Product Summary

"Urban Skin Rx - Clear Complexion Acne Serum + Spot Treatment" is effective for: Moisturizing, Anti-aging, Evens skin tone, Anti-blemish and Exfoliation

Ingredient callouts

  • Exfoliating acids in a high total concentration (glycolic acid 3.30% - 4.00% and glycolic acid 26.00% - 31.00%). This is a strong peel. It removes the top layer of the dead skin cells, revealing a "fresher" skin. It can also have an anti-aging effect and stimulate collagen production in a long-run. But we recommend to use this product with caution to avoid over-exfoliation (no more than 1-2x a week). Over-exfoliation can seriously damage your skin barrier and lead to sensitivity and even trigger pigmentation issues.
  • This product includes a form of Retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.65% - 1.00%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
  • Peptides (oligopeptide-68 1.40% - 1.70%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Humectants (glycerin 1.90% - 2.40%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
