin into overproducing oil. That's why we have included the Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream as the last step in your routine. It's excellent for oily/breakout prone skin. You can also mix this moisturizer with the 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Serum + Spot Treatment to combat potential irritation!

Clear Skin Cleansing Bar 2 oz
5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Serum + Spot Treatment 0.33 fl oz
After Breakout™ Fade + Clarify Serum 1 fl oz

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 to reduce the visibility of these blemishes. If you don’t suffer from oily skin or aren't trying to help reduce the appearance of 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 with the look of acne and discoloration, so the bar should be chosen based on skin type. For example, someone with dry skin/aging concerns and acne/discoloration would pick the Combination Skin Cleansing Bar.
Can the Clear Skin Cleansing Bar be used on the body?
We recommend using the Clear and Even Tone Body Cleansing Bar for a full body treatment.
Can I use the Clear Skin Cleansing Bar with another cleanser?
Yes. This bar can be used along with our other cleansers.
Is it normal for my skin to feel irritated, red or peel after using the Clear Skin 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 occurs, we recommend that you try our gentler cleansing options, Even Tone Gentle Gel Cleanser or LacticGlow Micropolish Resurface & Brighten Cleanser.
How can I keep my cleansing bar 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 Vitamin C + E moisturizer good for sensitive skin?
Yes! This moisturizer is great for all skin types!
Should the 5% Benzoyl Peroxide 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 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Serum + Spot Treatment only be used at night?
This product can be used in the morning and evening! Just make sure you apply sunblock during the day.
Can I use 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Serum + Spot Treatment if I have sensitive skin?
Yes! We suggest sensitive skin types start out using every other night.
Can I use After Breakout™ with the 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Serum + Spot Treatment?
Yes, you can use the After Breakout™ Fade + Clarify Serum with the 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Serum + Spot Treatment. However, we do not recommend applying the Acne Serum and After Breakout™ Serum at the same time of day. Instead, alternate using one in the morning and the other at night. It's essential to follow up with a moisturizer, and make sure to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the daytime for sun protection.
Can I use After Breakout™ with Retinol and Vitamin C?
Yes, you can use After Breakout™ Fade + Clarify Serum with Retinol and Vitamin C if you struggle with extra stubborn post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Can I use After Breakout™ if I have sensitive skin?
Yes, however, we recommend doing a patch test and then starting out using it every other day.
Are your products tested on animals?
No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
If I took your Skin Quiz and this product wasn't suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use it?
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! Of course, if you have any questions, please contact us and we would be happy to provide expert advice.
