Murad Rewards

What is the Murad Rewards program?

  • Murad Rewards is a loyalty program that rewards you every time you shop on Murad.com. All enrolled members can redeem points for free products and dollar-off discounts, and access exclusive benefits, including birthday gifts and early access to new products. As you earn points with every purchase, you have the opportunity to level up your account to reach a new reward tier to earn even more points, benefits and gifts.

How does it work?

  • Joining is easy and free: all you need to do is create an account to be enrolled. Once you’re registered, you’ll have the opportunity to take part in all the exciting ways we currently offer to earn points and reach our new tiers.

  • Listed below are the many ways in which you can earn points:

    Create an account: 50 points

    Leave a review: 50 points (Eligible every 2 months)

    Follow us on: Facebook: 30 points, Instagram: 30 points, TikTok: 30 points

    Make a purchase:, Bronze: Earn 2 points per $1 spent, Silver: Earn 2 points per $1 spent, Gold: Earn 3 points per $1 spent, Platinum: Earn 3 points per $1 spent

    Enroll in subscription purchases: Bronze: Earn 4 points per $1, Silver: Earn 4 points per $1, Gold: Earn 4 points per $1, Platinum: Earn 4 points per $1

    Taxes, shopping costs, discounts and promotional gifts do not earn points. Points are only accrued against the order subtotal.

  • You can use your points to redeem products by navigating to Rewards in your Account. Under “Manage Rewards” you will be able to add reward products for a given amount. Once selected, your product will be added directly to your cart if you meet the points requirement. Please note: You cannot adjust the quantities of rewards products or use your points to redeem more than one of the same product.

    You can also use your points to redeem for savings on your orders. Once you’ve logged in and are ready to check out, go to the checkout page to view your points balance and apply savings options. Select your discount amount and click “Apply”. Please note: Use of savings options requires that the order subtotal (before tax) exceed the savings amount by at least $10. Furthermore, savings options cannot be combined with any other promo codes or offers.

    To redeem your points for a reward product, a purchase is required. Promotional offers that require a promo code are not stackable with Beauty Rewards dollar discounts. This also includes sale products, discounted kits, regimens, continuity and subscription orders. We do, however, allow promo code stacking with reward product redemptions.

  • No need to create a new account! All customers with an active rewards account were automatically enrolled in our new and improved rewards program. If you have had more than one customer account with us, please note that only one rewards account was created per person.

  • If you’re already enrolled in Murad Rewards, you’ll love our new and improved program. Your automatically enrolled in our new Murad Rewards program (launched 9/20/2023) that rewards you even more thanks to a new tiered structure. All currently enrolled members start at the Bronze tier, and will enjoy all the benefits that you had before, but with a greater opportunity to earn more points and progress towards our highest tier: Platinum. New purchases after 9/20/2023 will be counted towards the new tiering program.

  • Yes, your points will expire 365 days after the earned date. Our system will automatically keep track of your points earned date, then remove them on day 366 when they expire. If you earned your points prior to 9/30/2024, your points expiration countdown will start on 9/30/2024. However, if your account has been inactive since 3/1/2024, any points earned prior to 9/30/2024 will expire on 12/9/2024.

  • Once you are in the Silver, Gold or Platinum tier, you will be in that tier for one year starting on the day you reached your new status. For example, if you earned enough points to upgrade to a new tier starting 9/20/2023, you will retain that tier until 9/20/2024. If you don’t meet the requirements of each tier within the 12-month period, you’ll automatically move to the tier that aligns with your status. Make sure to keep interacting with our program to reach a new tier or maintain your status.

  • The new and improved Beauty Rewards program tiers are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Your tier is determined by the points earned on the amount you spend on Murad.com.

    Depending on which tier you’re in, you can earn double or triple points for every dollar you spend, and this includes points on subscription orders. There are also special actions you can take (like following us on social media and leaving us a review) to earn more points.

    • Bronze: Free to join
    • Silver: Spend $100/year
    • Gold: Spend $250/year
    • Platinum: Spend $500/year

  • When points are redeemed, they follow the “first in, first out” rule – the first points earned will also be the first to get redeemed.

  • When your total points reach the point threshold for a new tier, you will receive an email congratulating you on your new status, plus updates to your gifts benefits.

  • Happy Birthday! We’re delighted that you have chosen to celebrate with us through our exclusive rewards program. To receive your birthday bonus on your birthday, enter your birthday in the account settings or during your initial account creation, at least 30 days before your birthday.


