I have to admit that anytime I hear about a gendered beauty product, I roll my eyes. We don’t need specific makeup for men or women since makeup is for all genders already, you know? But sometimes a product comes along that makes sense. Urban Skin Rx Men is just that. Founder Rachel Roff originally started as an aesthetician with her specialty being helping men with ingrown hairs. She’s going back to her roots with this line.
“I worked at a laser hair removal center, and I saw how much the treatments helped women on their bikini lines and underarms. So I decided to try it out on a male friend who had severe ingrown hairs on his neck,” Roff said in a statement. “After seeing such significant results, I took before and after pictures, made flyers and handed them out in every barbershop in Charlotte. And before long, I built up a large male clientele.”
Because hair removal didn’t make sense for all her clients, she came up with other ways to treat ingrown hairs and dark spots. She put all of that knowledge into four new products targeted to men but anyone who removes facial hair will find them seriously helpful. All products are powered by the brand’s Hair Bump Relief Vita-B3 Complex, a blend of niacinamide and aloe to help soothe razor irritation and improve the look of scarring caused by ingrown hairs.
Fans of Urban Skin Rx‘s other products (men, too!) know how well they work to clear dark spots. These take it to the next level and they’re all under $13 and available at Target. It couldn’t be easier. Shop them all on March 6.
