- Q
Is this product oil free?
- Asked by DP
- Official Answer By Murad - Sampling + BEIt does have PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil as a solubilizing agent. In simpler terms, it helps dissolve substances that normally don't dissolve well on their own, like mixing oil and water. These agents are commonly used in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and cleaning products.Was this answer helpful to you

- Q
Hello I need for face spot because the Sun I live in Puerto Rico you think it help.
- Asked by Rose
- Official Answer By Murad - Sampling + BEYes it will indeed help. It is very important that you use SPF, every day, cloudy or not. An SPF 15 protects against 94% of UVB rays whiles an SPF 30 protects against 97%. Anything higher is only about a 1% increase which can provide people with a false sense of security. In light of the various factors that can decrease protection we do recommend reapplying once every 2 hours to maintain a constant level of protection, regardless of the SPF.Was this answer helpful to you

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...

New love!
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Murad never disappoints! This dark spot corrector is easy to apply, a little goes a long way, and I saw visible improvement in my dark spots within a week. Gentle on sensitive skin, too.


Nice
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum is a must have if you have dark spots. I have been using this for a few weeks now and notice significant improvement in dark spots fading. The serum is a clear gel consistency that is very lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin. This does have a slight fragrance but it disappears quickly once applied. My skin can be quite sensitive but this has been working wonderfully - no irritation or sensitivity. I love that this is fading dark spots while also giving my skin a beautiful glow!

Evens skin tone
The Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum works well to eliminate dark areas of hyperpigmentation. With this product, consistency is key. You must use this daily to see results, this does not work instantly. The consistency is pretty thin, although not runny and adheres very well to my skin. It absorbs quickly and I only have to leave it on for less than 30 seconds before I can continue on with my skincare regimen. No residue left on my skin after application. I did notice that it does irritate my face mildly, when used with anything else that could be described as harsh, so l have to be careful what l use it with. With consistent use, you can easily even your skin tone.


Nice serum easy to use
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] So far I like this serum. It does not have a strong scent. It goes on nice dries quickly so you can continue on with your routine. I can still use my other facial products without any issue. I'm excited to see what continued useful do and hopefully get to see some dark spot correction

Nice product
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review]. Helps minimize the appearance of dark spots on my face and is safe on sensitive skin, which is super important for me. I like how it comes in a pump dispenser
