I’ve tried a few products that claimed they would brighten my skin with Vitamin C. Most of them smelled very citrusy but I never really noticed big results. After trying the Murad Intensive C Radiance Peel, I’m suddenly a believer. This stuff is the real deal!
This is a peel (really just a light lotion) that you smooth on, allow to tingle happily on your face for about 10 minutes, then rinse off with a washcloth. Suddenly, voila! The ‘lit-from-within’ glow is yours. My complexion immediately looked brighter and had a more even tone. My skin has a tendency to break out, but after using this peel I really noticed a reduction in redness. This peel promises to reverse the damage and aging done by sun, smog and stress. Follow up with moisturizer and be sure to use sun protection if you’re going outside.
The Intensive C Radiance Peel uses glycolic acid to exfoliate and improve the skin’s texture. Vitamin C and Indian Fig protect against free radicals while enhancing clarity and luminosity. Myrtle Extract supports collagen production to restore youthful tone and elasticity. This peel is such a treat for your skin, but it goes a step beyond with its fabulous citrus scent. If you need an incentive beyond clear, glowing skin, this product has a refreshing fragrance that is both uplifting and soothing.
You can find it at Murad, at the Murad Inclusive Health Spa, and, just in time for Mother’s Day, this product is also being released at Sephora and Ulta. $49.50 for 1.7 fl.oz.
