Most Helpful Positive Review Dry/Dull Skin Saver I've been using this for about 3 weeks now . It gives the skin an instant boost of hydration and radiance, as the serum has some reflective properties in it, not glitter by any means but a soft almost opalescence. It has an interesting smell, not an easy scent to describe, not floral either. I think the scent is from the niaminicide, it seems almost like the smell of indoor tanning lotion (minus the coconut/sunscreen smell). I mostly use this serum during the day, layered under my moisturizer and makeup. I think it's important to note that you should allow your skincare to absorb into the skin for at least 5-10 minutes before applying your makeup to avoid pilling (product buildup on surface of the skin). A little goes a long way with this serum, one pump is plenty of your face and neck.
The packaging is a very nice, heavily weighted glass bottle. The serum appears to have suspended spheres but if you look closely, the actual serum is sitting in an inner tube within the packaging, behind the spheres. For this reason, I deducted a star, it's misleading to the consumer in my opinion and seems like a marketing scheme. It makes you think you are getting more product than you really are too.
One other downfall to this product is the price. For what this serum does, I do not think it is worth the price tag. It's mostly just hydrating to me and does not contain any anti-aging ingredients. It seems like a basic serum to me. Still of better quality and results than other serums that I have tried in the past boasting to be hydrating, so I kept the 4th star. Personally, I just would not spend the money on this.
Most Helpful Critical Review Just not for me While I love this product in theory, it was nothing special for me. I prefer other eye creams but it is nice that this can be a replacement when needed. My super sensitive skin also had no negative reactions to this product - even if a pimple was forming, this cream seemed to zap it away within a day or two. It also left a healthy no-oily glow, so it's great if you're looking to brighten your skin. However, it didn't seem to lessen any of my forming wrinkles. In summary, this is a good product but for me not worth the price. It might be developed for older skin (I'm 31), which might have better results than I did. I think other Murad products would be bett r for me, but I got this one complimentary to test out.

TexasAmy from Texas
First of all the packaging is beautiful. It looks great on my counter. Most importantly, Murad always delivers innovative and effective products. This lightweight serum applies smoothly and has a light, pleasant smell. My skin feels soft and supple after using, and I see a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles. Thank you, Murad!
Tacky but works 4
Cici from Minneapolis MN
I imagined it being more of a silky vs a sticky serum. But overall it does what it is supposed to...Just started getting into eye creams and I've definitely noticed a difference. Very hydrating
Amazing 5
Roachie from Ohio
It's so hydrating, it really pairs well with the water gel moisturizer. I plan on adding this to my routine forever, such a great product!
I've repurchased 3x 5
Shannonagons from Seattle
I've repurchased this serum 3x so far and will probably use it for the rest of my life! Its so hydrating and calms down my itchy skin after I hug my cat.
It works! 5
Kristy from California
I got this serum and I was really excited to try it. Being a mom of a lot of children, I tend to have dark circles and appear more tired than I actually am. The serum works well and I'm really excited that I was able to try it. I'm excited to share it with some of my friends. There is no residue or weird smell to it. I enjoy this product

Tess from Las Vegas
This stuff is amazing, from the bottle, you can see the little berries inside and it looks so unique. I have been using this morning and night, and the smell lingers through my nose even after I put it on my face. I am excited to keep trying this stuff as I love getting serums for my face. Can never start too early
Love it 5

This cream is what you need especially in the fall and winter . Rather you have dry or combination skin, this will give your skin that glow.

Feels to heavy and greasy.
Sensitive/aging skin relief 5
MrsJay from Nevada
I love this. If I had to choose only one skin care product to use for the rest of my days, this would be it. My skin looks smoother, feels softer, and has fewer blackheads. I purchased a sample size of this product when I redeemed some points, which is the only reason why I gave a product containing fragrance a try, but I've now replaced it three times over. Can't say enough good things about this serum.
Tobacco Smell 2
Millie from Wisconsin
This product is moisturizing enough for a serum, and it does soften the look of tired skin.
If it weren't for what I'm about to inform you on, I would have given it a 3, but
towards the bottom, it smells like straight up tobacco.
I'm not sure why this happened, considering I stored it correctly, but it turned me away. Could just be this bottle or batch, but worth warning others over.
My absolute must have skin care product 5
Ellen from Florida
I'm pretty sure that this has single handedly erased the fact that I'm in nursing school during a pandemic while doing virtual school for two small kids. My skin has never looked or felt as good as it does now. If i could only have one skin care product, I would pick this. I love this stuff so much!
Never go a day without it! 5
Em Herx from Twinsburg, OH
As an esthetician, it takes a lot to impress me, but I swear by this serum. I just turned 40, and this, along with the Nutrient Charged Water Gel, are my go to everyday hydrating products. I have raved about this to my co workers and friends. You can definitely see a difference right away!
I will never ever be without My Murad 5
Kitchenistadeb from Newport NC
I have tried so many products to get rid of dry patchy skin on my nose, and nothing worked until Murad came into my daily and nightly skin care routine! All the top names with all the top claims, none of it worked for me! Murad is the answer for this girl.
Truly - my skin has never looked better 5
CL from Atlanta
Got this when it was on sale and can see myself paying the full price moving forward due to the fact my skin has never looked better. I use this after washing my face before my moisturizer in the morning and night. I love that it doubles as an eye cream. My face is smoother, brighter and significantly less dry (I have combo skin). I may add some other Murad products to see if that will enhance my face further but so far - SUPER satisfied.
Bad smell 1
Nicole S. from Salem, OR
I received a mini of this, and I can't continue to use it due to the smell. If you are sensitive to fragrance, I do not suggest buying this.
Great for first time skin care users! 5
Pri from NJ
I'm totally new to skin care! I'm 32 so I wish I would've started earlier but I'm glad I started now! This serum smells good and has a very nice consistency! I love that it doesn't irritate my dry skin and is so moisturizing! I love the fact that I can use it under my eyes too!! I use this at night after cleansing and toning. No need to use a moisturizer after, this is enough for me!
Not right for me 2
CF from Dallas, TX
I don't like fragrance. It didn't seem bad at the store, but on the face, it's very strong. I have sensitive skin, and it didn't feel great in the morning after using this before bed.
