Review : Murad Active Radiance Serum



Product Description
Renews skin for a smoother and more youthful complexion.

Clinically proven to brighten and renew skin in 1 week by :
- improving natural radiance and clarity
- smoothing skin to restore youthful texture and tone

This 3.7ml serum which is part of a birthday pack I received last year from Murad appeared to be an older version of its current serum. Their newer product is known as the Advanced Active Radiance Serum which supposingly gives faster result.

The serum, light orange in colour with a bitter orange scent appears to have a lightweight texture that sinks into the skin well if apply with a light hand. However, on my face, the serum feels heavy and sticky to glide well. At 3.7ml, the quantity may be too little for me to see any obvious improvement on the slight pigmentation on my cheeks.

Paula gives it a poor rating due to its high pH level for the glycolic acid to exfoliate well and a low level of Vitamin C ingredient in it. The 2 forms of menthol along with fragrance chemicals may cause irritation to the skin.

The product scored 4 from 31 users on Makeupalley.
