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?
When fading the look of stubborn hyperpigmentation or discoloration caused by melasma seems impossible, it’s time to rethink your routine. Enter NEW HyperCorrect™ Intense Fading Cream, your Step 0 to get to those dark spots first.
Free of hydroquinone, this innovative wash-off treatment is applied to dry, uncleansed skin (aka Step 0). It contains a powerful blend of 5% Cysteamine, a cutting-edge ingredient that has shown significant efficacy in improving the appearance of stubborn hyperpigmentation, plus 1% Niacinamide and Vitamin E to target dark spots and minimize the visible signs of premature aging. With daily use, your skin will feel smoother and your complexion will look more even-toned. Plus it's one of only a few Cysteamine creams on the market, HyperCorrect™ is not only affordable, but now accessible outside of a dermatologist's office.
Aesthetician Tip! Try using HyperCorrect™ in the evening before you cleanse your face. We call it “fighting dirty” (applying over the day’s dirt, grime and makeup is just fine). If no irritation occurs, you can introduce these ingredients back into your regimen along with Cysteamine, however at opposite times of the day. For example, if HyperCorrect™ is used at night, then use your other active treatment serums in the morning.

If you struggle with stubborn hyperpigmentation, melasma, post-acne scars, uneven skin tone or rough texture, this is for you!

FAQs
Do I have to apply this before I cleanse my skin?
Yes. Apply this treatment to your skin before cleansing or washing off your makeup. Alternatively, you can wait one hour after cleansing and apply to dry skin. Always rinse off with your favorite gentle cleanser and follow with a moisturizer, and if used in the daytime, apply an SPF 30 or higher.
Why is it recommended to apply this to my face before cleansing or washing off my makeup?
Applying this formula with Cysteamine to freshly cleansed skin or damp/wet skin can increase skin sensitivity.
Is this product suited for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, we recommend mixing Hypercorrect™ with a moisturizer before application to dilute the strength, and leave on skin for 5 minutes, gradually increasing to 15 minutes as tolerated. If no irritation occurs after a few weeks, we recommend applying without mixing with moisturizer.
Can I use HyperCorrect™ on the body?
Yes. This product can be used on the body and left on for up to one hour. However, for use on sensitive areas such as lips, underarms and bikini lines, we recommend mixing HyperCorrect™ 50/50 with a moisturizer and leaving it on for only 5 minutes for your first 3 uses and then increasing to 15 minutes if tolerated.
Can I leave this treatment on my skin for more than 20 minutes?
We strongly recommend that you follow usage instructions and only leave on the skin for up to 20 minutes. It is normal to experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during this time.
Why does this product have such a strong odor?
HyperCorrect™ contains Cysteamine, an antioxidant that naturally has a strong odor most comparable to Sulfur. We have chosen not to mask this odor with artificial fragrance. The smell of this product does not affect the results.
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.