    If your birthday falls between the day that you registered and the 30-day waiting period afterward, you will receive your birthday bonus 30 days after your registration. All successive birthday bonuses will be emailed to you on your birthday.


    If you register your birthday through your rewards account any time after it has passed in the current calendar year, rewards will not be added to your account until the day of your birthday in the following year.


    Remember, your birthday reward is determined by your Murad Rewards tier status on the day of your birthday. If it has been more than 30 days since you registered for your birthday reward and you still have not received the additional points in your account, please contact customerservice@murad.com and we will be happy to assist you.

Product Information

Products

  • Yes! You can mix and match Murad products, but you should only use two or more Step 2 treatments if the directions specify that you can. Traditionally, it is best to use one Step 2 treatment in the morning, and one Step 2 treatment in the evening. Murad products are labeled Cleanse | Tone (Step 1), Treat | Repair (Step 2), Hydrate | Protect (Step 3) and Boost (Step 4). Below are ways to use products from different lines: 

    • You can cleanse (1), treat (2), hydrate (3), and boost (4)

Ingredients

  • We follow strict industry and government guidelines to ensure that every ingredient in each of our formulas has been thoroughly safety tested and approved for use.

    In addition, our product development and quality control teams continuously monitor the scientific literature, as well as reports from our customers, to ensure that our products are at the leading edge of safety as well as performance.

    To help ease your concern about the safety of any specific ingredient, we encourage you to visit www.cosmeticsinfo.org, a website specifically dedicated to providing consumers with timely and objective information regarding ingredient safety.

  • Many products manufactured by Murad are formulated without gluten. To determine if a product you’re interested in is formulated without gluten, visit the specific product page at Murad.com and look under the “Formulated Without” tab. 

    As with any allergy, it is best to consult your physician if there is any concern regarding gluten. In addition, we are certainly more than happy to assist you in creating a regimen that addresses your specific concerns while avoiding any form of gluten. 

  • Many products manufactured by Murad are formulated without parabens. To determine if a product you’re interested in is formulated without parabens, visit the specific product page at Murad.com and look under the “Formulated Without” tab. 

    At Murad, we use different preservatives depending upon the unique formula of each product accordingly. Murad’s product development team continually monitors scientific literature, and FDA safety alerts and guidance, to ensure that all of our products are safe and fully compliant with all applicable rules, regulations and laws. 

    You can also contact Customer Care to create a customized regimen that addresses any ingredient concerns you may have. 

  • Most our topical formulas are formulated without animal by-products; however, a small number do contain trace amounts of natural ingredients like honey and beeswax, as well as some marine-derived compounds. 

    To determine if a product you’re interested in is formulated without animal by-products, visit the specific product page at Murad.com and look under the “Formulated Without” tab. 

    If you have a question about a specific product, please let us know. We’d be happy to confirm if the products you’re using are formulated without animal by-products, or to customize a vegan-friendly regimen for you. 

  • Most Murad products are not expected to clog pores and some have been tested to confirm their non-comedogenic status. To determine if a product you’re interested in is non-comedogenic, go to Shop, select your product category (Cleansers & Toners, Exfoliators, etc.), then select Formulated Without from the filters to shop products that are non-comedogenic. If the filter option for non-comedogenic does not show up, then no products in that product category have been tested to confirm non-comedogenic status. You can also contact Customer Care to create a customized regimen that addresses any ingredient concerns you may have. 

  • ‘Hypo’ means ‘less’ so though there may be fewer irritants, they’re all not completely absent. Generally, the term ‘hypoallergenic’ is beauty industry shorthand for ‘fragrance free’, which is always a good idea for sensitive skin. The special Murad Recipe of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and hydrators helps to reduce irritation and inflammation. Additionally, it is always best to perform a patch test if you have any concerns regarding sensitivity. 

Our Commitment to the Environment

  • Murad is committed to green initiatives. We no longer use Styrofoam, and instead use a completely biodegradable, corn-based “look alike” peanut in our packages. We also endeavor to use the smallest possible shipping box for each shipment. 

    In addition, we’ve moved to sustainable solutions for our direct mailers (“cradle to cradle” certified); our plastic trays have been changed from PVC to PET, we recycle corrugate containers at our warehouse, and we print all packaging on FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified stock.
