Ultra-gentle glycolic resurfacing for sensitive, reactive skin

This daily resurfacing serum uses an encapsulated, microdosed glycolic acid to polish away dullness while respecting a delicate skin barrier. Fermented heartleaf extract helps soothe visible redness and discomfort as ceramides reinforce resilience. The lightweight texture absorbs quickly without stickiness, leaving skin soft and comfortable. It’s formulated for sensitive and eczema-prone skin and is both hypoallergenic and fragrance-free.

Designed to make exfoliation possible for easily irritated complexions, this serum supports healthy skin turnover without the sting. In consumer testing and clinical evaluation, users reported calmer, smoother, more radiant skin with improved tolerance to triggers. It’s suitable for all skin types—including sensitive, balanced, oily, combination and dry—and can be used morning and night. The formula is made without parabens, phthalates, sulfates, gluten, animal-derived ingredients or artificial colorants.

Who it’s best for: Sensitive and easily irritated skin; balanced, oily, combination and dry types seeking gentle exfoliation
What makes it different: Microdosed glycolic acid + heartleaf and barrier-supporting ceramides deliver visible smoothing and radiance without typical AHA irritation

How To Use Murad Heartleaf Gentle Resurfacing Serum

Use AM and PM: After cleansing, apply 1–2 pumps of the serum to face and neck.
Allow the serum to absorb fully before layering your moisturizer or treatment.
In the morning, follow with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher to protect newly resurfaced skin.

Pro Tip (from estheticians): If you’re new to exfoliating acids, begin with a single nightly use for the first week, then increase to twice daily as skin tolerance builds. Pair with a barrier-repair moisturizer to enhance comfort.
