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...

Another Home Run by Murad
This serum is absolutely fantastic. No weird smell, a gel texture, absorbs quickly into the skin. Is not sticky or heavy feeling, definitely see results if you use consistently. As usual, Murad knocked this one out of the park!
My favorite serum
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The serum works well, if you use it regularly, it's lightweight and absorbs easily. Good price, worth every penny. The formula feels gentle but effective, and its layers really well under moisturizer and make up. Love the scent. After using it consistently, I noticed my dark spots fading and my skin tone looking brighter.
Great addition to my skincare routine
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I love Murad and have really liked the products I have used from this brand, so I was excited to try this serum. The packaging is sleek and easy to use, the serum has a light clean scent that is not overpowering, I did not experience any irritation when using this serum. It has been a great addition to my skincare routine.
Not a favorite
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I'm not sure that I really care for this product. It makes my face feel sticky after application, and I don't see any difference after using it. Not a favorite.
Lightweight serum that fades marks.
[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] I've been using the Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum consistently for about a month and have really been enjoying it so far. The texture is smooth and slightly slippery, which makes it spread effortlessly across the skin, and a little truly goes a long way. My skin absorbs it quickly and I've experienced zero pilling when layering other products on top. It doesn't have a noticeable scent, which I actually appreciate, and it hasn't irritated my skin at all. I use it daily and haven't experienced any dryness—in fact my skin feels a bit fuller and healthier overall. I don't have many dark spots, mostly leftover acne marks, and while they aren't completely gone, I do think they appear lighter after consistent use. Considering how little product you need each time, the bottle should last quite a while which adds good value. I plan to continue using it and will likely purchase another bottle to see what another month of use can do.
