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...

Works
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The serum works well at removing dark spots. I tried it on old scars on my knees, and it didn't really reduce the color but I wasn't really expecting it to. My only complaint is that the consistency is sort of sticky and weird, not my favorite. But that might have to do with the formula and why it's so effective, so I can't fault Murad for that too much. Overall, I think you can find similarly effective serums for the price point, but if you're willing to spend the money this product won't disappoint.

Great quality product
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] It went on great with no harsh smells and it felt like it was tightening my skin too. In a good way. I didn't have any issues layering it with other products. This was my first time trying any Murad product, other than a couple of small samples. I like the product and have since purchased the Murad eye serum.

It works
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] This is definitely high quality, you can tell when it comes out the pump it's high quality because it has medical smell meaning your gonna get the best benefits from it . I noticed the first night it also helped with pimples and healing from a dark spot , you need to use it everyday and use sun screen

The first serum to fade my hyperpigmentation!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Murad Dark Spot Correcting Serum has become a staple in my skincare routine. It's a lightweight serum that glides on smoothly and dries quickly without feeling sticky. The scent is fresh, almost citrusy, but not overpowering. It layers beautifully with my other skincare products without pilling, which I truly appreciate. Now for the most important part: it works wonders for hyperpigmentation. After about 6 weeks of consistent use, my hyperpigmentation is nearly gone! I've struggled with a big spot right on my cheekbone for years that I couldn't get to lighten, but since using this serum, the difference is amazing. It's faded from a dark brown to pink. It leaves my skin glowing and has helped tremendously with hormonal breakouts, all without any irritation! The best part is a little goes a long way. Due to the results I've experienced while using this serum, I wholeheartedly recommend it in any skincare routine.


Great!!!!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Definitely a great serum, did not irritate my skin at all actually feels very nice!! Smells good as well. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future this is great for aging skin
