Murad Radiant Skin Renewal
About a month or two ago, my skin started to cut up. I was experiencing breakouts (I believe my skin was reacting to the oils/products in my hair since I often wear curly bangs) and I also had a problem with dark spots & blemishes left behind on my forehead from the breakouts.In addition to this, my skin was starting to look really dry & dull so I decided to deviate from my usual regimen and try some new products.
I was watching television one day and an infomercial for Murad’s Environmental Shield Starter Kit was on. I usually never get sucked into these things but there was a woman of color on there who previously had dark spots and they cleared up after using the combination of products. I did my own research and discovered that it was safe for sensitive skin, had good reviews and was designed to free skin of dullness, dark spots and wrinkles for a younger looking complexion and to protect skin from environmental damage. Since the 30-day trial kit was on sale for $38 I decided to give it a try.
The Environmental Shield Starter Kit includes: Essential-C Cleanser , Active Radiance Serum, Rapid Age Spot & Pigment Lightening Serum and the Essential-C Day Moisture Broad Spectrum SPF 30 / PA+++. I also received the Murad Intensive-c Radiance Peel as a bonus. The directions state that the cleanser is to be followed by the Active Radiance Serum (daytime) or the Rapid Age Spot & Pigment Lightening serum (nighttime) and then finished with the Essential-C Moisturizer w/ SPF. I used the Murad Intensive-c Radiance peel once a week and it literally felt like an at-home spa treatment. The peel acts as an exfoliant and brightening treatment that restores radiance in the skin and evens skin tone.
After using these products for 4-weeks I have noticed a difference in my skin, the dark marks have started to fade and no new ones have formed, my skin tone is even and it’s also brighter. I use these products twice a day, everyday. I expect the dark spots will be completely gone after continuously using this regimen. My skin has reacted well with the products and appears to be renewed. All of the products are also available in full-size for those that are interested in them for long term use. The trial kit & full-sized products can be found at Sephora and Ulta Beauty.
