Most Helpful Positive Review Great set! Will def. repurchase! I would definitely recommend this kit! It has made me a total believer in Vitamin C serum. I'm only 3 days in and this has totally changed my skin already. My skin is so smooth and all the tiny acne I usually have on my chin is GONE. I've also already noticed reduce redness in my cheeks. I have a lot of acne scaring so anything that tones down the red is a miracle.
I think the people who gave this a bad review didn't understand how to use the products and started with way too much. If you haven't used these types of products before START SLOW, even using just every other day. Otherwise you will probably have reactions like some of the negative reviews stated. And follow up with a good moisturizer!
Only con I can see is that it does smell kinda gross (burnt oranges) but it doesn't bother me, and once you get your other products layered on it dissipates.
Most Helpful Critical Review What is up with the smell!?! What in the world is in this stuff!?! I thought Kayla's review from Olathe was full of it, seeing that i absolutely love the cleansng bar in the white jar. The serum smells like you sat outside at a bonfire but not the relaxation part of it...the bacon scent all over your entire body part of it. Don't get me wrong...i LOVE bacon but uhhhh not as a beauty product marinating on my face while i sleep. I will be returning this kit and just sticking with the cleansing bar and dark spot treatment. I bought this in hopes it would lighten my dark spots. Unfortunately, the serum was the main reason I bought this kit. The serum also leaked all over the other products during delivery. Good luck ladies!

I really wanted to like this starter kit, but hated 2 of the 3 items. The serum smelled rancid, and actually burned. The only thing I liked was the soap.
Finally something that works! 4
Paige from Lehigh Valley, PA
I've been struggling with my confidence for years. I had stubborn acne scars and my skin tone was uneven. I've tried so many different products, and this by far is the best. I saw improvement in just a week, and my make up applies much better too.
Skin looks great! 4
Cherie S. from California
I purchased this to try out and for the first couple weeks it did slightly burn my skin. And I had quite a few breakouts but I stuck with it and I have been using it for two months now. I have noticed a great change in my skin. The dark acne scars that I had have lightened, my fine lines and uneven skin tone have improved as well. I only rated this a four-star instead of a five because although the glow serum works really well and helps to brighten your complexion, it smells terrible! I will definitely be re-purchasing the cleansing bar and the retinol ina full size.
Recommendation from an ulta rep 3
Brittany. from Charlotte NC
I do not recommend purchasing this! I have been using the skincare system for about a week now and my face is severely burned and broke out. I do not have sensitive skin this has never happened to me before using this product.
Burned my face 1
Amber from Henderson, NV
This product burned my skin. The esthetician at Ulta said that there is a lot of AHA and not suitable for everyone. She did recommend Botanics Cleansing Milk for stressed skin to help. We'll see how it goes and thank you to Ulta on Stephanie in Henderson for allowing me to return this product.
My skin has improved so much! 5
Riki from Atlanta, Georgia
I really love this product and I have seen so much improvement over the last week. My skin has drastically improved and seems much brighter with consistent use. I purchased the starter kit to see if I would like the products and you get A LOT of product for the price.
I did see a few reviews in regards to burning/skin sensitivity…I would review the ingredients to make sure this is the right product for you. As far as the retinol, the instructions do state to apply every other day for the first 2-3 weeks. Also, this product should be no where near your eyes.
My recommendation is to add a moisturizer to this regimen. That's the only thing I didn't add when purchasing this so I add my own moisturizer after applying the glow serum.
I will definitely be purchasing again!

After seriously searching for a good retinol product this was recommended by an Ulta store associate for African American skin. I ended up purchasing this starter kit which I followed the instructions on how to use. The even tone cleansing bar was pretty good and left my skin feeling softer! The serum was my least favorite due to the smell which was almost unbearable but I stuck it out until it was all gone. And finally the retinol worked great on my sensitive skin! It did take a little awhile to notice a difference with the dark spots which I been struggling for some time now with hyperpigmentation. I can honestly say I started noticing the dark spots getting lighter about two months of consistently using it. I would say to anyone thinking this is a miracle cure overnight, let alone a week this is not the product. I think any product that is being used to repair a condition of the skin takes some time so you got to patient! I only gave it four stars due to the horrible smell of the serum. Otherwise I would solely buy the retinol again just because I did get good results.

BURNS and my face is RED 1
Kay J from Missouri
I used these 3 products as directed and I'm on day 3, my face is red like I have a sunburn and it burns like little stinging things on my face. I am so glad I just purchased the trial set. It's like I just got a peel done on my face. It's horrible. I am going to stop using and throw it away.
Amazing! 5
JessH from VA
This got rid of all my melasma and dark spots! I will never be without this! Yes it can be drying initially, use a good ceramide moisturizer and start every other day with the soap and retinol. I wish I could attach pics, it's unreal! Went from not being able to walk out of the house w/I makeup to loving the fact I can, truly a lifesaver. My skin was a complete havoc from melasma and sun damage and acne scarring. In 30 days my skin has completely transformed. Yes serum can be tacky and it can be drying, but the results are WORTH IT! just some background I am 34, caucasian and it worked amazing for me. I had tried everything under the sun and had no expectations from this. Only wish I would have found this sooner!
Didn't work at all 1

I got this product to help with my hyperpigmentation and melasma. After three months of use there's no difference in the appearance of my discoloration.

LR from Maryland
I purchased this product after taking the skin test on the Urban Skin Rx website, reading several reviews and a friend recommendation. From the first application my skin tingled and by day three my skin looked like I had a chemical peel. Discontinued use immediately and returned the products.

Al from Iowa
Please don't buy, the box itself came sticky as if something had spilled during the shipping of it. I only ordered because I loved their cleansing soap but the rest of the products are a no go.
Super glow serum was empty and gross 1
Catie from Minnesota
I used the cleansing bar first and that seemed fine. Then I moved on to the super glow serum and there was nothing in the bottle but some old, gross residue. It turned me off completely from the product. If it were a normal bottle I assume it would work fine, however it was caked with a gross residue and there was no liquid in the bottle. I didn't even use the spot treatment that came in the kit because I was so sketched out after the serum.

The cleanser is so small I can barely get any out of it.

Not worth it. 1
Undisclosed from USA
This product is not worth spending money on. It's trash! I got burns with so much pains on my face and peelings that were so revealing and noticeable. I won't recommend this to anyone. I had to stop using it. And it contains bad and unhealthy ingredients. So not satisfying.
Great Results! 5

I have been using this product for two weeks. I had so many dark spots and combination skin. My skin is glowing now and my spots are fading. Also, my serum spilled all over my first order. They sent me a replacement ASAP. Their customer service went far above what I asked for. I will recommend this product to everyone!
I am very disappointed by 1
Undisclosed from USA
I am very disappointed by this product. I had very high hope as I hear from a friend. It gives me super dry skin. And a makes my face full of acnes. I left with ugly acne scares. It was very hard time for me :(
I will never get close to this product. Not recommended to anyone!
Doesn't work for me 1

It makes my skin super dry, even after applying moisturiser. My skin was peeling in some places and I took break and start again. I got breakout in my forehead chicks and my chin.
