Acne Control Serum

The new Murad Acne Control Serum has been prepping my skin for a blemish-free summer. 💙 My hormonal breakouts do not stand a chance with the Salicylic, Glutamic, and Mandelic Acid trio. This Biome-Balancing serum is lightweight and fragrance free making it perfect for am and pm. With the way this works alone I can only imagine the full set. I will define purchasing them all!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I had the opportunity to try out Murad's Biome-Balancing Clear & Prevent Acne Treatment Serum. I honestly wasn't too impressed with this product. I experience acne from time to time, mostly hormonal acne. I typically don't have much luck with acne products but was curious about this one. Prior to testing out this product, I was experiencing a fair amount of hormonal acne. I tested this product consistently for 2.5 weeks both am and pm. The formula is a gel based liquid. It's easily spreads and is dispensed from a pump. The formula contains salicylic acid, mandelic acid, Biome-Sensing Tech, and glutamic acid. All which is supposed to help clear acne, even skin tone, and encourage a healthy microbiome. It is said to visibly have results in as little as three days, for me this wasn't the case. I will say, the formula was gentle and I didn't experience any bad effects from using this product. I didn't notice any positive effects to the acne I was experiencing. I will continue to use this and test it out; however at this time I would not repurchase this product. This easily worked into my routine and I did not experience any pilling with my sunscreen or moisturizers.

Gentle and effective

I have been using this serum for a week now and I am truly impressed! It helped calm down a few breakouts within a few days, and my skin feels much smoother after just 1 week of application. I love that it does not dry out my face or make it peel like other acne products. It is quite gentle on my skin. Plus, It is super lightweight and fits perfectly into my morning and night routines. Overall, great serum for anyone who is struggling with acnes or has acne prone skin.

Less stress, less breakouts!

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I'm very impressed by this serum! It's lightweight, it sinks in quickly, and doesn't leave any sticky residue. This treats acne without stripping my skin. My barrier feels calm and balanced, even while keeping breakouts in check. If you struggle with acne but hate the dryness or irritation that often comes with treatment products, this is the one to try!

Nice lightweight acne prevention serum

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I find it impressive how lightweight the Murad serum is. Unlike other acne serums I've tried, it doesn't leave a sticky residue. Since incorporating this serum into my routine, I've noticed a decrease in acne on my skin, particularly in the T-zone area. I wish the bottle came in a larger size, as I'm concerned about running out quickly. Fortunately, my sensitive skin hasn't experienced any irritation or dryness. I also appreciate that this product is unscented, as my skin can be reactive to fragrances.
