Global best-selling retinol by Murad gets even better with advanced beauty tech

With sensitive skin that tends to redness, I have struggled over the years to find a retinol that looks after my English rose complexion without making it dry, itchy and irritated.

The new and improved Retinol Youth Renewal Serum (from $156) is a best-selling retinol that has recently become even better.

Featuring active retinoid technology that works to address the visible signs of ageing, it crucially has a gentle but rapid-working form of retinol.

It has this along with barrier-nourishing ingredients like omega-6, collagen amino acids and four types of hyaluronic acid — all of which help to work wonders on the appearance of the skin while also targeting its problems.

I’ve been using this retinol for the past few weeks and have noticed a significant improvement in my skin during that time period.

Just a couple of pumps every other evening followed by my moisturiser and eye cream leaves me waking up looking more rested and restored.

More importantly, my skin doesn’t flake or go red and blotchy when I use it, unlike with many other more powerful retinol products on the market.

Having conducted several studies, Murad have found that users reported improvement in the visible signs of early ageing after just seven days.

By the time they hit the two-week mark, 100 per cent said they had noticed visible improvements in elasticity, firmness and radiance, 93 per cent said there were visible improvement in fine lines, wrinkles and dark spots, and 96 per cent agreed that their skin looks healthier.

Reviews on the Murad website are glowing, and the product has an impressive 4.9 star rating out of five.

“I have tried different brands of retinol products and this is my favourite. It is very gentle on the skin, not irritating at all, but at the same time works great. I always wake up feeling firm smooth skin. I’ve been using this for 2-3 years now and can’t live without it,” writes one happy customer.

“Emptied this one. I tried this after I finished the overnight retinal resculpt treatment. I think I prefer the retinal but this I did find this super hydrating and great for my fine lines,” adds another.

A third says: “I have been using a trial size for about a month now. It lasts forever, you only need a tiny amount. I am usually a skincare skeptic but this truly did make my face look brighter and clearer and I noticed a difference when I stopped using it. It also did not irritate my skin even though I have eczema on my jawline. Very fantastic!”
