Reviews

Absolutely LOVE! Can I be a brand ambassador?!

"I have been struggling with stubborn acne scars, discoloration and hyperpigmentation for YEARS, majority of my life truthfully. I began using Murad in October 2025 and have been consistent since. It’s the only brand that’s given me real results and my skin is the best it’s ever been! Thank you Dr. Murad ♥️"

Talika B. (5/5)

Top notch !

"As with all my Murad products they work! I love the way my skin looks when I wear them ! Last Thanksgiving I walked into my sister in laws and the first thing she said was “ You look so young” ! Being 48 y/o at the time I was flattered by her compliment! This product in particular gives you a nice natural sun kissed glow, while working hard to even out my skin & sun spot ! Gorgeous product!"

Ryan H. (5/5)

Yes, you can manage old age spot!

"I had a combination of long-standing sun spots and “oldish” age hyperpigmentation, so I decided to try dealing with this, by using Murad. Within a few weeks, the areas had visibly lightened but I want to see how far it would go. I have been using it now for many months but the hyperpigmented area is still lightening. I also suggested this to a friend and she found it good too. Thanks Murad!"

Q&A

What color is the serum in this product?t I have a small bottle and the serum is a gold color. Wondering if it's old?
Please contact customerservice@murad.com and explain your concern with the code stamped on the very bottom of the bottle. It is a letter - number - letter - number combination.
Difference between glycolic serum and correcting serum
The Vita C Glycolic Serum is great for brightening your overall complexion. The Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum is best for specific pigmentation spots.
Is there an expiration date for rapid dark spot correcting serum?
I have sent you an email on how to read the production date. The product would then expire 3 years after that.
After starting this serum, my skin went through some breakouts which alarmed me. I was only using this a.m and p.m with my High Potency Face Finishing &Firming Moisturizer by Perricone MD. I use a good quality cleanser, the correcting serum and moisturizer. Can this be an adverse reaction from the serum? Thank you.
It is difficult to say for certain because everyone’s skin is unique and responds differently to new active ingredients. Additionally, while we ensure the efficacy of our own formulas, we do not test our products in combination with other brands.
Can I use this under my eyes for dark circles?
Actually, we suggest the Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector for that specific area.
