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?
Having won the Essence Best in Black Beauty Award three years in a row, this glowgetter™ fave might in fact have superpowers. With a whopping 20% L-Ascorbic Acid, (that’s the Vitamin C), plus Ferulic Acid and Kojic Acid, it goes to work to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and reveal a lit-from-within glow. There’s also Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides that visibly reduce the look of fine lines and enlarged pores, and Salicylic Acid for breakout-prone skin.
C-ing is believing! After you cleanse (may we suggest our Resurfacing Vitamin C Cleansing Bar, because more C!), apply 6-8 drops to your face. Smooth this “liquid gold” over face and neck, avoiding the eye area. The lightweight, silky texture absorbs instantly for a weightless feel. Just like your favorite juice, make this C part of your morning routine and always follow with a daily moisturizer and sunblock.

Glow Tip: If you notice a change in color of this formula, don’t worry. Color changes can occur from exposure to light and air and will not affect the performance.

FAQs
Do I need a vitamin C serum in my regimen?
Yes! Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that everyone should have in their skincare regimen! It brightens the appearance of skin tone and improves the appearance of dark marks, fine lines and sun damage.
Is this product Hydroquinone-free?
Yes. Our Super C Brightening Serum offers a potent and soothing Hydroquinone-free formulation that includes Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Arbutin and Kojic Acid.
Do I use this in the morning or at night?
You can use our Super C Brightening Serum in the morning and/or night, however, we recommend for best results to use it in the morning.
Is it normal for this product to darken over time?
If you notice a change in color of this Vitamin C formula, don’t worry. Color changes can occur from exposure to light and air and will not affect the performance.
What is the difference between Super C Serum Brightening Serum and Even Tone Super Glow Serum?
Super C Brightening Serum is part of our Pro Strength™ collection and contains 20% L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) and is offered in a larger size. Even Tone Super Glow Serum contains 10% L-Ascorbic Acid and is sold in a smaller size. Both products are effective for improving the appearance of uneven skin tone.
Why is this serum a different color than my previous bottle?
Due to the high levels of antioxidants this formula can range in color from batch to batch. We chose not to hide these variations with artificial colors because the appearance of the serum has no impact on the effectiveness of the formula.
How long before I notice a difference in my skin?
Everyone’s skin is different, so results can vary. It is typical to see results anywhere between 6-8 weeks; however, some people experience results faster.
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. 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.
