Reviews

"I love all of the Retinol Youth Renewal products. The serum ia my favorite. I have received so my compliments on my skin since using Murad products."

— M (5/5)

Great Product

"This product is very nice. It has a fine texture, is neither water-y nor greasy. The smell is mild and pleasant. It applies well on the face and gets absorbed quickly. I use this in the evening and the Vita C Glycolic serum in the morning. My skin tone has improved and the skin feels soft and smooth."

— Meng Z. (5/5)

A nightly must for me

"I’m big on texture, if I don’t enjoy applying it then I’ll rarely use it. So I love how silky this product is, how quickly but not too quickly it absorbs, and I love the smell. Also love how it’s gentle enough for me to use every night without irritation (skipping exfoliating nights). I always keep an extra bottle in back stock because I notice my skin texture get too texture-y when I stop using it. I’m about to turn 36 and am miles away from feeling the need to get Botox thanks to all my Murad products."

— Sabrina N. (5/5)

Q&A

I noticed a scent from the retinol youth renewal serum. I liked it and wanted to know what the scent is.
I am so sorry however all I know is that there is fragrance in the formula however what it is, they do not release as it is considered proprietary.
Are there eco-friendly refill options once we finish the Retinol Youth Renewal night Cream?
At this time we do not have refills but we are actively discussing this.
If I run out of the youth serum retinol eye cream, is it OK to use this face serum around my eyes while I am waiting to receive the eye serum? Or should I skip it? Thank you!
We would say that you do not want to apply it any closer than the orbital bone.
What percent retinol is used? I am using .25 now and wonder how this compares?
First let me start by stating that we disclose the percentage of an ingredient only when it is an “active ingredient” in other words, an OTC (over-the-counter), FDA (Food & Drug Administration) approved ingredient. Here at Murad, as part of our Corporate policy, we do not disclose percentages in our high performance formulations as this information is considered proprietary. What I can share with you is that Dr. Murad creates formulas based on a result not a percentage. Our products are designed to treat a specific concern within the skin, keeping in mind our Whole-Person Health approach.
I'm confused! I use the serum at night, but when do I use the night cream? They were both in the intro kit with the eye cream. Also do I use a moisturizer after?
In the evening you want to cleanse your skin and pat dry. Apply the Retinol Youth Renewal Serum, the Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream and finally the Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum

Frequently Asked Questions

    It helps improve skin texture, firmness, and tone, while delivering retinol-based actives and hydrating ingredients.

    Retinol Tri-Active Technology is a blend with a fast-acting retinoid, delayed-release retinol, and a retinol booster for rapid results while still being gentle on skin.

    Apply retinol at night after cleansing and toning but before moisturizer. Use every other night, or use 2-3 times per week and gradually increase to nightly use as your skin builds tolerance. Apply SPF 30 or higher in the morning as retinal increases sun sensitivity.

    This product has been tested safe for sensitive skin. However, we advise performing a patch test and introducing the serum gradually into your routine, as well as buffering with a moisturizer.

    Yes. The formula in Retinol Youth Renewal Serum includes added fragrance (parfum) and fragrance components.

    Key actives include retinol, hydroxypinacolone retinoate, sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), ceramide NP, squalane and Swertia extract.

    Retinoids can be drying for some users. If needed, layer a moisturizer over the serum or use less frequently to minimize dryness.

    To reduce irritation, introduce other retinoids or strong actives slowly. Consider alternating nights or using a buffering step in your routine. However, Retinol Youth Renewal Serum can be layered with Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream and Retinol Youth Renewal Night Serum.

    Yes, this serum is formulated without animal-derived ingredients.

    Apply Retinol Youth Renewal Serum to your face and neck, avoiding the eye area. Keep the serum below the orbital bone and away from your lips. For the delicate eye area, use a product specifically formulated for that zone, like Retinol Youth Renewal Eye Serum.

    If you're using other strong actives such as AHAs or vitamin C, introduce this serum gradually to avoid irritation. Use your dark spot serum during the day, and retinal/retinol at night. Start by alternating nights with retinal/retinol or reducing frequency until your skin builds tolerance, then adjust based on how your skin responds. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF during the day when using retinoids, brightening, or exfoliating serums to protect skin and prevent new dark spots from forming.

    Murad carefully assesses our products and ingredients to help ensure they are safe for use. Because every person and pregnancy is unique, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider if you have any questions about product use during pregnancy or lactation. Please note, this product contains retinoids, which are not recommended for use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
