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...

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 .

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


Murad rapid dark spot correcting serum
I received this product for review purposes only. I have been trying this product for a few times and it caused my face to break out, due to skin sensitivity. I hose to discontinued use of this serum. It's a thin facial serum that does absorb into the skin quickly.


it's time to glow
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. First of all, i' m so gratefull to be able to use this product. I've always wanted to try murad products and over the years my skin has become more prone to blemishes from breakouts and sun damage. I'm starting my skinecare routine and this product has become part of my glow routine. What i want to highlight most is that this product is sulfates, parabens and phthalate free, which is very important in a household wherer we look for the cleanest products.
