Urban Skin Rx 3 in 1 Even Tone Facial Cleansing Bar 1oz, pack of 1

Product Information

Kojic acid can be found in many Urban Skin Rx products, such as the Even Tone Cleansing Bar, Even Tone Night Treatment, and more. The Clear Skin Cleansing Bar’s effectiveness comes from ingredients like salicylic acid and sulfur, which are known to help clear excess oil from the pores. It also contains a blend of ingredients proven to reduce dark spots and even skin coloration. Salicylic acid is a key ingredient in the Urban Skin Rx Clear Skin Cleansing Bar, Clear & Even Tone Clarifying Glycolic Pads, and more. If I took your Skin Quiz and this product wasn’t suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use this product? 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.

Melanin” is a group of pigments, produced by cells called melanocytes, in the lower level of the epidermis that determine the color of skin and hair. Uneven skin tones develop when excess melanin is produced in the skin: 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. Urban Skin Rx produces a line of clinical skin care products with a goal to, “recognize, represent and advocate for accessible clinical skincare for diverse skin tones.” Rachel Roff—a licensed medical aesthetician and founder/owner of Urban Skin Solutions Med Spa in Charlotte, NC—launched the line of Urban Skin Rx clinical skin care products in 2010.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. If I took your Skin Quiz and any of these products weren’t suggested, does that mean that I shouldn’t use them? About the Brand: Urban Skin RX launched with a mission to create clinical strength skincare that was inclusive of darker skin tones. Its lineup of cleansers, serums, moisturizers, and tools targets an array of skin concerns such as uneven skin tone, dark spots, and blemishes. About My Skin: Slightly dull and sun-damaged Yes, the change I saw was probably too subtle for anyone else to notice, but I saw fresh acne scars along my jawline completely disappear and then stubborn pigmentation around my mouth brighten immediately. Now that I've been using the bar for a month, I've seen some extremely stubborn pigmentation (some scars that I've had for years!) go away. The bar was fun and easy to use. Ingredients: ClearTone Advanced Technology and licorice root correct uneven skin tone and fight blemishes

To be clear, acne scars, texture, and pigmentation are completely normal and natural—but that doesn't make it any more fun to experience. Though my fear of letting people see me without makeup on has faded, my thirteen years of acne scars have not. Salicylic acid can also dissolve keratin, a protein that acts as a “glue” to keep dead skin cells together in the stratum corneum. This is effective because dead skin cells can build up on the surface of the skin, leaving it dull and possibly clogging pores. 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."This brown-colored cleansing bar creates a lightweight lather with a soft tea tree and licorice scent.

After using it the first time, my skin felt very clean—not stripped—and the physical exfoliation from the sponge left me so soft and smooth. An even distribution of extra melanin presents as tanned skin, but the overproduction of melanin can also disperse upward in clumps that appear as dark spots and uneven skin tone. If you are looking to improve the appearance of uneven skin tone, dark spots, sun damage, pore size and the signs of aging, this is for you! We don’t recommend this product for sensitive skin types. Glow Tip: Let your sponge air dry and after a couple of uses, toss it in with your laundry to keep it clean! Urban Skin Rx Even Tone Super Glow Serum is a brightening, anti-aging, and antioxidant serum that is said to improve the appearance of dark spots, sun damage, fine lines, and wrinkles. One of the key ingredients in this serum is ascorbic acid (10%), the most active form of vitamin C. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. Vitamin C also has the ability to stimulate collagen production, decrease the appearance of dark spots, and improve uneven skin tone.The Super C Brightening Serum also contains hyaluronic acid to improve skin hydration and peptides to reduce the appearance of fine lines while encouraging a fuller, brighter look. Sodium Hydroxide is commonly used in the soap making process to turn fats and oils into soap - a process called saponification. However, the amount of Sodium Hydroxide used in the soap manufacturing process is not the amount you end up with in the finished product. By the end of the soap making process, most of the sodium hydroxide has dissociated (broken up) and is no longer present in the final product. As a result, while we use Sodium Hydroxide as a raw ingredient in our manufacturing process, there is only a residual amount of Sodium Hydroxide present in our finished cleansing bars. If you have dark marks, suffer from acne and have oily skin, use the Clear Skin Cleansing Bar. If you don’t suffer from oily skin or acne but have discolorations or want a brighter, more even-toned complexion, use the Even Tone Cleansing Bar. It is important to remember that all three of our cleansing bars help improve the look of uneven skin tone, so choose your bar based on your skin type. One of the key ingredients in this formula is kojic acid, an ingredient that helps to fade dark spots and discoloration that can potentially be drying or irritating when used with other exfoliating ingredients. It also contains witch hazel, which can sometimes irritate sensitive skin. With that in mind, those with sensitive skin should definitely patch test before using this product on their entire face and pay attention to the ingredients in the other products they pair it with—it may just require giving your skin some time to acclimate. 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.

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. Are you tired of sunscreens that leave a white or purple cast on your skin? We feel your pain and created this product just for you! Our Complexion Protection Moisturizer SPF 30 is an innovative formula with chemical and mineral actives to provide advanced SPF 30 protection alongside skin-loving ingredients to nourish your skin. Yes! SPF or sunscreen should be applied every morning as the final step in your skincare routine and before sun exposure.

Not to mention, a daily SPF can also protect your skin from the visible signs of aging and hyperpigmentation.Whether you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or general dullness, brightening cleansers are an effective way to boost radiance and even out your complexion all while washing away the day’s makeup, dirt, and other impurities. Dealing with some pigmentation issues of my own, I put the famed Even Tone Cleansing Bar by Urban Skin RX to the test. This three-in-one cleanser, exfoliator, and formulated to target dark spots and uneven skin tone, thanks to quadruple threat ingredients, like niacinamide and kojic acid. A favorite over at Byrdie HQ that earned itself the title of the best overall solution for dark spots, I had pretty high hopes for this unique cleansing “bar.”
