Murad Vita-C Glycolic Serum 1 fl oz — Gold-Stabilized Vitamin C & Glycolic Acid for Brighter, Smoother Skin

This advanced lightweight serum combines a stabilized form of vitamin C with exfoliating glycolic acid and a Phyto-Luminescent Extract to help reveal a clearer, more luminous complexion. Formulated for everyday use across skin types, the formula aims to reduce the look of dullness, uneven tone and surface texture while supporting antioxidant protection. It’s free from parabens, sulfates and phthalates and is designed to layer easily under moisturizers and sunscreens.

How does this serum brighten and refine skin tone?

The serum uses gold-stabilized vitamin C to preserve potency and deliver antioxidant support, while glycolic acid gently exfoliates surface cells to improve product penetration and surface texture. Phyto-Luminescent Extract works to reflect and amplify skin’s natural light for a more illuminated appearance.

• Gold-stabilized vitamin C for sustained antioxidant activity.
• Glycolic acid to slough away dead skin and refine texture.
• Phyto-Luminescent Extract for light-reflecting radiance.

When should I use Murad Vita-C Glycolic Serum in my routine?

Apply the serum in the morning or evening after cleansing and before moisturizer to maximize absorption. Because it contains glycolic acid, introduce it gradually if you’re new to chemical exfoliants and always follow with sunscreen during daytime use.

• Use after cleansing and before moisturizer or sunscreen.
• Start with every other day if you have sensitive skin, then increase frequency.
• Pair with Murad Vita-C Eyes for targeted eye-area brightening.

Is this serum suitable for my skin type and concerns?

Murad formulated the serum to be compatible with normal, dry, oily, combination and sensitive skin types, aiming to tackle common concerns like dullness, uneven tone and surface roughness. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly and layers well under other skincare products.

• Suitable for all major skin types, including sensitive skin.
• Targets hyperpigmentation, dullness and uneven texture.
• Non-comedogenic and free of parabens, sulfates and phthalates.

What results and benefits can I realistically expect?

With regular use, expect improved surface smoothness, more even-looking tone and a brighter overall glow as dead skin cells are removed and vitamin C works to enhance clarity. Results depend on consistency and complementary sun protection and may vary by individual.

• Smoother skin texture from regular glycolic exfoliation.
• Visibly brighter complexion from stabilized vitamin C and light-reflecting extract.
• Better makeup application and appearance due to refined skin surface.

Who is this for: Murad Vita-C Glycolic Serum is designed for anyone seeking a daily brightening step that blends antioxidant defense with chemical exfoliation. It’s ideal for people wanting to reduce dullness, even skin tone, and refine texture while using a serum that layers easily into morning or evening routines. If you have active irritation or are using other strong exfoliants, consult instructions and introduce the product gradually.
