Description

Designed to improve sagging skin around the eyes, this sensitive skin-friendly under-eye serum boosts elasticity and restores damaged skin. It contains two potent anti-aging ingredients: retinal and ginseng. Retinal, which is similar to retinol, is an ingredient that helps increase cell and collagen production, reducing the look of fine lines and wrinkles, and does so while being a touch gentler than prescription formulas. Ginseng is an herbal ingredient that, when applied topically, can reduce inflammation, boost hydration, and protect the skin barrier. All that is to say, this stuff is the secret sauce when it comes to gentle yet effective anti-aging skincare. If you’re looking for both fewer wrinkles and firmer skin around your eyes (and really, who wouldn’t want that), reach for this cream, a staple among beauty editors. It relies on both retinol and a plant-based compound from babchi seeds that has similar firming and smoothing effects. There’s also a blend of natural oils that help increase skin’s elasticity, and you can use it both under and around your eyes, as well as on the upper brow area. The best part might be the applicator, though, a gold tip that feels cooling and makes it easy to gently massage in the product. These are just some of the products included in the Murad Essential-C label, but are representative of the general price range of the items in this line.

Interestingly, although the name of this Murad label seems to suggest vitamin C as the cornerstone ingredient, vitamin C doesn’t actually seem to play a pivotal role in the collection. For example, Murad doesn’t tout the benefits of vitamin C for skin care (which are plentiful, by the way).We didn’t mind it, but we occasionally experienced a slight tingling sensation immediately after application. It’s not a dealbreaker for us, but it’s worth keeping in mind if you have super-sensitive skin.

It’s used in several Murad products, such as Vita-C Glycolic Serum, Vita-C Triple Exfoliating Facial, Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector, and more. With ample hydration, this serum from Vichy is a good idea if you struggle with dryness under your eyes. It offers a subtle plumping effect, so those looking to soften the look of wrinkles will like this one, too. Murad AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser is said to smooth the skin’s texture while cleansing impurities due to three exfoliating agents — glycolic acid, lactic acid, and salicylic acid — and jojoba beads. This cleanser should only be used 2 to 3 times per week for optimal results. Both glycolic acid and lactic acid are classified as alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) and are derived from natural sources; glycolic acid is from sugar cane and lactic acid is from milk. AHAs exfoliate the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more radiant skin. Reviewing the promotional material for Murad Essential-C, it’s easy to wonder if you’ve just come across a highly sophisticated product that can solve all your skin care needs. Founded in 1989 by Dr. Murad, the brand has been working hard to distinguish its product line as one that is founded on scientific research and created by skin care experts. The company even goes so far as to develop proprietary chemical compounds, with enticing names like RepleniCell, for example. But how effective can Murad Essential-C actually be? Even more importantly, what are the active ingredients in this label, and what effect do they have on the skin? To better understand what Murad Essential-C may achieve for your skin, let’s take a closer look at this skin care brand.Vitamin C works in a number of ways, but primarily is an excellent antioxidant. This means it helps neutralise unstable molecules called free radicals and prevents them from causing UV and pollution-related damage in the skin. This in turn helps brighten the skin, can superficially fade pigmentation, prevents collagen breakdown and can refine skin texture – all the good stuff. 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. We’ve been hearing for years that Vitamin C is the best anti-aging ingredient. Vitamin C is a potent antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals, the unstable molecules that contribute to the formation of premature wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. The skin around the eyes is naturally thin and fragile, making it more susceptible to the aging process as collagen and elastin fibers break down with age,” Fenton explains. “We also have a lot of movement in the area as we smile, squint, and rub our eyes, which further induces the formation of wrinkles.”

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.

Gave the extra 2nd star only as a courtesy in case something miraculous happens at a later point. Really not worth a penny so far. 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.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. Further, although this nutrient appears in some of the products in the form of ascorbic acid, it doesn’t seem to be formulated into all of them. Murad Rapid Resurfacing Peel is an extra-strength 10% glycolic acid anti-aging treatment peel. Glycolic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sugar cane. It has a small molecular weight, which means it can penetrate the skin very easily. It exerts anti-inflammatory, keratolytic, and antioxidant effects, and acts as both an exfoliator and a moisturizer. Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin by targeting corneocytes (dead skin cells that make up the stratum corneum) in a process called corneocyte desquamation. By enhancing their breakdown and increasing the separation of skin cells, the rate of cell turnover is increased, leading to smoother, more elastic skin. Glycolic acid is classified as a humectant moisturizer based on its ability to increase the supply of hyaluronic acid in the extracellular matrix. AHAs have also been found to stimulate collagen production. Collagen is needed to maintain strong, firm, youthful skin.

When it comes to his skincare line, the workhorses are the serums, which he views as the heavy lifters of a beauty routine, and “have the power to change your skin.” What products does Dr Murad sell? 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? Not all retinoids are considered equal. While retinol is the most popular over-the-counter option, there are also other options— retinyl palmitate, retinaldehyde—which have similar effects but are slightly less potent. If you have sensitive skin and/or this is your first time using a retinoid, it can be a good idea to look for these. Ideal for those who want a soothing, cooling sensation to grace their eyes upon waking up, this is a solid choice. The potent and creamy formula helps reduce the look of wrinkles and dark circles, while the cooling metal applicator works wonders on sleepy, puffy eyes.

What products does Dr Murad sell?

You’ve probably seen ads for Murad skincare products, but have you ever wondered who is behind the brand, and how it all started? Murad is named for its founder, Dr Howard Murad, who is a pioneer in the fields of skincare and wellness. He’s also an artist and author, and take a holistic approach to skincare. This serum is a good choice for those who want to target under-eye bags or general puffiness in the eye area upon waking up.
