A Glycolic Acid Treatment I can Tolerate

"I have had problems using glycolic acid because it's such a strong AHA. I have much better tolerance for the larger molecules like Lactic and Mandelic acid, but want to take advantage of glycolic's benefits. Murad's Gentle Glycolic Acid Resurfacing Serum has been a game-changer, and exactly what I was looking for. It's gentle, soothing, and leaves my skin radiant. I really appreciate being able to subscribe to refills which keeps it delivered regularly at a great price. Thanks to this product, I'm now tolerating a daily glycolic treatment without irritation."

Recommend

"I bought this for my dry, sensitive skin and it works really great. It is nice and light. My face doesn’t feel oily or like I lathered any super heavy on my face. It feels smooth and moisturizing."

— Nik (5/5)

Amazing!!!

"Removers did skin gently without any burning or stripping. Recommend 10/10"

— Emelina M. (5/5)

"Perfect as ordered"

— Brandon (5/5)

So far so good.

"So I bought this product because I struggle with adult acne and while the several products that I've used made by murad do work somewhat, I still battle with a lot of redness on the bridge of my nose. While I haven't been using this product that long, I do notice a difference and diminishing of the redness on my nose which is nice. However, I wonder if I'm applying it correctly because I start out with the acne clarifying cleanser followed by the outsmart acne serum and then I apply this product afterwards followed by the oatmeal moisturizer but I'm wondering if I'm doing those steps in the proper order. Either way, my results at this point have been better than they have previously, so we'll see how things take shape and maybe I'll make some other changes later on down the road. But for now, it seems like this product is working good at relieving the redness and providing a level of exfoliation which I feel like I need with my oily skin and being gentle at the same time, which my sensitive skin needs also."

Smoother

"It help my sensitive skin become better, and not that red. After using it, I feel that it has a skin-grinding effect, and my skin is smoother."

— Jiamin W. (5/5)

Helped husband’s psoriasis and eczema

"My husband gets very dry, white, scaly skin on his face during the winter. I got him this skin regimen and it has helped him tremendously. His face is now soft, even toned with no issues."

— Evelyn S. (5/5)

Big difference in my skin!

"I have had amazing results. My skin is sensitive and red most of the time. With the use of this serum the redness, dryness and tightness have decreased a lot. The skin feels very soft. I have been told that my face looks radiant. I use it daily as it is very gentle on my skin. I love it!"

— Amary (5/5)

My new favorite Serum

"I am sold on Murad's serums, and the Heartleaf Gentle Resurfacing Serum is my new favorite. This product feels so soothing I apply it morning and night. I could tell a difference in my skin tone and texture in days. My much younger colleagues were asking me how I achieved such radiant and glowing skin! That was fun! Highly recommend this product. I plan to try other products from the Murad Heartleaf line."
