About this deal

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. We recommend that you try our gentler cleansing options, Even Tone Gentle Gel Cleanser or LacticGlow Micropolish Resurface & Brighten Cleanser. If I took your Skin Quiz and any of these products weren’t suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use them? This dual-purpose formula is a moisturizer and a broad spectrum SPF in one! Suitable for all skin types. For sensitive skin, we recommend that you try our Even Tone Gentle Gel Cleanser. You could also try using this bar without the exfoliating sponge.

One reason that Urban Skin Rx products stand out is because they include higher concentrations of active ingredients. Three of the most common, and most important, key ingredients used throughout the product line are kojic acid, salicylic acid, and retinol. This award-winning formula is boosted with our ClearTone Advanced Technology®, featuring Kojic Acid, Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide to brighten skin and improve the appearance of dark spots. Lightly scented with Licorice Root, this daily cleanser promotes even skin tone while leaving skin feeling soothed and smelling fresh. Kojic acid, azelaic acid, and niacinamide all appear towards the middle of the ingredient list, indicating they’re present in effective concentrations. However, on my particular product, licorice root is listed as the very last ingredient (unlike its online ingredient list, where it appears more towards the middle), so I can’t speak to how effective this concentration is (though, you can definitely smell it). Nearly every fellow melanin-rich person is familiar with the (sometimes harsh) reality of being genetically predisposed to hyperpigmentation and acne scars. Arbutin is a common alternative to skin lightening hydroquinone, and is the star ingredient in Formulyst’s Luminous Skin Serum, which zeroes in on skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation. The serum is powered by Triple Brightening Technology, a powerful blend of naturally derived alpha arbutin, rumex extract (a plant that helps stop the production of melanin) and a biomimetic peptide.Numerous studies have proven that retinol can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve uneven skin tone, restore skin firmness, and shrink the appearance of enlarged pores. The Urban Skin Rx Clear Skin Cleansing Bar is a three-in-one solution for oily skin. The enclosed sponge creates a lather on the bar, which exfoliates and cleanses skin, and is then left on the skin, as a mask, for up to two minutes. Kojic acid prevents the catecholase function of tyrosinase in the skin—the most important step in the production of melanin. By inhibiting the ability of tyrosinase to make melanin, kojic acid is able to prevent skin pigmentation. The brand also touts their product line as “clinical strength,” and markets everything from bars to serums as “innovative scientific formulas.” Three of Urban Skin Rx’s brand values are even listed as innovation, quality , and knowledge . Yes! SPF or sunscreen should be applied every morning as the final step in your skincare routine and before sun exposure. No matter your skin tone, everyone’s skin needs to be protected from the sun’s harmful UV rays even when it’s cloudy. Not to mention, a daily SPF can also protect your skin from the visible signs of aging and hyperpigmentation.

Urban Skin Rx claims to be, “the melanin experts.” In addition to standard skin care, products are sold to correct and prevent uneven skin tone—one of the most common skin care concerns among women of color.Urban Skin Rx offers a diverse selection of products for diverse skin tones, including products for acne, aging, dark spots/uneven tone, dryness/eczema, large pores, oily skin, under eye circles, ingrown hairs, sensitive skin, and even products that are safe to use during pregnancy. As someone with parched, dry skin, I have a hard time finding cleansers that clean my skin without leaving it parched or stripped of its natural oils. Because this cleanser is in a bar format, it doesn't include a lot of added ingredients to make it liquid. In fact, two of the first three ingredients in the bar are nourishing coconut oil and moisturizing safflower oil. If I took your Skin Quiz and this product wasn’t suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use this product?

This sheer, lightweight cream feels luxurious, absorbs transparently and has a refreshing cucumber scent. Aesthetician Tip: If just starting out or your skin is dryer, we recommend mixing this formula with a moisturizer to dilute the strength. We suggest using our Even Tone Barrier Repair Ceramide Cream. In addition to kojic acid and retinol, the third primary ingredient in the Even Tone Night Treatment is hydroquinone. Hydroquinone is a de-pigmentation agent that reduces the formation of melanin in the skin. It is widely considered a key treatment for hyperpigmentation, melasma, and other dark spots or discolorations in the skin. Usually, I have to overcompensate with a heavy moisturizer after cleansing. But I didn't have that squeaky-dry feeling at all after using this cleansing bar. My skin felt perfectly moisturized and supple after using it. My skin was glowing after just one use. It’s also important to note that if you’re using corrective skincare products that contain AHAs or Retinol, your skin could be more sensitive to sun exposure. As a result, you should make sure you’re applying an SPF when using such products.

If I took your Skin Quiz and this product wasn't suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use it? Hyperpigmentation describes a change in the skin where there is increased color or darkening," explains board-certified dermatologist Rachel Nazarian. "Typically melanin, or another pigment, is found in increasing amounts in or around skin cells."
