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 clogged pores, oily skin and dark spots keeping you from being one smooth dude? Our Men's Dark Spot + Oil Control Pore Refining Pads with clinical-grade ingredients are here to save your daily regimen.
Powered by 5% Glycolic Acid and Salicylic Acid, these pads cut through oil, refine pores and target dark spots with every swipe, leaving your skin looking brighter, your pores clearer and your face feeling tingly smooth.
As part of our new Urban Skin Rx® Men’s Collection, these pads feature our HAIR BUMP RELIEF VITA-B3 COMPLEX™, a proprietary blend of Niacinamide (B3), Aloe and other essential ingredients that soothe razor irritation and improve the look of scarring caused by ingrown hairs.
After cleansing or shaving, wipe your full face and neck area with a moist pad, avoiding the eye area. Allow to dry and do not rinse off. It may sting for a minute, but this is completely normal! Do this 1-2 times daily and don’t forget to hydrate with our Even Tone Soothing Moisturizer. These pads are also great for throwing in your gym bag to wipe your face if you don’t have time to wash up after a workout!
PRO BRO TIP: For dry or sensitive skin, start off using every other day and you may want to wait a day to use after shaving. You can also use these pads on a bald head to improve the skin’s appearance in that area as well!
Who Should Use
If you struggle with excessive shine, clogged pores or oily skin complicated by post-ingrown hair dark spots, these pads are essential for your regimen.
How It Looks/Smells/Feels

FAQs
What’s the difference between the Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads and these pads?
The Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads contain a higher percentage of clinical ingredients that may be a bit harsh for sensitive skin types or post-shave skin. The Dark Spot + Oil Control Pore Refining Pads contain a gentler percentage of effective ingredients, plus Niacinamide to soothe skin and reduce the appearance of blemishes.
Can I use this if I have sensitive skin?
This product is ideal for all skin types, including sensitive skin types! However, if you have sensitive skin, we recommend starting with an application only a few times a week.
Can only men use these pads?
Despite the product name, all of our products are gender-neutral, so feel free to share with a gal pal.
I experienced a stinging sensation after I applied the pads? Is this normal?
Due to the high level of Alpha Hydroxy Acids (5% Glycolic acid), you may experience a stinging sensation for up to 60 seconds after applying this product. If your skin stings longer than this, we recommend rinsing it off. For the next application, we recommend waiting a few hours after shaving to apply the pads.
Should I use the full line of products from the Urban Skin Rx® Men’s Collection?
In order to achieve skin that is truly clear, smooth and bump-free, we recommend using our full line of clinical solutions for ingrown hairs and dark spots to create a complete 4-step regimen.
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 this product?
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.
