Miraculous

"This is by far the best dark spot eraser I’ve ever used. I have been using it about 6 months now and my skin looks flawless."

Madonna P. (5/5)

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."

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.
