DETAILS
Did you know all sorts of things can wreak havoc on your skin—hormonal changes, aggressive beauty routines…not to mention psychological stress and fatigue? The result is seriously stressed-out skin that’s extremely dry, irritated, red, and out of balance.

That’s why he formulated Intense Recovery Cream, "our luxurious moisturizer to date, customized with ingredients to offset symptoms of skin stress and boost skin's resilience so it comes back stronger.” – Howard Murad, M.D.
