Reviews

It Works

"I started using Murad approximately 6 months ago and I really wanted it to work for me. It did. Over the past several years, I’ve used several name brand dark spot removing serum and while they worked some, Murad’s Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum set the bar. I can see the results but so can others. I’ve only used the product for about 6 months but seen better results than the other name brand products."

I have been using this

"I have been using this serum for just over a year . It has really taken care of the dark spots around my eyes and cheekbones. . I am also using a couple of their other products and like them as well !"

Eczema Discoloration Help

"At 62 and having eczma my entire life, I recently had the worse experience I had ever had. Dermatologist weren't very helpful; an prescription for the hyperpigmentation and itch did absolutely NOTHING. I had used Murad products before and decided to try them again including the Rapid Dark Spot Correction. The Murad products (the entire brightening line turned my dark spots around when prescription strength meds couldn't. I'm grateful and plan to continue using them."

This really works!

"Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum actually works on my hyperpigmented, 56 year old skin without drying it out or irritation. I’ve been using consistently and noticed results within the first 3 weeks - I’ve now been using it for about 10 weeks. Spots are fading dramatically and my skin is glowing and even toned. I’ve done the results are similar to broadband light therapy which I’ve spent $$$ on, but the spots return and I have to do repeated treatments (which include downtime, crustiness and flaking). This serum beats all of that! Use is consistently day and night, and it works."

Q&A

What color is the serum in this product?t I have a small bottle and the serum is a gold color. Wondering if it's old?
Please contact customerservice@murad.com and explain your concern with the code stamped on the very bottom of the bottle. It is a letter - number - letter - number combination.
Difference between glycolic serum and correcting serum
The Vita C Glycolic Serum is great for brightening your overall complexion. The Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum is best for specific pigmentation spots.
Is there an expiration date for rapid dark spot correcting serum?
I have sent you an email on how to read the production date. The product would then expire 3 years after that.
After starting this serum, my skin went through some breakouts which alarmed me. I was only using this a.m and p.m with my High Potency Face Finishing &Firming Moisturizer by Perricone MD. I use a good quality cleanser, the correcting serum and moisturizer. Can this be an adverse reaction from the serum? Thank you.
It is difficult to say for certain because everyone’s skin is unique and responds differently to new active ingredients. Additionally, while we ensure the efficacy of our own formulas, we do not test our products in combination with other brands.
Can I use this under my eyes for dark circles?
Actually, we suggest the Vita-C Eyes Dark Circle Corrector for that specific area.
