Therefore, consumers looking to build a skin care routine around the benefits of vitamin C may not find what they’re looking for in Murad Essential-C. Of course, that doesn’t mean that Murad’s moisturizers and eye creams are not effective – it is simply a matter of ingredient preference. Eylem Not what expected Firstly I love Murad and used many of their other products. Love the vitamin c collection and absolutely love both brightening serum and dark spot correcting serum. Love facial cleaner and mask however the eye cream was such a disappointment. Every single time it leaves my eye stinging a little which I can bear however half a hour also later cream starts forming cakey/flaky texture. Cannot use under a make up. It’s just awful. It’s not cheap , what a disappointment.

Use retinoids at night. We recommend this retinoid oil serum . It contains Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate, an ingredient that provides similar benefits with less irritation. Who is Dr Murad? Cary E. Excellent product I really love this product. It is light and sinks in well. For me it made a noticeable difference to the fine lines around my eyes as well as helping with the dark circles. I completely recommend it. My only bugbear is that I cannot tell when it is about to run out.Eye Cream SPF 15: This is an interesting product, because it aims to moisturize the skin while providing SPF protection. There are certainly many face moisturizers on the market with sun protection, but this Murad Essential-C eye cream was specifically formulated for the gentle skin around the eyes. It contains ingredients like urea, to draw moisture to the treatment area; butylene glycol, to condition the skin; as well as UV neutralizers like octisalate, homosalate, and avobenzone.

Murad Essential-C Ingredients While collagen is necessary for maintaining youthful-looking skin, the collagen protein is too large to absorb into the skin topically. That’s why applying skin care products that contain collagen won’t provide the anti-aging benefits you’re looking for.

Research suggests that when topically applied, vitamin C can help protect the skin from a whole slew of concerns, including signs of aging, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, dryness, and uneven skin tone. It's also an antioxidant, which helps protect the skin from aggressors in the environment, like UV rays and pollution, that can damage the skin . This vitamin C serum is intended strictly for the under-eye area and went on very smoothly—during testing. We found that a pea-sized amount can cover both under-eyes—and even helps makeup, like dark circle concealer, go on more evenly. With a couple of weeks of use , we experienced an improvement in the brightness of our under eyes. While the results weren’t the most drastic (you can’t really get rid of dark circles completely), we appreciated looking a bit more well-rested in the morning. Vitamin C can irritate the skin, but we didn’t experience any sensitivity, even on a tester with very sensitive skin. This serum is a good choice for anyone concerned about signs of aging around the eyes. While aging is inevitable, this retinol-powered serum boosts collagen production and softens lines and wrinkles in the eye area. If you want to improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles around your eye area, there is no ingredient more scientifically proven than retinol. Yes, every dermatologist’s favorite ingredient is raved about for its ability to help stimulate collagen, retain water, and smooth the texture of the skin. But retinol is very powerful and can cause some irritation, so it needs to be used carefully and in the right potency, especially around the eyes. We asked New York City dermatologists Jeremy Fenton, MD, and Morgan Rabach, MD, for their advice.Yvonne W.

Eyes Dark Circle [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's been a week since I used Murad vitamin c dark circle corrector and I seen obvious changes under my eyes. To achieve optimal health as well as beautiful, healthy looking skin, Dr Murad believes in a multi prong approach that includes: cellular hydration, nutrition, exercise that brings joy, creative expression, reconnecting with your “inner toddler,” reducing stress, as well as the right skin care. One of the cornerstones of his philosophy is to get enough water at the cellular level. He believes that cellular hydration is the common thread linking aging, disease, obesity, and wrinkles. This translates into drinking more than the recommended eight glasses of water a day. People should also aim to eat their water from consuming raw fruits and vegetables.
