Intensive Resurfacing Peel by Murad (4 piece)

Intensive Resurfacing Peel by Murad (4 piece) - Murad's Age Reform line. Murad's exfoliation treatment offers the benefits of glycolic (an AHA - alpha hydroxyl acid), salicylic acid (a BHA - Beta hydroxyl acid) along with a mechanical exfoliation of bamboo. This combination ensures smoother skin, diminished depth of wrinkles and fine lines, pore refinement, a radiant complexion. The exfoliation action will trigger cell regeneration and lead the way to a newer, healthier skin. Some products that offer BHA peels can be too aggressive on the skin, but in this case, Murad has included Xanthan gum to counter any irritation. Hyaluronic acid and algin (from brown algae) are powerful hydrators and are included in the formula to ensure skin hydration coupled with the efficiency of the AHA, which is more effective on hydrated skin.

It is important when applying active products on your skin to counter any possible irritation, or inflammation, as these are stressors on the skin and indicate free radical damage. This product offers a cocktail of anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory ingredients that will ensure healthy resurfacing and renewal of the skin. These include vitamin C and E, from different sources along with licorice extract (improves the appearance of dry and damaged skin) and other anti-inflammatory botanicals. These ingredients will not only brighten and renew your skin, but will boost those great serums and creams you apply and amp up the penetration.

Murad Body Firming Cream

Unfortunately, not only the skin on our face ages. It is vital to give the rest of the skin some much needed attention, too. Murad's body cream offers so much more than just hydration for the skin. It also plays the role of an anti-age cream for the body because it's loaded with a bounty of beneficial ingredients. The sunflower oil and shea butter make this cream an outstanding nourishing product for the skin. These ingredients provide essential fatty acids and anti-oxidant properties while promoting healing and cell regeneration. There is soya and other peptides combined with a nice cocktail of vitamins (C,B5, E) that offer firming properties as well as boost collagen and elastin, provide anti-oxidant activity and ensure the health of the cells. Of course, to ensure a long lasting hydration effect there is algae extract (a great hydrator) and dimethicone to protect the skin and prevent moisture loss.

This cream will firm and hydrate the skin on your body. You will not only see the difference, you will feel it. For best results, use it after bathing or showering to ensure the hydration is protected and reinforced in the skin. Once applied, the beautiful creamy texture disappears almost immediately, so no oily residue to rub off on your clothes. It is packaged in an easy to use, convenient tube. Smooth move, Murad.

MURAD Intensive Wrinkle Reducer

Serum Category: Anti-Age
Anti-age protection and repair in a bottle! Who better than Dr. Murad, a Board Certified Dermatologist, to go beyond environmental aging and dig right down into the genetic mathematics of aging.

DR. MURAD states that, "skin cells are regenerated at night," and recommends applying this serum under a night cream. Why? We are bombarded with stress, pollutants and other environmental issues while the body is revved up and in movement all day long. At night, the body goes into a state of rest and everything slows down. It is a perfect time for healing.

This is an ideal serum containing a non-irritating, low concentration of glycolic acid (AHA), and other notable ingredients to ensure hydration and encourage collagen and elastin production, the two gatekeepers of youthful skin. Glycolic acid also gradually refines and brightens the skin giving it a healthier glow. The bountiful cocktail of vitamins promote collagen synthesis and add antioxidants to win the war against free radical damage, and as a result, ensure the well being of skin cells and minimize fine lines and wrinkles.

Intensive Wrinkle Reducer is definitely worth trying. It will convince you that it is possible to improve your skin and turn the clock back, . . . just a little. What more could you ask for in an anti-aging serum? Nothing.

MURAD Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer - SPF 15

Murad's Energizing Pomegranate Moisturizer - SPF 15- is a light textured moisturizer with sunscreen protection that offers a nice combination of UVA and UVB protection, essential for protecting the skin. Dr. Murad, known for his pomegranate research, is the first to incorporate the pomegranate's multi-tasking talents into anti-aging skin care, sun care products, and internal supplements (more on those later). As a powerful antioxidant, pomegranate extract contains potent free radical neutralizers that work hard to mitigate the damage that directly causes aging. As an added bonus, pomegranate boosts the healing process and the SPF of a moisturizer and/or sunscreen . . . long story short, less chemicals are needed to do the job, and that is always very good thing.

The plant, vitamin, and mineral components boost this product into much more than just a sunscreen. Artemia extract, an algae, is a back-up antioxidant supporting the renewal process. The mineral trio (magnesium, zinc, copper) will help activate cell metabolism. Copper plays an important role in the formation and quality of collagen and elastin fibers (strengthening the elasticity of skin and blood vessels), Zinc accelerates healing and is an effective sun protector, and Magnesium is considered the anti-stress mineral playing a major role in health and functioning of cell membranes and promoting lymph circulation. The texture will be more suited to a normal to seborrheic skin, unless a nourishing serum is applied underneath (remember always wait a minute or so between layering of products). Not recommended for dry skin.
