Murad Intense Recovery Cream

Life can be stressful, particularly at the moment but did you know that stress can cause a host of negative effects to your body?

As your body perceives stress, your adrenal glands make and release a hormone called cortisol into your bloodstream.

Often called the “stress hormone,” cortisol causes an increase in your heart rate and blood pressure. Not good

It can cause issues with your skin too as of course, your skin is the first defender against outside aggressors and indeed in this case inner ones!

Indeed, Dr. Murad has been studying the stressful impacts of the environment, nutrition, and lifestyle on skin and overall wellness since 1972. 

That’s why he formulated the Intense Recovery Cream;

"our most luxurious moisturiser to date, customized with ingredients to offset symptoms of skin stress and boost skin's resilience so it comes back stronger.” 

Murad's beautiful cream intensely helps your skin to recover from the signs of stress and premature ageing.

Clinically proven, this comforting cream which is suitable for both your for face and eyes, helps to reduces the visible signs of stress-induced ageing and redness.

Suitable for all skin types but particularly great for dry skin, it contains A Microalgae extract to help calm the visible sign of stress to reduce the appearance of expression lines while improving under eye dark circles. 

Mirabilis Jalapa Plant Extracts soothe irritation and visibly reduces redness associated with sensitivity and rosacea.

It also contains skincare hero ingredients Shea Butter and Macadamia Oil to offer superior moisturisation offering comfort to dry, parched skin.

A balm/moisturiser hybrid it features all the nourishing qualities of a balm paired with the lightness of a moisturiser.

Quickly absorbed, it instantly quenches dry skin leaving it feeling soft, smooth abs revived.

In clinical trials, 89% of participants showed improvement in the redness of their skin while 88% agreed that their stressed skin felt and looked more relaxed.

Life's hard at the moment but there's no reason your troubles should reveal themselves on your complexion.

Murad's Intense Recovery Cream is available now abs costs £68. 

Murad Blemish Clearing Solution

Trying to combat breakouts can be a nightmare at the best of times, but throw sensitive skin into the mix and you’re looking at a nightmare.

Many spot busting products can be too strong for my skin but thankfully I’ve come across Murad’s Blemish Clearing Solution.

This milky coloured solution has really helped my skin in its time of need when angry breakouts occur and has helped to get rid of them quickly without aggravating them further!

The powerful anti-blemish forumula helps to rapidly heal breakouts and supports the healing of inflamed, stressed out skin.

Salicylic Acid and Queen of Meadow extract exfoliates and prevents dead surface skin build up while fighting breakouts, keeping pores clear of blemish causing bacteria without irritation.

Tea Tree Oil purifies skin and prevents future breakouts and Its Vitamin blend helps soothe and supports healing of inflamed skin.

It has the perfect combination of hard working, spot fighting ingredients and skin loving, soothing ones which ensures that your skin is looked after.

The product itself is a cloudy, light fluid which you apply to your face or other problem areas such as your neck and chest after you’ve cleansed and before you moisturise. 

It has a very subtle, pleasant scent and is absorbed super quickly into your skin leaving no trace.

There is no nasty stinging sensation or alcoholic smell often associated with blemish treatments and it doesn’t leave your skin feel tight or sore.

It’s as if you’ve not used anything on your skin at all in fact!

Research from Murad says that 96% of users saw clearer skin in 72 hours and I’d be inclined to agree with these stats.

Blemishes were reduced in size and redness within 24 hours and in my opinion, cleared far more quickly than without any treatment at all.

Now, this serum is pretty pricey at £39.50 BUT Id you only use it when you need it it’ll last you ages, like it has me.

If you have sensitive skin like me but still want to help clear your skin then I’d say Murad’s Blemish Clearing Solution is definitely worth a shot.
