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...

Brightening 🔆
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] So I am 45 and I have experiencing hormonal acne. It has been cause scarring and leaving dark spots. So I was very excited to try this. It's nice and creamy and feels really nice on the skin. It melts into the skin. I also love the smell of it. A very soft light scent. Very pleasant. The packaging is nice and looks expensive. So far so good. What I have noticed so far about it is that it has given my skin some brightening. So far so good! If you struggle with aging skin or struggle with discoloration and dark spots you need to try this!


Attacks dark spots like a boss
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love Murad's packaging, it's so sleek and eye pleasing. Of all my skincare the vibrancy of this bottle catches my eye every evening. With that said, I have been using this for a couple weeks now, and I can say that some of my dark spots have most definitely faded. I am really good with sunscreen so fortunately I don't have a lot of spots to contend with. I wanted to post a before and after but just couldn't get the lighting good enough for accuracy. So just take my word for it! The texture is a little tacky, which I feel is better for gripping onto the skin. There is no scent, which doesn't bother me either way. I naturally have dry skin, but didn't notice extra dryness in the areas I used it.

Skin correction
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Absolutely a great product to help reduce dark spots from being in the sun living in the south. It helps to reduce the amount of sun exposure I've had throughout the years. Goes on smoothly and is a light product. Drys quickly and is effective.

Love It
I received the Murad Rapia Dark Spot Correcting Serum and have been using it daily for several weeks. I really like the way it feels on my face and it makes my skin feel tight which I love. It absorbs fast and then I apply my moisturizer. I can't speak to it lightening any dark spots because I feel like I would need to use it much longer.

Consistency is different but great product overall
I received this product in exchange for my honest review. This product is different from others in its formulation. Its a very thick and sticky serum unlike anything ive used before. Its tacky thick and clear just like glue which is odd to me.. Also, it leaves a very thin layer wherever you apply it and can roll or peel off. Really the only way to apply it is on a very fresh face for it to soak into the skin. I gave this product the full 4 week period to see if it actuallv works and my answer is, Yes. I had a few dark spots from post acne marks and it took those away with consistent use nightly. After showering and everything I applied this first directly to the dark spots before applying my other skincare products over top. I noticed the dark spots getting less noticeable as the days carried on. Im happy to see continued results which aided in me knowing it was working and gave me a boost in dedication to keep applying it every night. The dark spots are almost completely gone now. I can say with full confidence that they should be completely lightened either within 4 weeks or by 4 weeks just due to how long it originally takes to get half way lightned.
