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.

How To Use
In the morning:
After cleansing and apply other treatment serums or pads, apply 1-2 pumps of Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream to the face and neck area. Follow with a layer of SPF on top as the last step in your routine.
In the evening:
After cleansing, toners and other serums, apply Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment to the full face, avoiding the eye area. Begin by applying every other night. After 2-3 weeks, increase to applying every night if tolerated. It is normal for skin dryness and peeling to occur for the first 2-3 weeks of use. If experiencing irritation, reduce application to every third night and gradually increase to every other night. Always follow with a moisturizer. To target specific dark spots, alternate every other application between the full face and spot treating. In the daytime, always protect skin with a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher and limit sun exposure while using this product. Apply 1-2 pumps of Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream to the face and neck area.
For sensitive skin types, after cleansing, toners and other serums, create a “sandwich” by applying 1-2 pumps of Barrier Repair Cream to the face and neck area, followed by Retinol Rapid Repair, then add another layer of Barrier Repair Cream to seal it all in and deliver extra hydration.

FAQs
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.
Do I put Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment product 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 treating and applying to the full face.
What are Ceramides in the Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream?
A part of the skin’s natural barrier, ceramides help prevent the skin from losing moisture and play an important role in protecting skin from environmental stressors and reducing the visible signs of aging.
Is the Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream a fading treatment for dark marks?
As part of the Even Tone family, Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream includes ingredients that target dark marks, but it is not a fading treatment. Formulated to rebuild your barrier, it helps protect your skin so it is not as vulnerable to new discoloration. If you are struggling with dark marks, we recommend including this cream as a part of a full regimen for discoloration that also includes our Retinol Rapid Repair & Dark Spot Treatment (included in this package) or our Advanced Even Tone Day & Night Treatment.
Do I need to use a moisturizer in addition to the Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream?
Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream is highly moisturizing so you shouldn’t have to apply an additional moisturizer. However, this formula doesn't include a sunblock and we recommend that you always apply one during the daytime. We recommend our Complexion Protection Moisturizer SPF 30 for daily protection from the sun.
I have oily skin, can I still use Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream?
Yes, Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream is great for all skin types.
Are your products tested on animals?
No. We take pride in being a cruelty-free company!
