Murad Environmental Shield VITA-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector Vitamin C Eye Serum 15ml

Product Information

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. As well as keeping that precious vitamin C complex stable, the snazzy air-proof pump is hygienic and dribble-free, dispenses the ideal amount for both eyes and ensures you’ll squeeze every last millilitre of that precious cream out before having to buy again. Who should buy Murad Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector To ensure your skin doesn't get too irritated, look for retinol products that are formulated with moisturizing ingredients like niacinamideor B3, which help to calm inflammation. This is even more important when it comes to extra-sensitive parts of the skin. Fenton recommends choosing a product specifically made for the eye area if using retinol around your eyes. They’re specially formulated to be extra hydrating and minimize the likelihood of irritation. 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.

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. 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.

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. 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.”

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.The idea behind Murad Essential-C is to give consumers a skin care option that delivers powerful antioxidants, as well as some effective UV protection.

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. 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). The only downside? Retinol can often lead to side effects like skin dryness, peeling, and irritation. Yvonne W.
