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...

My new favorite!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I am absolutely loving the Murad brand skincare this year! There are SO many different options and it has helped my skin tremendously this winter! I decided to focus on skincare while indoors more because it has been a rough winter for my skin & this is one of my favorite new products that has become a staple in my daily routine! I use it at night and it's not the least bit oily on my skin. It makes my skin look so much brighter than usual and this is a HUGE part of why I love it so so much! I took before pics and plan on posting before and after in the spring once I've been using it consistently for a few months. I can already see the difference though! Looking forward to seeing how much more it helps my skin this year! While it says it's for dark spots, I can truly see a difference in any redness as well. The container is perfect because it allows you to get just the right amount out & hasn't leaked at all. Amazing product that I plan on sticking with for a long time!


Started working in one week
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Compared to every other product I've used this is the best. I started noticing fading of my dark spots within a week. It goes on easy and washes off my hands easy. Would recommend and will purchase again.

Lovely serum, unsure of results
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I really enjoyed using this serum. It absorbs beautifully into the skin. It works well under makeup and plays with other serums well without pulling. I believe it has made my skin brighter, and perhaps has faded my age spots a bit but nothing significant sadly. I believe this product would have to be used continuously for several months in order to notice a big difference. I've been using it for about a month only at this point so I'm unsure if I would buy for future use.


Dried skin
This rapid dark spot correcting serum works really well and I noticed visible improvement. Unfortunately, it left my skin red, irritated, and dry. I love the results, but it just didn't agree with my skin.

Works wonderfully smells terrible.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] this formula is non sticky and almost jelly like. I find it to be extremely effective however, the smell is purely chemical and I can't seem to get past it. From my perspective l, using this product, I recommend using it only at night and making sure that you layer on moisture in the morning as my face felt very dry after.
