I received this product in a beauty subscription box. I’ve tried a few products from Murad before and quite liked them so was pleased to have this and looked forward to using it. Packaging wise it’s very basic but very typical of the brand. It’s VERY expensive, well out of my price range and I wouldn’t be able to purchase a product as expensive as this so was glad it came in my beauty box. It retails for £75 for 30mls 😮 The consistency of this was not as liquidy as other serums I’ve used in the past, it was more creamy. You do only need to use a little bit as a little really does go a long way. I’ve never tried anything really before with retinol in so was intrigued to see how it would work on my skin. I was using it in both my morning and night skincare routine. It did really reduce the lines on my forehead and made my skin more firmer especially under my eyes. It really did improve my skin tone and left my skin feeling soft and smooth. It also made my skin look much more radiant, not pale and fatigued look which is how it usually looks. Overall I was really pleased with the results after using this. I would definitely recommend it however I wouldn’t repurchase it. That’s not because I don’t like it because I do but it’s so expensive and I really can’t justify that price. I’ve only given it 4 stars and not 5 due to the price.

I am in my late 30's/early 40's with sensitive, olive tone skin and hazel eyes. My hair is light brown, dry with normal texture.
✨OMG I love this serum so much but why does it has to be so freaking expensive 😫 I am so self conscious about a deep set wrinkle in my forehead between my eyebrows and this absolutely helps to fix it. The only downside is if you do not keep up with daily usage, it does start to become very noticeable again very soon. I have tried other retinol products, but none match up to the performance of this. It has definitely improved the tone and firmness of my forehead and under my eyes too. Again, I just wish it wasn’t this expensive, because I really want more!
