Product Information

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.

The Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist was designed to serve as a hydrating yet lightweight mist that can be used throughout the day in a variety of ways. This product is rich in hydrating ingredients like glycerin and propanediol, as well as a few active ingredients like niacinamide and a peptide complex. These two ingredients help to brightening and smooth the skin, revealing a more radiant and youthful looking complexion. In addition to these actives, this product also contains the Bipolymer Complex, which is unique Murad products. This complex contains ingredients that allow this product to act like a primer and setting spray by blending seamlessly with makeup to deliver a smooth, flawless looking finish. Because of all of these ingredients, this product can be used in multiple ways depending on your own skin care and makeup preferences. The 3-in-1 MultiMist can be used as your toner or mist step in your regular morning or evening skincare routine, as a primer to rehydrate the skin prior to makeup application, as a setting spray to help extend the wear time of your makeup or as a rehydrating mist to use throughout the day to freshen up the skin.

Something to keep in mind: The formula can be runny right out of the tube, so use caution when depositing the product onto your skin. Dr Murad has a wide range of products that are formulated to deliver antioxidants, have anti-inflammatory properties and boost hydration. Murad Invisiscar Resurfacing Treatment is said to minimize the look of post-acne scar size, depth, and discoloration in 8 weeks. One of the key ingredients in this formula is salicylic acid, a type of beta hydroxy acid (BHA). Salicylic acid is oil-soluble and can penetrate deep into pores, where it exfoliates the pore lining. This helps to loosen clogged dirt and oil, and helps to wash these impurities away. Salicylic acid also has the ability to dissolve keratin, the protein that acts as a “glue” to keep dead skin cells together in the stratum corneum. This is effective because dead skin cells can build up on the surface of your skin, leaving it looking dull and also possibly clogging pores. Exfoliation also helps to reduce the appearance of post-acne scars. Vitamin C also helps fade dark spots, evens out skin tone, and increases radiance. As if that wasn’t enough, research suggests that when vitamin C is applied to the skin, it significantly reverses aging-related structural changes by influencing collagen and elastin synthesis.

The Murad Hydrating Toner is an excellent alcohol-free alternative for traditional toners, in a convenient, facial spray format. This lightweight mist helps to rehydrate dehydrated skin while also neutralizing surface impurities which can impact the overall health and wellbeing of your skin. The formula behind this product utilizes a range of beneficial ingredients including sodium PCA, chamomile and cucumber extracts as well as lecithin. Sodium PCA helps to improve hydration as well as calm inflammation in the skin. Chamomile and cucumber extracts both serve as botanical ingredients to soothe and minimize irritation in the skin, as well as relieve overheated skin. Finally, lecithin works together with vitamins C and E to offer powerful antioxidant protect to help the skin combat environmental aggressors. All together, this formula has been designed to be relatively simple, yet powerful, making it a great option for use throughout the day to reveal any discomfort, dryness or heat you may experience throughout the day. 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. 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.

Yes, technically there’s no retinol in this formula but we think it deserves a place on the list because some people truly can’t tolerate retinol at all. Not to mention that it’s a no-no when you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. The next best thing? Bakuchiol is a plant-based ingredient that’s been shown in studies to have almost identical anti-aging effects to retinol but without any side effects. It’s the star of the show in this creamy balm, which also boasts caffeine and algae to tighten, firm, and de-puff. There is also a slew of hydrating ingredients—hyaluronic acid, squalene, ceramides—that help to give this blend its pleasingly rich texture. This is one of the most expensive options on our list, but if retinol really doesn’t work for you, it’s well worth it for the results. 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? Anyone looking to brighten their under eyes will benefit from this formula, but especially those with dark circles and signs of tiredness.
