The Murad Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum joins the legions of Vitamin C serums to try

November 7, 2022 Paris B Leave a Comment

I’m a huge huge fan of Vitamin C serums, as many of you know, but I had not been using one in my skincare routine for a while. I put it down to laziness.

Wot? Me, lazy?

Yes, it happens to the best of us :P

I try not to stockpile Vitamin C serums, because it’s quite an unstable ingredient, if served at maximum potency. Extremely effective, but unstable.

When doing my skincare audit of my stash, which I do from time to time, I dug out the Murad Vita-C Glycolic Brightening Serum. Incidentally, when I shared a picture of it on Instagram recently, there was so much interest in it, I just had to bump up my review :D

Hydrate and feed your skin with the Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 Multimist – it’s a hit for a hydration mist

Another mist? Another MIST?!

Why not? LOL! You may have seen me mention the Murad Hydration Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist in a recent preview post. It was the product that intrigued me the most from the new Murad Prebiotic line, so that’s the one I put to the test.

The Murad Prebiotic 3-in-1 MultiMist not only hydrates, but also helps maintain healthy skin by replenishing prebiotics to our skin – good bacteria. Bet you didn’t realize we needed bacteria eh? :P

I have to say, my experience has been primarily a positive one :)

Beauty hors d’oeuvres: Feed your skin the Murad Prebiotic Skincare power duo

May 1, 2019 Paris B 2 Comments

I don’t think you want to labour over another of my thesis-length posts today, so here’s just a (hopefully) quick beauty bite you can scan through.

Introducing a new range of products by Murad skincare, the Murad Prebiotic skincare range. I thought it was quite interesting, and you might too.

A few years ago, I’d noticed a slow but steady increase in brands introducing prebiotic or probiotic skincare. However, I had a bad reaction when ingesting probiotics (a post that still generates A LOT of discussion and interest), so I was a little wary. But I noted to a friend that it was a trend to watch.

Interestingly, the prebiotics/probiotics skincare trend hasn’t exploded as quickly as I thought it would. Perhaps, it’s more like a slow burn, that may only come to a head in the next year or two. Perhaps it will peter out. Who knows.

But Dr. Murad has gotten in on this trend, and I think that means something!

Let’s see if the Murad City Skin Age Defense Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++ will dethrone my current sunscreen favourites

Regulars amongst you know just how fussy I am about sunscreen. I use sunscreen. Liberally, compared to most, and I use it daily. Rain or shine, indoors or outdoors. SPF50 PA++++, no compromise.

What this means is that if a sunscreen that comes before me is anything less than that, I don’t even give it a look in. That’s just how fussy I am.

Let me also say that my preference lies with the Japanese sunscreen, because their formulation is second to none – lightweight, comfortable and effective.

Some time last year however, I was introduced to the Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum Mineral Sunscreen SPF50 PA++++

Murad, not being a Japanese brand therefore, had me scratching my chin. Did I want to try it? Most Western brand formula had put me off thus far. But the label “mineral sunscreen” drew me in like a fish at the end of a hook.

I wanted to know how this fared, and if it might find its place among my very carefully selected Holy Grail sunscreen selection.
