This is working for my 'melasma mustache'!
This is the 4th product I've tried for my melasma, and it is working! I've noticed about a 75% reduction of my melasma in about 3 months with continued use and copious amounts of sunscreen. My melasma seemed to pop up out of nowhere. I do keep all of the skin on my face quite smooth with a combinati...

Please bring back the original formula!
This new formula is a creamy like substance and doesn't work like the previous clear gel like formula. I have been a loyal user of this product and it was always so amazing. Did exactly what it promised. Cleared my face beautifully from dark spots. It is what I always used to manage my skin discolor...

Truly Works for Stubborn Discoloration
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I started using the Murad Dark Spot Correcting Serum after a horrible waxing experience which left my underarms burned, peeling, red, and eventually very dark. At first, it didn't even hurt, but a day later of waxing my skin started reacting and I completely panicked when the dark patches appeared a few days after waxing. I did a lot of research online and kept seeing recommendations for vitamin C, glycolic acid, tranexamic acid to help with dark spots. That's when I came across this Murad correcting serum. I decided to be consistent and used it rigorously, morning and night, and paired it with a salicylic acid serum. I kid you not within about a month, I noticed a visible difference. The dark spots had significantly lightened and my underarms looked much more even-toned and healthier. This product truly works. It's effective, gentle enough for sensitive areas, and delivers real results when used consistently. I'm genuinely impressed and would highly recommend it to anyone dealing with dark spots or discoloration.

I've been using Murad Dark Spot Correcting Serum for about 7 days. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. My skin feels smoother and more hydrated, and my overall complexion looks a bit more even. I haven't seen major changes in dark spots yet, but I do notice a subtle brightness starting to show. It layers well under moisturizer and makeup.

The best step in my skincare rutine!!
Since incorporating Murad's Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum into my skincare routine, it's become a great ally. I haven't been using it for very long, but I've honestly loved it from the very first applications. I love how lightweight it is; it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave a heavy or sticky feeling, which is key for me. My skin feels brighter and more even-toned, with a healthy glow. Although I'm still working on seeing long-term results on my dark spots, my skin's texture looks smoother and it feels more cared for. It's definitely one of those products that gives you confidence from the start because Murad is synonymous with quality. I will definitely continue using it, and it already has a permanent place in my daily routine.
Awesome formula
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum and I'm really happy with how it's been working on my skin. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly, so it layers easily under moisturizer and makeup without pilling or feeling sticky. I started using it to target dark spots and uneven tone, and within a couple of weeks I noticed my skin looking brighter and more even overall. Some older spots have definitely faded, and my complexion looks smoother and more balanced. It feels gentle on my skin and hasn't caused irritation, which is a big plus for me. I also like that it feels like a treatment product but still comfortable enough to use daily. With consistent use, my skin looks clearer, healthier, and more radiant. If you're dealing with dark spots or discoloration and want something effective but easy to fit into your routine, this serum is a solid option.
